Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box Reactive Loadbox + Attenuator

Descrizione

Team it up with the Universal Audio OX-Amp Top Box and get the very best out of your valve amplifier - no matter the volume settings. Besides serving as a reactive load box, the OX-Amp is a highly efficient attenuator. Link your guitar amp to the dedicated Amplifier Output before opting to use this Top Box to reduce the amplifier output and gain the same sweet saturation while bringing things down to a more sociable level. Set it up as your personal reactive load and this Universal Audio designed widget can be used to capture and record the full, unfettered sound of your guitar amplifier in absolute silence. Simple plug in your headphones and send the sound of your amp directly to your DAW. In reactive load mode, the signal path from the amplifier to a speaker cabinet is simulated, and from there, you can select a built-in speaker and microphone combo preset to customise the virtual setup.

The Best Vintage Sound & Modern Tech

The OX-Amp Top Box basically sets you up with the best of two worlds: the authentic sound of your own amplifier pushed all the way into overdrive, and the technology that makes it possible to capture its sweet-spot in full. To record, just connect the Line Output of the OX Amp with the line-level input of your audio interface, and you're set up. Until now, getting that much-loved 'edge-of-breakup' sound out of your amplifier and guitar was a headache, but thanks to the Dynamic Speaker Modeling tech wrapped up inside this magic box, it's actually easy. With it, you can even simulate the details, like the speaker driver and even the 'cone cry'!

A Studio Stacked with Vintage Cabinets & Microphones

Thanks to the stack of twenty-two state-of-the-art speaker cabinet and microphone combinations that come built in, every imaginable sound can be called up and matched with your amp. The impulse responses on offer vary from vintage to modern and sound exactly like they should: dynamic and natural. What's really impressive is the feel while playing through the setup - since it gives you the full and spacious experience of playing through a cab set up in a live room. Via the Room Mics, the room sound can even be mixed in to give the direct sound of your amplifier a more realistic character.

iOS App Support & Studio-Quality Effects

Via the partnered iOS app you gain access to every available speaker and microphone configuration, alongside a massive library of Universal Audio's own renowned audio effects, including the 1176 studio compressor and stereo plate reverb - all provided to help produce album-ready recordings. The app boasts a slick and intuitive overview that's navigated with ease, but to really get the best out of the Top Box, it's worth having a good WiFi connection and an iPad to hand. In the app, you also get to browse through a list of 125 'Rigs' and directly assign six of them to the Rig pot fitted on the front panel of the box. Every preset is made up of a selection of microphones, each carefully placed in front of a high-quality, simulated speaker cabinet. Basically, the OX-Amp Top Box is an all-in-one solve when it comes to recording a valve amplifier without having to mess around with cabinets.
