I've been experimenting with a DIY reactive load I built some years ago for the past few days. I pretty much wrote the thing off previously, but this time I've actually had fun noodling even through headphones. Here's a random recording of bright bridge humbucker --> slightly modded Princeton Reverb clone at almost full volume --> unorthodox pairing with 4x12" impulse response (plus a bit of room reverb). Usual caveats and all that, but I don't think the tone itself is half bad.
Having our own four walls I can just about crank the amp at home without the load box, but even at 14W and an inefficient 10" speaker it's still impractically loud going into overdrive.
Anyway, like this amp a lot. Planning on trying another tweak to reduce bass after the preamp (as it is, I almost always have the bass turned all the way down).
