Headload Specifications

The Headload is a device that is intended to simulate the sound of a guitar cabinet and allow the user to compensate for the sound depending on the level that is being produced. That said, the following specifications do not provide any truly significant information as it is completely dependent on the amplifier and speaker cabinet in use. As such, we ask you to please review with the awareness that these measurements are truly subjective in nature. The Radial Headload is quite likely the most useful load box ever made.
