3.4.1 RE-ACT™
Attenuators are usually known for the negative impact they have on your tone in cases of heavy
attenuation, which ismainly due to the fact that the load presented to the amplifier will vary
depending on the attenuation level. On the contrary, the Reactive-Active technology (RE-ACT™)
presents your amplifier with a consistent speaker’s impedance no matter what level of attenuation
you are at, thus preserving the specific character of your amplifier.
With a choice of 4, 8, or 16 Ohms, your amplifier (up to 150W RMS, 200W peak) will actually see real
speaker impedance, and your tone will remain constant throughout the continuous attenuation curve.
The attenuated outputs and the loadbox output can be used at the same time, so you can
simultaneously record the dry output from your amplifier’s speaker output and perform a traditional
miking of your cabinet(s). You can plug or unplug the speaker cabinet anytime without worrying about
its impedance with regards to the amplifier’s speaker output impedance, as the two are totally
independent.
