but if the signal strength needs to be boosted because passive-passive can be a bit below were you need, then you end up boosting elsewhere and that also could add to the noise floor. 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.
