Unleash the Beast, Tame the Roar!
- Introducing Torpedo Reload II. The latest instalment in Two Notes' class-leading reactive load solution legacy marking the definitive watershed in contemporary backline control. Featuring twin-channel operation, selectable multi-impedance compatibility and true continuous attenuation, Reload II is our most advanced load box to date. Its mission is simple: unleash the power of any amplifier or line-level source without compromise.
- Armed with a ground-up rework of our defining reactive load for a Celestion® Approved Load Response, the match is set to drive any amp's power stage (rated up to 200 W RMS) to perfection, retaining all the sonic integrity your performance demands. Scalable from a whisper to a full-throttle onslaught, Reload II's ultra-transparent dual-mono 215-W (per channel) amplifier/attenuator and paired speaker outputs preserve every facet of your tone. Add a stereo FX loop, dual-line outputs and Genome Reload II Edition (software download) into the mix and Reload II doesn't just enhance your rig, it redefines it.


Celestion® Approved Load Response:
- Feel, Response, Tone - they're the bedrock of any performance, all rooted in a premier load response that's second to none. It's this mantra that's spawned Reload II's all-new reactive load and the final word in next-generation load box technology. For starters, a ground-up rework of our load design delivers an impedance curve inspired by Celestion®'s iconic driver line for an industry-first "Celestion® Approved Load Response". Fuse this with switchable multi-impedance capability (4-, 8- and 16-Ω), and you're locked to get the best out of every amp in your collection.


Whatever Your Rig, Reload It!
- Whether it's a modeller, fly-rig, amplifier or amp sim, Reload II is spec'd to deliver on any mandate. First up, a multi-impedance amp in and dual-line inputs make hooking up anything from a 200-W amplifier's power stage to a dual-mono/stereo line-level source a snap. Throw twin-channel operation into the mix - complete with independent source selection per channel - and Reload II delivers on any scenario from the bedroom to the main stage.


Surgical Attenuation:
- It's a fact: dialling in your amp's sweet spot means driving its power stage. The downside? Your driver's going to move a lot of air! The answer's simple: Reload II's twin-channel continuous attenuator fueled by an integrated ultra-transparent power amplifier.


Maximum Firepower:
- From a line-level source to a low-powered amp - or simply a scenario calling for a secondary speaker output - Reload II's twin-channel sonic muscle delivers a mighty 215 W per cab output, elevating even the most modest rig to main-stage status!


Loop Command:
- For apex-level FX integration, look no further than Reload II's footswitchable stereo FX loop. Packing series/parallel routing facilities, return dry/wet mix controls and dual mono / A->B link modes, it's primed for adding a full-featured stereo FX loop to your amplifier or even kicking out a quasi W/D/W configuration using just 2 cabinets.


Up for Any Occasion:
- Whether it's a studio or live rack, an ergonomic top box or a desktop mainstay, Reload II delivers right out the gate. Fusing a made-to-move footprint, an all-metal chassis, optional rack ears (included), genuine wood sides and premium component arsenal, Reload II is our most rig-ready solution to date.


Peak Performance:
- Under the hood, Reload II packs some serious horsepower. For those times when you need to "punch it", a control arsenal engineered for fuss-free signal optimization guarantees to unleash every iota of power on tap. First up, a variable Amp In Level control - and affiliated status indicators - primes any amplifier to leverage all the might Reload II's dual 215-W-per-channel power amplifier delivers. Add multi-stage clipping indication into the equation and the match is set for unparalleled authority to elevate any source signal through Reload II's architecture.


Revoice It!
- Rounding out Reload II's control arsenal is a suite of expertly-voiced tone-shaping tools, engineered to get your tone where it needs to be, fast! Front and center, dedicated depth and presence controls add weight, body and definition to your input source; fuse this with integrated Mojo controls per power amp channel - for the feel and response of a pushed amplifier at even the most modest levels - and all rudiments are set for meteoric sonics every time.


Direct Ops:
- From tracking in the studio to a road-ready backline essential, Reload II is poised to deliver on any need. Packing independent dual XLR line outputs, complete with individual level controls, transforming any rig into a stage or studio DI couldn't be simpler. Better yet, Reload ships with a comprehensive software package, all developed to make the sound in your head a reality!


Genome Reload II Edition Included:
- Out the box, Reload II ships with a lifetime license to Genome - the carrier-class software ecosystem engineered for world-class DynIR speaker simulation and much more. Fusing an ever-growing roster of virtual cabinets, amplifiers, pedals, and essential studio FX, Genome is your first - and final - destination for professional recordings.


Reload II Series-R DynIR Cabinet Collection:
- Experience expert-level tone shaping with the Genome-ready Series-R DynIR cabinet collection. Packing a premier assemblage of 24 expertly-curated DynIRs from Celestion® and Two Notes' expansive catalog, elevating your tone with the undisputed top-tier cabinet emulation platform is primed for any sonic exploit.
