Part 6 – Other cool uses for your JDI
Use the Radial JDI to re-amplify your signal!
Today, a popular studio effect is to record a signal such as guitar, voice or keyboard on a track and then play the pre-recorded
track back through a guitar amplier or effect pedal. This effect is known as reamping or re-amplifying. It was started by Les
Paul in the 1950's and was widely used on recordings by the Beatles in the 60's, and by Steely Dan in the 1970's.
The Radial JDI can be used ‘backwards’ to convert a low-impedance mic level signal back to a high-impedance guitar signal.
Simply connect the output from the recorder to a mixer and the mixer's output to the JDI's XLR output using a female-to-
female XLR turn-around adaptor. Keep your level down to ensure the signal will not overload the JDI's transformer. Connect
the ‘input’ of the JDI to the input of the guitar amplier and you are set to go!
