Radial JDX-48 Reactor Guitar Amp Direct Box

RADIAL JDX-48 Reactor Guitar Amp Direct Injection (DI) Direct Box
Perfect for performing guitarists that want a consistent sound in their monitor mix, night after night, no matter the venue or sound technician.

Eliminates the need for a Microphone
It is common practice for guitarists to place a microphone in front of their amp to send the amplified sound to the PA or recording system. The problem is that when the mic is very close to the speaker cone, a slight change in position will significantly alter the sound. This makes getting consistent results difficult. This is further exacerbated by the room acoustics which vary considerably from stage to stage and bleed from other instruments entering the mic making it more difficult to mix.

Class-A Radial Engineering Technology
Unlike other guitar amp interfaces that only capture the sound from the amp head, the Radial JDX is a unique direct box that reacts to both the guitar amp head AND the speaker’s back electromagnetic field to produce a more dynamic and realistic sound. A transformer coupled input provides a reactive bridge while also isolating the guitar amp from the PA system to eliminate the buzz and hum caused by ground loops. This is followed by a multistage filter that simulates a typical 12" speaker. The JDX features 100% discreet components using Radial’s unique class-A circuit topology for smooth even order harmonics, exceptional headroom and low noise.
