Radial Engineering J48 Active 48V Phantom Powered Direct Box

Great direct box -- highly recommended.

The Radial J48 is my go-to direct box for studio work and live performance. It sounds exactly as it should, and it is bullet-proof reliable. It is great using phantom power and not worrying about batteries!

As a bass player I never use the low cut, but the ground lift has been a lifesaver a couple of times, and the pad works as expected with no change to the sound quality. I even had one time where the phase button came in very handy in a coffee house where the house speakers were out of phase, and their mixer didn't have a phase button. I was about to go back to my car and retrieve an XLR cable that swaps pin 2 and 3, but then I noticed the 180 degree button on the J48, and it solved the problem of my bass amp being out of phase with the house speakers.Read full review

Headroom!

Even mediocre acoustic guitars with piezo pickups sound good with one of these. I have four and will be buying more as I can afford it. Bass. Keyboards. All sound great. Tons of headroom. Clean. Quiet. Requires phantom power.Read full review

Radial J48 DI

This DI truly reproduces the full spectrum of audio. Clean and Clear. My Acoustic sounds richer, and my bass guitar is punchy and full. Definitely Recommend !!!! Keith

Great direct box

I've only used it a few times, but it takes a great direct signal from guitar or bass guitar. I have used it a few times, and later when re-amping that original recorded signal, it sounds great.

Excelent stuff

Small, pure and quality device. If you need to reciord a direct guitar for later re-amping, then this is what you need.
