I have been working on a DIY reactive load box with IR speaker simulation for playing a tube amp silently - akin to a UA Ox Box or Two Notes Captor X. I think it’s finally done! It was a lot of fun to make.
All the hardware and software are open source and there are extensive build instructions.

@optilude@techhub.social THIS! IS! AMAZING! Just recently I was thinking in researching if anyone did create a DIY loadbox! Jumping right now to your github (although in my case, I probably will stick to software cabinet simulation but love the project). Kudos! Thanks for sharing it!
