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. 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.

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.

The JDX Reactor… another Power ToolSM from the creative minds at Radial..

	Using the JDX with an amplifier: The Radial JDX connects between the head and cabinet with a balanced feed going to the PA. This set up eliminates the use of a microphone on stage, reducing clutter while providing the mixing engineer with a consistent tone independent of room acoustics, mic placement or bleed from other sound sources.

	Combining the JDX with a microphone: The JDX is connected as described above but a microphone is added for a second channel. The two sounds are then mixed together or spread ‘stereo’ to create a fatter tone. This setup is often used in the studio to create ‘produced’ tones.

	Using the JDX with a Mic and a Radial Phazer™: The magic of the JDX is fully revealed when combining the JDX’s direct feed with a microphone while incorporating the Radial Phazer to phase-align the two signals. This combination let’s you dial-in the ‘sweet spot’ to produce fat rich guitar tones quickly. This is of particular advantage to touring bands that must set up quickly between gigs as they travel from one venue to another.
