{"product_id":"bad-cat-purepath-reactive-load-box","title":"Bad Cat Purepath Reactive Load Box","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurepath is a reactive load box and speaker simulator with no power supply, no DSP and no menus. Your amp powers it. Inside is a mechanical reactive load, so the amp sees something that behaves like a real speaker, with the sag, dynamics and interaction you'd lose with a resistive load. The direct output runs through an analog cab simulation, not an impulse response, so there's no latency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes up to 150 watts at 4, 8 or 16 ohms, and you can run it silent or pass the signal on to an extension cab. Tone is set with switches rather than presets: Edge or Center mic position, Open or Closed cab, Ceramic or Alnico speaker character, a presence boost, a -20 dB pad for loud amps, plus ground lift and phase for blending with a mic'd cab. It won a NAMM 2026 Best in Show award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a tube-amp player who wants to record or play a silent stage without giving up the amp they love. If you want an attenuator with a re-amp stage instead, Bad Cat's Unleash does that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Handling: Up to 150 Watts\u003cbr\u003eImpedance Options: 4, 8, and 16 Ohms\u003cbr\u003eLoad Selection: Silent or Extension Cab\u003cbr\u003eFully Analog Speaker Simulation, No DSP\u003cbr\u003eNo External Power Required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEVEL: 0 dB \/ -20 dB\u003cbr\u003eMIC: Edge \/ Center\u003cbr\u003eCAB: Open \/ Closed\u003cbr\u003eSPKR: Ceramic \/ Alnico\u003cbr\u003ePRESENCE: 0 \/ 1\u003cbr\u003eGROUND: Lift \/ Normal\u003cbr\u003ePHASE: Normal \/ Reverse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONNECTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInput from Amp\u003cbr\u003eOutput to Speaker\u003cbr\u003eDirect Output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA (Designed at Bad Cat in Costa Mesa, CA)\u003cbr\u003eSize: 7.5\" (W) x 7\" (D) x 4\" (H, 3.25\" without feet)\u003cbr\u003eWarranty: 5-year Limited Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Bad Cat","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47909581422676,"sku":"BCP-PUREPATH","price":628.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/bad-cat-bcp-purepath-front_sq.jpg?v=1792525351","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/bad-cat-purepath-reactive-load-box","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
