Introduction
Concept: Gaining a CreativeEdge . . .
Congratulations on your purchase of the Radial JD7 guitar distribution and routing amplifier.
You now own one of the most powerful creative tools ever devised for the professional
guitar player. We are confident that you will quickly go well beyond the scope of this
manual as you develop new and creativewaystousethisdevice!
As you read this, keep one thing in mind: The Radial JD7 Injector was
designed to enhance the creative spirit during the recording process.
Experiment and have fun! Start with simple set-ups and
combinations before you go hog-wild. You will quickly
find that small changes such as reversing the polarity
to one amp versus another will dramatically change
the way your guitar sits in a mix.
As your configurations become more complex, try
different combinations and keep track of what you
liked with the handy scribble page at the back of this
manual. We have found that keeping track of great sounds is
a lot easier if you remember how the equipment was set up and
where the dials were set.
Now go out there and plug in, close your eyes and enjoy!
Introduction:
The Radial JD7 is a guitar signal
distribution amplifier.
optimized to retain the original sound of
the instrument so that the connection is
the same as if the guitar was plugged
directly into the amp. The JD7 is also a
'unity gain' device. This means what
you put in - you get out... only more!
Once the guitar is connected, you may
route the guitar signal to one or as many
of the outputs as desired. A myriad of
signal paths and combinations are
available. For added flexibility,
switchable effect device routing is
available, as is direct-to-record output
for redistribution of the recorded clean
guitar signal to the amplifiers for re-
mixing during the record production
stage.
The JD7 is not limited to electric guitars;
it may also be used with instruments
such as bass, keyboards, acoustic guitars
or any other signal. The operative idea
with the JD7 is to 'expand the creative
process' by taking full advantage of the
equipment you already own.
