The selectable reactive load retains the natural interaction between the amplifier and speaker load, allowing the power section to operate in its ideal range without requiring stage-level volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier signal can be sent through the integrated 30-watt reactive drive power amplifier to an external speaker cabinet for low-volume playing. At the same time, cabinet emulation, microphone modeling, effects, and recording tools provide a polished direct signal for a mixer, audio interface, computer, or headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTube Amp Tone at Practical Volume\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTube amplifiers often sound and respond best when their power sections are working hard, but the resulting volume can be impractical outside a stage or isolation room. The selectable reactive load captures the amplifier’s speaker output while offering response characteristics modeled after combo and stack-style speaker systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated reactive drive power amplifier delivers up to 30 watts to an external 4, 8, or 16-ohm speaker cabinet. Continuous speaker-output control makes it possible to retain the character of a driven amplifier while reducing the listening level for home practice, studio monitoring, and recording sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCabinet and Microphone Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe companion editor provides detailed control over the direct-recording signal. Choose from 22 BOSS speaker-cabinet emulations and five classic microphone types, with two microphones available simultaneously. Microphone position, distance, and level can be adjusted independently to create a blended cabinet sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to two speaker-cabinet impulse responses can also be used at the same time. The included collection features ten Celestion Digital IRs, while 64 user slots allow compatible third-party IRs to be stored in the unit. Integrated time-alignment tools help synchronize dual-IR combinations and reduce phase-related problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMix Assist and Air Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix Assist provides three selectable contour curves with adjustable transient control, helping guitar tracks sit more naturally within a finished production. This allows the recorded sound to be shaped for the mix without requiring extensive external processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir Feel uses BOSS spatial processing to recreate the depth and dimension associated with hearing an amplifier in a physical room. Two studio variations provide a more natural sense of space than a conventional close-miked cabinet signal, and Air Feel is also available through the headphone output for quiet playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEffects and Rig Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn external effects loop supports both series and parallel operation, allowing modulation, delay, reverb, and other effects to be placed after the amplifier’s distortion. Internal processing includes compression, parametric or graphic EQ, delay, and reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabinet selections, microphone settings, IR combinations, effects, and other parameters can be organized as custom rigs in the editor. Ten favorite rigs can be stored for immediate recall from the front-panel Rig control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecording, Monitoring, and Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB-C audio supports direct recording and playback with compatible computers and mobile devices. Balanced stereo XLR outputs connect to mixers, recording equipment, and audio interfaces, while the front-panel headphone output supports quiet monitoring with Air Feel processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA MIDI input provides external control, and a dedicated connector supports the optional BOSS BT-DUAL Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor. With the adaptor installed, audio can be streamed from a mobile device and compatible editor functions can be controlled wirelessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional reactive load box and direct-recording system for tube
