Radial
JDX Reactor™– guitar amp & cabinet
direct box
The
best way to get great guitar tone is by mixing
the sound from a mic’d speaker cabinet with
a direct feed. This method assures a repeatable
tone from the amp that is not dependent on variables
such as room acoustics or mic placement. The Radial
JDX connects between the head and cabinet of a
guitar amplifier and feeds the mixing console
like a regular direct box. Inside is a unique
reactive speaker emulation circuit that sounds
amazing!

Phazer™ – class-A variable phase control
Designed to be used with the JDX, the
Phazer allows you to phase align the direct feed
coming from the JDX with the sound of the microphone
so that you can find the sweet-spot. Completely
analogue and 100% discreet class-A throughout
for a full rich tone, the Phazer is a compact
desk-top device that connects via the channel
insert on the mixing console. Great for bass,
keyboards, and guitars; in fact the Phazer is
a ‘must have’ when doubling any instrument
in an acoustical space.

Radial
SW8™ Auto Switcher
When
Queen injected the pre-recorded Bohemian Rhapsody
chorus as part of their stage show, the use of
backing tracks became standard practice. The challenge
is studio recorders were never designed to handle
the rigors of live touring. The Radial SW8 switcher
lets you connect two 8-channel recorders and either
automatically or manually have the system switch
from one to the other should the primary playback
system fail. Multiple units may be linked and
remote warning devices can be wired.

Forest
Audio Q6 - 6 band counter-coil EQ
The first Forest branded product to be released
is the Forest Q6 Counter-Coil EQ. This is a 6
band passive coil equalizer with two 12 position
switches on each channel. These controls allow
the user to create new and exciting EQ curves
to introduce personality to any instrument or
voice. Coil EQs have long been known to provide
a more musical rendering and have been the most
desired form. The problem is that they are both
more costly and difficult to work with. The Forest
Q6 employs a very unique high-gain internally
balanced circuit topology to achieve both low
noise and up to 28dB of gain. Ideal for voice
and instruments of all kinds… Definitely
not your mama’s EQ!
