Radial Engineering Headload Prodigy Combination Load Box and DI 8 Ohm

Headload prodigy combination load box and di 8 ohm. Like the larger headload, the prodigy employs custom-made, cement-encrusted, ceramic-coated resister coils to convert the excessive power from the amplifier to heat and is able to comfortably withstand up to 100-watts rms. the prodigy may be used in three different ways, depending on the need first, it may be used as a direct box via the built-in radial JDX reactor. The hugely popular JDX combines a reactive load with a proprietary filter bank to emulate the tone of a 4 x 12 half stack. This features 100 percent discrete class-a circuitry for optimal tone and transformer isolation to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. Designed to replace a microphone, the JDX delivers greater consistency while eliminating concerns such as stage resonance, bleed from other instruments and problematic room acoustics which can play havoc on the tone. Second, the prodigy may be used as a load box where you can attenuate the output from 100 percent down to 50 percent or to 25 percent to drive your amp harder while keeping the volume down to a comfortable level. Finally, the prodigy can be used without a speaker cabinet for completely silent recording. This is particularly useful in small venues where the speaker cabinet on stage may conflict with the sound in the room. It is also great for silent recording where you want to take advantage of high power amp distortion without upsetting the neighbors. In order to optimize the playing experience for in-ear monitors, a dual-band EQ lets you optimize bass and treble settings. Two additional 1 by 4 outputs enhance connectivity: the first is direct from the amp while the second is POST-EQ- POST-JDX. These are used to feed additional amplifiers or effects and adjusted using the front panel-level control. A second-level control is used to adjust the built-in headphone amplifier for silent practicing. Housed in 14-gauge steel to help keep magnetic radiation at bay, the headload prodigy features a handy carry.
