Radial Engineering Pro RMP

Re-amping was something I'd always "got round" before by using various passive devices in line to achieve the same ultimate goal. It was "alright" and not something I used to do a lot of. However, in the last 18 months I've found myself doing more mixing of stuff that other people recorded and when the cab signals don't cut it in the mix If be reaching for that old faithful.

It became obvious that a dedicated reamp box was going to save me a lot of hassle and I could actually have it permanently wired into my pro tools rig rather than building something that just did the job out of attenuators and do boxes etc.

The radial firstly struck me as being really well build. It's tough, lightweight and I can't ever seeing it getting damaged.

I've marked it as "okay" for features as it doesn't really have much to play with but that's kind of the point. I wanted the most basic model so that the signal path is simplest and I have plenty of di boxes etc.

It sounds much better than my old method of doing the same job. I think this is mainly due to not needing to attenuate the output level from my I/o from within the software.
This makes for a much cleaner signal and when testing in real time and doing an a/b test of the guitar coming the amp directly versus it going through the computer and the re amp box I found it arguably similar.

I now use it everyday and I wish I hadn't Put off buying it for so long.

A nice and simple box for reamping. It take a line in feed from your DAW/preamp and converts that to instrument level so it's like plugging straight in to your favourite amp.

No frills, but does a great job. The noise level is very low and the tone is maintained during the step down.

The box is slightly smaller than I'd expected (having used Radial DI's in the past which were housed in a bigger box) but this means it's a little more low profile which I like. The build quality is still the same as you'd expect from a Radial box.

The colour is beautiful, the best looking Radial box I've seen.

Overall, I would say it's a very useful box. If you reamp using a DI box - you're missing out. The tone and noise level are far superior with this unit, and it doesn't break the bank.
