Radial has announced the next generation of the popular JDX Reactor amplifier DI at NAMM 2015, the JDX Phantom.
The JDX Phantom’s design begins with the same 100% discrete class-A circuitry and transformer-coupled reactive load found on the original. This captures both the sound from the amp head along with the back electromagnetic impulse from the loudspeaker. This signal is then processed via a carefully designed multi-stage filter to emulate the tone of a 4×12 half-stack cabinet when used with guitar, or an 8×10 cabinet when used with bass. The JDX Phantom now also includes a Bass Extension switch for increased bottom end when desired, and a 100w/300w switch to change the input capability.
The ability to use 48 volt phantom, higher power amplifiers, and add a low frequency extension to the voicing makes the new JDX even more versatile than before.
