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\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 modelled 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\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, it also reduces susceptibility to noise from external magnetic fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Radial JDX Direct-Drive... one small step on a pedal board, one huge step for the guitarist!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The companies mentioned above are not related to Radial and are only referenced in order to give the reader a sense of the type of tone the Direct-Drive will produce at the various voicing settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radial Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44430864613469,"sku":"930101001699","price":394.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/jdxdirectdrive-top.png?v=1778345385","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/radial-tonebone-jdx-direct-drive-amp-simulator-di","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
