AMT “Reincarnator” RD-2
23/10/17
The main Reamp-box functions are the transformation of a symmetric (balanced) line-level signal from
the output of the DAW (sound card) into the unbalanced signal being sent to the guitar amp input and a
matching of the DAW (sound card) low output impedance and high-impedance guitar amplifier input.

OW DOES IT WORK
.
As it was said above, AMT RD-2 “Reincarnator” is a passive or active DI-box and ReAmp-box in one
device. The heart of it is a high performance custom wound transformer.
When it is used as a DI-box in the passive mode, the INPUT signal is lessened at approx. 24dB and is
being sent to LINE OUTPUT MIC LEVEL XLR plug, for further putting it into DAW (Sound card) mic
input.
When it is used a Reamp-box in a passive mode, the LINE INPUT signal from a balanced line DAW
output is transmitted to REAMP OUT unbalanced TS socket as it is (practically without an amplitude
loss). Then it is being sent to the guitar amp’s input.
For working in active modes, you have to use an external power supply with a voltage 9-18Vdc.
The greater voltage value is preferable for achieving a wider dynamic range.
In the DI-mode, the input BUFFER can be used and its attenuator lets you regulate the input signal in the
wide range and use input levels in the range from low guitar signals to high power amp signals.
In the Reamp mode, the switch OUTPUT BOOST can be used. It lets you to pass the signal without level
change or with a boost by 6 or 12dB.
