JT Amplification Alpha Direct Box Tube D.I.

One of the most emulated components in digital recording products are tube-based products. Why? Tubes deliver a wonderfully warm signal rich with even harmonics and slight natural compression. The JT Amplificaton Alpha Direct Box has a similar signal path as a musical instrument tube amplifier: An adjustable tube preamp section. A tube output section and a big ol' output transformer

The Alpha Direct Box delivers what you need. Amazing warm tone. The R&D Process: With valuable and appreciated guidance from Producer & Studio Engineer Extraordinaire “Evil” Joe Barresi, the Alpha Direct Box went from a text message, to a hand-drawn schematic, to reality. The Alpha Direct Box is built in limited production runs in Los Angeles, CA.
