Reamp box that will split instrument level signal as well
Reamp box that will split instrument level signal as well
I'm looking for a reamp type box that will also let me split an instrument level signal to two amps with no hum. Any out there besides the JD7?
The X-amp is so close, except it doesn't seem to have an instrument level input.

Exactly what features are you looking for? guitar + linelevel > multi amps, or guitar > multiple amps + line level?Slider wrote:I'm looking for a reamp type box that will also let me split an instrument level signal to two amps with no hum. Any out there besides the JD7?

I use the Little Labs PCP precisely for this. Can split between 3 amps. I love that thing so freakin much. Just an awesome studio tool. And for reamping you can send any 3 line signals to any 3 amps - http://www.littlelabs.com/pcp.html
It has ground lift, phase reverse and a level control, DI, mult, can drive long cable runs. Just a swiss army tool.
There is also a blurb of Jonathan's site about design difference of the JD7 and the PCP (use of stock transformers and a drag control).
New these are more $$$ than the Radial, but I got mine used for $550 i believe. There is one on ebay now for $770, which to me is too high, but includes the rack ears.
In comparing the 2 (not based on sound as I haven't heard a JD7):
-the PCP has more reamp flexibility given the 3 line outs, vs. 1 for JD7
-for tracking the JD7 seems to be more flexible, allowing to switch between 2 guitars, 7 amps, an effects loop, vs. 1 guitar, 3 amps and no effects loops. But in practice, the PCP is still great for tracking, and it made me make choices between the 5-6 amps we have on hand, and 5-6 guitars.

X-amp and direct box?

really cool, although not cheap. Thanks for the tip.
The Redeye is very cool, but you'll need two to drive two amps.Slider wrote:Hey that looks nice! Looking into it further. Thanks
The PCP is awesome.

The X-Amp will drive two amps. Put a direct box in front of it.
Instrument --> Hi-Z --> DI (or preamp with DI)--> Line Level --> X-Amp --> 2 Amps.

JeffFollowing the critically acclaimed Radial JD7 Injector, the X-Amp employs a unique Class-A circuit design that has been optimized for use with guitars. Using the X-Amp is easy: One would, for instance, record a dry track using a high quality direct box, then send this track from the recorder to the X-Amp and then to either guitar amps, effect pedals or combinations thereof.
Recording using the X-Amp has many benefits: Once the basic track has been recorded, replacing or adding tracks can be done well after the session player has gone home. This eliminates tiresome repetition and assures a fresh vibrant performance on the final recording. Furthermore, by driving two amps at the same time, new sounds and textures can be created allowing the engineer - producer to make artistic decisions as the recording progresses.
Features include balanced line level input with LED peak indicator and level control, Class-A circuit topology for optimal reach and frequency response, direct and isolated guitar amplifier outputs, 180? polarity reverse to bring both amps into phase, and dual ground lift options for noise-free operation.
As with all Radial products, the X-Amp is built like a tank to provide years of trouble-free performance. A welded I-beam internal skeleton provides a separate housing for maximum protection against external forces, which may cause stress on the PC board assembly while the outside bookend cover provides a protective zone for the switches, potentiometer and connectors. A full bottom no-slip pad performs double duty by keeping the X-Amp from sliding around when placed on a vibrating amplifier while also providing electrical and mechanical isolation.

100% Class-A signal path
Two outputs to drive two amps
