Is there any real benefit to owning both the Motherload and the Richter Control?
The Motherload is a dummy load combined with a speaker tone DI. It does live and recording equally well. It also has a variable speaker output suitable for room volume. The Richter Control is a dummy load with a variable speaker output. It is intended for those amps that are simply too loud to crank up. The output range is loud enough for stage and low enough for small studio. So the Motherload is really a connection into the sound system of auditorium or studio, the Richter is a backline control. If you want to achieve both then it is an advantage to have both units. They connect together to form a combined backline and FOH system and can be situated at either location, joined through a cable snake.
