JDX Direct-Drive Guitar Amp Simulator & DI Box

The JDX Direct-Drive™ is a unique device that simulates the sound of a guitar amplifier while doubling up as a direct box. In other words, with the Direct-Drive on a pedalboard, you can do a gig without carrying an amp to the club or record silently using all of your favorite pedals. The design begins with a ¼” guitar input and passive thru-put to feed a stage amp plus a dedicated tuner output. The signal then passes through a series of filters to create Radial’s signature JDX™ tone. This is modelled after the sound of a Shure SM57™ in front of a Marshall™ 4x12 cabinet. This is augmented with two amp settings that add the character of a Marshall JCM™ head or Fender Twin™ combo to the mix. These can be further tailored using a presence switch to add extra sparkle. The amp tone signal exits the Direct-Drive via a ¼” guitar level output and a balanced XLR to feed the PA. The Direct-Drive may be powered using a standard 9V power supply or any typical pedalboard power brick.
