Q: What is the difference between the Radial X-Amp and ProRMP?
A: The X-Amp is active while the ProRMP is passive. This means that the X-Amp employs an internal amplifier called a Class-A buffer to drive the output to one or more amps and provide a more accurate rendition o the original tone. This also allows you to control the volume without the tone changing. Passive re-ampers like the ProRMP and the Reamp™ are passive and therefore a bit more finicky but serve the same purpose.

Q: What is the difference between the Reamp™ and the ProRMP?
A: The ProRMP is essentially the same as the Reamp™. It has a specially designed transformer on the inside that does the impedance transfer and a volume control to set the desired level. Both sound great! Because we produce large quantities, the ProRMP is slightly more affordable.

Q: What difference is there, if any, between using the JDI or ProDI
in reverse for re-amping versus using the ProRMP?
A: The ProRMP is equipped with a +4dB balanced line-level input designed to accept a signal from a mixing console or recorder while the JDI or ProDI wants to 'see' a -60dB mic level input so that the transformer will not be saturated. If you are careful, you can use a DI backwards... the ProRMP is designed to be easier to use.

Q: What is the best DI to use when re-amping?
A: This is truly a matter of taste and budget. Most folks generally prefer and active direct box like the Radial J48 for re-amping as this provides a good clean audiophile qualiy signal to the recorder. The better the source, the better the outcome!

Q: Can I split the signal from the ProRMP to drive more than one amp?
A: You could but you may run into ground loops. The radial X-Amp is equipped with two outputs on of which is transformer isolated from the other to eliminate this problem. For top end users, the Radial JD7 Injector has 6 amp outputs that are isolated from each other that allows you to drive 6 amps at the same time.

Q: Do engineers record vocals and drums by re-amping?
A: Yes! More and more, engineers are beginning to introduce effect pedals like the Radial Tonebone Classic distortion onto voice tracks to thicken them up and create new and exciting effects. Do not follow tradition! re-amping is a process of discovery.
