Device description
The Radial Engineering Reamp JCR is a passive reamplifier that allows you to take a pre-recorded track and send it back to a guitar or bass amplifier for re-recording. The benefits are enormous: instead of worrying about how the track sounds, you can focus your attention on achieving the best musical performance. Once the performance is recorded, you can re-amp the track, even without the guitarist present, by moving mics around the room, trying different amplifiers, or introducing effects. Additionally, you can also re-amp the track later as production progresses.
This reamplifier features the original reamplification circuit designed by John Cuniberti. This is a 100% passive design with John's original transformer and circuit, made in the USA. It also features separate XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors, variable output level, and a 3-position crossover that lets you tame excessive treble, warm up the bass, or simply bypass if you want to return to the original circuit A built-in mute function has also been added to allow you to mute the signal sent to the amps while you are making adjustments or moving mics around the studio.

Connections
XLR input
Balanced input
Connects from your recording system output to the Reamp JCR.
TRS 1/4 input
Connects from your recording workstation and is suitable for lo-Z and hi-Z sources.
Wired in parallel with the XLR input
Output 1/4
Unbalanced instrument level output
Allows you to connect the Reamp JCR to amps and effects.
Transformer isolation to eliminate hum and hum caused by ground loops.
Control buttons
Mute
Mutes the Reamp JCR's 1/4" output to the guitar or bass amplifier.
Level
Allows you to control the signal going from the Reamp JCR to the guitar or bass amplifier.
Adjusts the output level of the reamplification to your amp.
Filtered
Three-position switch used to select the preset EQ filter
Low pass (high cut) adjustment to warm up overly bright amps
High pass (low cut) adjustment to clean up low frequencies.
Flat tuning to bypass filters and return to the original amplifier circuit.
Ground Lift
Disconnects ground from balanced inputs to eliminate hum and hum caused by ground loops.
180 phase reversal
Inverts the electrical polarity of the output to compensate for amps or effects that invert the signal.
