Radial Engineering Guitar Amp DI with speaker emulation and reactive load, phantom powered, designed for realistic amp tone and direct recording, (R800 1402)

The Radial Engineering JDX 48 is a professional guitar amplifier direct box designed to capture the natural sound and feel of a miked guitar cabinet without requiring a microphone or speaker isolation. Built for live performance, recording, and broadcast applications, it delivers consistent, studio-quality amp tone directly to PA systems, mixers, or recording interfaces.

At its core, the JDX 48 uses advanced analog circuitry with built-in cabinet simulation, replicating the response of a properly miked guitar speaker cabinet. This ensures a realistic and musical tone that retains the dynamics and character of the amplifier, making it ideal for silent stage setups and consistent front-of-house sound.

The unit is powered via 48V phantom power, eliminating the need for batteries or external power supplies. Its balanced XLR output provides a clean, low-noise signal with excellent headroom, ensuring reliable performance over long cable runs in professional environments.

Housed in a rugged steel enclosure, the JDX 48 is built for touring durability while maintaining simple, plug-and-play operation for guitarists and engineers.
