A guitar amp direct box that captures sound of both the head and the cabinet, delivering consistent tone - show after show. The device works equally well on electric guitar and bass and can be used with 48V phantom power or DC supply. The direct box designed to capture the explosive dynamics and warmth of an electric guitar amplifier. In use, the JDX 48 delivers greater consistency over a typical microphone as irregularities such as mic placement and varying acoustics no longer play the dominant role on stage. The design begins with 100% discrete class-A circuitry and a transformer-coupled 'reactive load' that captures both the sound from the amp head along with the back electromagnetic impulse from the loudspeaker and the signal is then processed via a carefully designed multi-stage filter to emulate the tone of a 4x12 half stack cabinet. The dimensions of the device are 279 x 127 x 63 mm and the weight is 1,13 kg.
