Electric Guitar - Mic and Radial JDX Amp DI
The magic of the Phazer is fully revealed when used with the Radial
JDX amplifi er DI. The JDX connects between your amplifi er's output
and your speaker cabinet. It taps and fi lters the direct sound of your
amp then outputs a balanced mic-level signal to the mixing console.
Combining the JDX with a microphone can produce good results. The
Phazer can take it to the next level by to aligning the direct output of
the JDX with the mic signal, allowing you to dial-in huge sounding
guitar tones in a fl ash. This technique is of particular advantage to
touring bands as it provides a consistent repeatable guitar sound
while reducing phase related problems.
JDX Amp
Direct Box
Bass Guitar in a Live Venue
In a typical stage set up the bass guitar connects to a DI box to feed
the PA system and the bass stage amp. Here's what happens. The
sound from the bass is reproduced almost instantaneously by the
bass-amp and PA speakers, but since the bass-amp is positioned at
the back of the stage, several feet behind the PA speakers, the bass-
amp sound will arrive at the mix position a few milliseconds AFTER
the sound waves from the PA, causing a phase offset.
