FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
The X-Load LB-2 is extremely simple to operate, with only two front panel controls.
DI LEVEL
— This controls the DI output volume of the LB-2 at both the Unbalanced 1/4” and Balanced
XLR jacks. Set this knob as required so as not to overdrive the input of a device connected to the DI
Output of the LB-2.
VOICING
— A tube amp interacts differently with different types of speakers. The voicing switch of
the LB-2 changes the resonance of its load to simulate this. The “UK” position simulates a classic
British guitar speaker. The “US” position lowers the resonance frequency to replicate the experience
of playing through a classic American guitar speaker.
REAR PANEL CONNECTORS
AMP IN — Connect the speaker output of your tube amp to this jack. The X-Load LB-2 is an 8-ohm
(8Ω) device with a maximum power rating of 100W.
SPEAKER THRU — Connecting a speaker to this output jack disconnects the internal load and connects
the Amp In jack to the speaker instead. The DI output will still be active so you can simultaneously
record or process the DI signal while using your amp with a real speaker.
WARNING: Never connect Speaker Thru to any mic, instrument or line-level inputs!
UNBALANCED DI/LINE OUTPUT — (1/4”) This passive DI output provides a line-level signal. Neither
phantom power nor external power are required to use this output.
BALANCED DI/LINE OUTPUT
— (XLR) This active DI output provides a line level signal. For long cable
lengths and maximum fidelity the XLR output is preferred as it provides a low-impedance output and
immunity to noise conduction. This output requires that the X-Load LB-2 be powered in one of two
ways:
A)
Connect an external power supply to the power input jack of the X-Load LB-2. Use a 9–24 VDC,
center negative power supply (as typically used with “stomp boxes”).
—OR—
B) Supply phantom power via the connected XLR cable.
GROUND LIFT
— This switch disconnects the ground of the X-Load LB-2 from the ground of the XLR
output. This may help in breaking noisy ground loops.
