The Radial JDX Direct-Drive is a unique and powerful device that emulates the sound of a guitar amplifier while doubling as a direct box. 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.

Key Features

• Guitar amp simulator for pedalboards
• Eliminates need to bring an amp to the gig
• 4 x 12 half-stack & open back combo tones
• Employs Radial’s popular JDX tone shaping
