Customer Reviewsfrom Beautiful Fairview, PA May 16, 2012 Music Background: 40 years semi-pro bassist. Works great for bass!Since the 80's all of my bass amps have had line-outs, and I've rarely been satisfied with the FOH tone. Lately I've been using a '70 Traynor YBA-3 with a GT-6B in front of it, and I love the sound. The only concern was how to get that sound to the FOH without using a mic or the line-out on the GT-6. I wanted to get the sound of that tube head out front.I ordered the JDX, and I have to tell you - this thing does everything they say. With my PA channel set flat - I now get the same sound through the PA as I'm hearing from my amp! It's actually difficult for a soundman to screw this up!! Love it. Radial has a great site that has tons of info on this box; they leave you with absolutely no unanswered questions. from Erie, PA May 8, 2012 Music Background: Pro Musician, Recording engineer, Studio player Sweet!!!I've been playing live for over 25 years using great amp setups, I'm currently using VHT 2502 amp, JMP-1 & G-force in my rack. The JDX unit gives me a more consistant tone with much faster / easier setup time. Another huge advantage is less open mics on stage.Can I get a great sound with good mics, yes, no question, and no the 57 is not in my opinion a good mic fo guitar cabs sorry. The tone this gives is every bit as good as a good mic with proper front end EQ, which you need with any great mic anyway. Bottom line for the money (200) bucks; Ease of setup; more consistant tone night after night; and less stage noise going into your channel. Its a no brainer, I'm buying another one today from Canton, MI February 21, 2012 Music Background: Hobbyist - musician, recording engineer Can't beat this little box!I have been using the Radial JDX for a couple of years now and I could not be happier with how this great little box performs. I have used it on stage and in my home studio and it always does what it's supposed to do... be transparent. Great features, fantastic build quality and accurate audio. My one and only complaint would be the walwart... just because I don't care for them on any gear. All I tell you is buy one. You will love it.I use a JDX and a PRODI on my rig in my studio to capture both wet and dry audio from PRS Custom 24. It is nice to have two tracks of clean audio to mix and blend as you desire. from Brighton, MI November 26, 2011 Music Background: Musician Awesome Little BoxI use this box to split my post amp-head guitar signal to 1) feed rack delay and reverb units via a small mixer and 2) feed a RockCrusher and my cabinet. for a wet/dry stage mix. Like all Radial gear, the JDX is built like a brick and does its job without any problems. Small, reliable and effective! Highly recommended.from Kennewick WA August 15, 2010 Music Background: Studio Musician eBay your micFor years I have fought to capture the true tone of my amps. Spent a lot of money on some good mics but was never satisfied. This JDX Box does a fantastic job capturing the amps true tone and sending the signal to your mixer or A/D converter in the studio.Plug your amps speaker output to the JDX box and run another speaker cable to you cabinet so the head has a safe load. Then run a XLR cable into your mixer or A.D converter and you are set. Perfect control for you sound engineer. The box also has a ground lift if needed and a phase switch. It also comes with a phantom power wall wart. I bought two of these, one for my Metro 100 watt Super-lead and one for my 100 watt Marshal Vintage Modern and couldn't be happier. I had a Royer 121 and while that is a great mic this box actually does as good as the Royer capturing the tone. I was concerned about how the box what pickup the details of the speakers but when I used it this worry went away. I also thought I would have to eq up the signal but this also it not necessary at all. Nothing but praise for this little box, wish I had one years ago. I consider this a must have piece of gear for any guitarist who records or gigs.
