Radial EXTC-Stereo Guitar Effects Interface and Reamp Box

For those looking for outside-the-box ways to utilize effect pedals in recording, the Radial EXTC-Stereo Guitar Effects Interface & Reamp Box drops in to breathe new life into the studio process. Widening the spectrum of sounds possible out of your interface and equipment, this little box of magic takes effects to places never-before-seen for exciting new musical formulas.

The Radial EXTC-Stereo is not an effect pedal itself, however, it works alongside them to introduce new angles from which to view the pedal experience. Designed to take the line level balanced output from a recording device elsewhere, the EXTC-Stereo converts said output into an instrument-level high-Z output optimized for effect pedals. What this all means is that the balanced output from a recording interface can be fed through a pedalboard (or any variety of effect) and back into itself upon recording. For example, with the EXTC-Stereo can feed a recording of an acoustic piano through an effect unit, effectively bringing the magic of effect pedals to unamplified instruments. This particular model specializes in stereo effects, so your best stereo reverbs and delays have a spot lovingly reserved for them among your best recordings.

The EXTC-Stereo can be used in many different ways. This orange box of mojo can reamp a recording through one or two amplifiers, route mono pedals simultaneously or help in recording direct from a pedalboard. Further controls on the EXTC include a Blend control for balancing the wet and dry mix between the output of your pedals and original dry audio tracks, a phase inverter for compensate for effect pedals wired out of phase and an on/off loop switch to bypass the unbalanced EFX loop – allowing for easy A/B comparison of your effects in real time.

Accessing exciting, new angles from which to view the effect and recording experience, this piece from Radial offers customization on new fronts for musical discoveries.
