Unlike a typical direct box that merely transfers the sound of the pedals to the PA, the Direct-Drive simulates the tone and feel of a real guitar amp, producing a much more realistic sound. In other words, with the Direct-Drive on your pedalboard, you can do a gig without carrying an amp to the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe design begins with a traditional ¼” guitar input and passive thru-put to feed a stage amp. This is then followed by a dedicated tuner output that is buffered in order to eliminate loading on the pickup or noise from the quartz clock. The guitar signal is then passed through a series of carefully sculpted filters to create Radial’s signature JDX tone. This is modeled after the sound of a Shure SM57™ in front of a Marshall™ 4x12 cabinet. The Direct-Drive goes further with two more voicing settings: the first adds a vintage Marshall™ tube head character to the signal path, while the second delivers a tone reminiscent of an early Fender Twin™. The two amp tones can be further tailored using a presence switch for extra sparkle. The guitar signal exits the Direct-Drive via either a ¼” guitar-level output or via a balanced XLR to feed the PA. The direct box output is outfitted with a 180° polarity reverse switch to help phase-align monitors with the stage amp, along with a ground lift switch to help eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. The Direct-Drive may be powered using a standard 9V power supply or typical pedalboard power brick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs with all Radial products, the Direct-Drive is made to handle the rigors of professional touring with 14-gauge steel throughout. This not only helps prevent damage to the internal PCB, but it also reduces susceptibility to noise from external magnetic fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Radial JDX Direct-Drive… one small step on a pedal board, one huge step for the guitarist!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55275594973352,"sku":"18421","price":259.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/0413\/7384\/files\/Direct-Drive-top.png?v=1771456391","url":"https:\/\/www.avbyfp.com\/products\/radial-jdx-direct-drive-amp-simulator-and-di-box","provider":"avBYFP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
