General

Playing gigs is the best, but you can never say that lugging an amp from show to show is fun. As such, Radial serve up a full amp-simulator and DI in one humble little red box. Using the Radial JDX Direct-Drive, you can connect your guitar (and your pedalboard) directly to the mixer then select the emulated sound of a combo, stack, or a JDX 4x 12", all with both bright and normal settings. The balanced output, meanwhile, comes fitted with a polarity switch and a ground-lift.

The Radial JDX Direct-Drive: (Almost) Everything

So, since the Direct-Drive doubles as a DI box and a genuine amplifier in a stompbox format, you have reliable, full sound that's as easy as can be for your sound engineer to amplify. The JDX also offers a output for a tuner and can be used for recording in silence, operates via a standard 9V power supply (not included), and will even slot neatly onto your pedalboard. This really us as compact and mobile as your rig will ever get.

Vraiment un excellent produit !!! Je l'utilise autant en répétition, qu'en concert. On a juste à prendre sa guitare, son pedalboard, qu'on branche direct dans la console de mixage via ce petit bijou qu'est la Radial JDX Direct Drive, et c'est parti ! Une très bonne alternative pour retrouver le son naturel de sa guitare, qu'on vient recolorer avec des pedales d'effets. Sans avoir besoin d'investir dans un Kemper.

Besteld om te kijken wat het zou doen. Dat wat ze zeggen doet het. De ideale oplossing voor in ear spelers. Gitaar insteken, xlr in de mixer en gewoon fender buizen sound hebben zonder het volume erbij.
