Radial ReAmp JCR Studio ReAmper John Cuniberty Circuit
The Radial Reamp JCR is a standalone passive reamper that sends a pre-recorded track from your recording system through a guitar or bass amp, or an effects pedal chain. It uses John Cuniberti's original Reamp circuit with a custom-wound transformer.
Connections and controls
- XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs; 1/4-inch unbalanced output.
- Variable output level to match the signal feeding your amp or pedals.
- Three-position filter with high-pass, low-pass and bypass choices.
- Mute, polarity reverse and ground-lift functions for setting up your recording chain.
- Passive, transformer-isolated circuit with no power supply required.
How the JCR fits your recording setup
First record a dry track using a separate DI box or a suitable audio-interface input. Send that recorded track from an interface output to the JCR, then connect its output to your amp or pedal chain. You can adjust amp settings, effects and microphone placement while replaying the same performance.
The JCR does not include an active DI or a J48 recording stage and does not require 48V phantom power. It is the standalone reamping device, rather than the combined DI and reamper called the Reamp Station.
