Radial JDX Direct-Drive Active Guitar Amp Direct Box

Experience the Magic of Amp Simulation with Radial JDX Direct-Drive
The Radial JDX Direct-Drive is not just another direct box; it's a revolutionary tool that brings the essence of classic guitar amplifiers right to your pedalboard. Imagine the convenience and freedom of not having to carry a heavy amp to your gigs, yet still enjoying the authentic tone and feel of a real guitar amplifier. This is exactly what the JDX Direct-Drive offers, making it a must-have for guitarists seeking both practicality and tonal excellence.

Authentic Amp Tones at Your Fingertips
The secret behind the JDX Direct-Drive's impressive performance lies in its meticulously crafted series of filters, modeled on the iconic sound of a Shure SM57 microphone in front of a Marshall 4 x 12" cabinet. This core tone is then complemented with two additional voicing options: the warm, rich character of a vintage Marshall tube head and the clear, vibrant sound of an early Fender Twin. These options provide a range of classic amp tones that guitarists dream of.

Versatile and Easy to Use
The JDX Direct-Drive is designed for simplicity and versatility. Its straightforward signal path starts with a 1/4" input jack, accompanied by a throughput for feeding an amp, if desired. A dedicated tuner out, buffered to eliminate pickup loading and noise, ensures your guitar is always perfectly tuned. The heart of the device is the amp-simulating filters, followed by a 1/4" guitar-level out and a balanced XLR output to feed the mixing board. Additionally, the Direct-Drive features a presence switch for added tonal sparkle, as well as polarity-reverse and ground-lift switches for optimal signal integrity.

A Must-Have for Every Electric Guitarist
The Radial JDX Direct-Drive is more than just a direct box; it's a game-changer for electric guitarists. Whether you're playing live gigs or recording in the studio, the Direct-Drive offers the definitive guitar amp tone in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. It's a remarkable tool that every electric guitarist should have in their arsenal.
