![]() The difference you will find between them, apart for the obvious level differences, is that the J84 will have a higher noise floor and will better preserve the high frequencies. It's going to work just fine if you go either route. Along with the J48 I also have a JDI (I have many more DI's but those are the two that see the most work). That's the classic Radial setup and what I have. I also think it has less output compared to the JCR (maxed.) I have confirmed neither suspicion with measurement though. Choose the X-Amp for a more neutral "solid state" sound and the JCR for the more transformer colored tone: If you are looking for an alternative to the JCR or DAV, I think the Radial X-Amp is it. ![]() I would reject for the same reason I would reject the Radial EXTC 500.Good alternative on a budget but personally I am glad I splurged on the JCRs instead. ProRMP costs half as much but does not sound nearly as good in the video.Minimal Hi-Z runs reduce the interference/noise and signal degradation. In many cases I just have the reamp box on the amp with a 6" unbalance cable going in. I want the shortest unbalanced Hi-Z runs - long balanced Lo-Z runs are just fine. Radial EXTC 500 - May be nice for using stompboxes as inserts but I would not use this for guitars and amps.Turns out, good transformers are pretty expensive. I presume that is because they use a better transformer. I thought the JCR sounded better than the RMP in the the video you linked. It's hard to really comment on other reampers though because I have not used them extensively side by side as I have the DAV and JCR. For DAV, you will (probably) need to order directly from the maker in the UK. I am in the US Radial gear is widely available new and used. That said, I have never had an issue with either Radial or DAV gear. ![]() If you need something you could drive your car over, get the JCR. I do that stuff on the mic pre or ITB so I really don't need them. Personally, I think the DAV sounds a little better but the JCR has more controls so… if you like having level/filter/phase/mute on the reamper the choice is obvious. Anything else I should be looking at in that ~$300-400 price range? I was also looking at the Little Labs Redeye 3D combo box that appears to do it all for about $100 less.Īny suggestions, recommendations? I know the Radial stuff is tried and true, but Little Labs has a good reputation too. I was thinking of going with the Radial DI and reamp boxes, are they still kind of the standard? I was looking at the passive Jensen-equipped JDI and the passive JCR - is there any reason to go 48V active over passive for this application? I would also like to be able to play those DI tracks back out and experiment with different amps and mic placement after the session. I would like to be able to record both DI and mic'd amp tracks at the same time so that I can leave myself options for future amp modelling or reamping of the DI tracks. ![]() Right now I can either mic my amps or go direct into a mic preamp but not both. Hello, I'm looking to add some DI & reamping capabilities to my home recording rig. ![]()
