Capture amp with Ironman 2 or Weber Mass?

Nano Cortex
1

Is it possible to capture an amp using the Line Out on the Tone King Ironman 2 or Weber mini mass? This is my first time capturing on my Nano Cortex and I have been just getting feedback loops.

I did successfully capture with the DI out on the amp Im trying to capture, but I am just getting squealing if I use the Line Outs on wither attenuator. I have tried putting a DI in between the attenuation and Nano Cortex, but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Anyone else have success with these? Do I need a different load box?

Squealing with load boxes seems to be a common thing, at least from my side. I have a Suhr Reactive Load/IR that has squealed on me in the past as well. Just make sure that the output level of the load box isn’t too high, and that the input level is set correctly on your Nano. Also, don’t sit/stand right next to the load box - it’s the same as standing right next to the amp/speaker. Disclaimer, I don’t have the Nano but I have the QC so I know there are slight differences there.

Thanks. I tried with everything moved farther away, but still a full-on feedback loop. It’s like the Nano input is feeding the signal back to the amp.

What cabling are you using TRS/TS etc? Is the line out on your TK line/MIC level? Is it balanced etc.? There hasn’t been any known issues brought up regarding capturing issues but there may be some specific settings you need to set on the TK side. Have you reached out to TK support? Worst case, please email support@neuraldsp.com if you continue to have issues and they will try to get you sorted quickly. In the meantime, hopefully someone will pipe in regarding how to use the TK line out for capturing.

I am using all TS guitar cables. I did successfully do a capture of the amp’s (Marshall Studio Vintage combo) DI out, so I dont think it’s a connection issue.

Guitar → Input
Output 2R → Amp input
Line Out → Capture Input

The line out on each of the 3 attenuators I have are all giving me the same issue, so guessing it is something else, but not really sure at this point.

I have tried the TK Ironman 2 mini, Weber Minimass, and a THD Hotplate, all with the same issue.

I made a quick unlisted video to show what is going on: https://youtube.com/shorts/hmbxJuV01Dk?feature=share

Does it look like I have anything wrong?

I also just tried with a balanced cable and got the same result.
