The Reactor JDX 48 is a direct box designed to capture the explosive dynamics and the heat of an amplifier for electric guitar connecting it between the headboard and the cabinet. This produces a sound that is similar to a well-placed microphone eliminating frustrating inconsistencies. The design starts with 100% discrete circuits in class A and a transformer coupled 'reactive load' that captures the sound from the amplifier head together with the pulse electromagnetic from the loudspeaker. This produces a render more realistic than the usual resistive pad offered by other manufacturers. The signal then comes processed through a multistage filter accurately designed to emulate the sound of a 4x12 "cabinet use, the JDX 48 offers greater consistency than a typical microphone as irregularities such as positioning of the microphone and changes in the acoustics no longer play a dominant role on stage. This is most appreciated when you are they use in-ear monitors, since the sound remains consistent from one sho...
