Your Small Amp LOUDER – Modern Guitar Amp Load Boxes 2 [Two Notes Reload II & Fryette Powerstation]
A Load Box To Make Your Amp Louder? Well, yes you can! Welcome to the show! In the last episode we did the obvious thing with an amp attenuator: made a big amp less loud. In this episode, we’re turning the tables and using a couple of modern attenuators/load boxes to do the opposite, and make a small amp much louder. This is a GREAT solution for anyone who plays mainly with a lower-powered amp, but has the occasional need to make it truly giggable… while adding some really great additional features. Enjoy the show!
