Put Your Amp's Tones Directly Into the Mix with This Box!

The Radial JDX Reactor guitar amp direct box lets you capture your amp's true sound while allowing a direct feed to a PA or recorder.

If you want a more manageable, consistent onstage sound, or want to use your amp to record without waking the neighbors, this box is just what the doctor ordered. If miking your amp isn't a viable option, or you just want to combine a line signal with a miked one, check out the JDX Reactor!

Controllable, realistic amp tones - direct

The Radial JDX Reactor is a direct box designed to capture the explosive dynamics and warm tone of the electric guitar by connecting between the head and cabinet of a guitar amplifier to provide a direct feed to the PA or recording system.

What it does

100% discrete Class A circuitry, multi-stage filtering and a unique 'reactive' load all interact with the signal coming from the head and the electro-magnetic 'back' impulse from the cabinet to produce a more realistic rendering.

Consistent tone

In use, the JDX improves on the consistency of the guitar signal over a typical microphone, as irregularities of mic placement and varying acoustics no longer play the dominant role on stage. When combined with a microphone, fatter tones can be created by double tracking and stereo imaging the two signals for more 'produced' results.
NOTE: The JDX Reactor is NOT a load box - A speaker or equivalent load must be connected to the JDX at all times during use.

Radial JDX Reactor Guitar Amp Direct Box Features:
  • Speaker cabinet emulation for natural tone
  • Direct feed to console eliminates need for a mic
  • Ideal for recording and live performance
  • Works great in conjunction with a miked amp
  • 100% Class-A circuitry
  • Multi-stage filtering
The Radial JDX Reactor lets you inject your amp tones direct!
