The Story
Your pedalboard is packed with amazing sounds, but they're trapped in guitar-only jail. You want to run your drums through that vintage RAT, warm up a synth VST through your favourite chorus, get hands on with vocal delays with your trusty tape echo...
But you're stuck troubleshooting unwanted noise, researching impedance matching, and fighting with levels that clip or disappear. With the RA-100, Franklin Audio have done the signal conversion and gain staging voodoo for you - just plug in and start experimenting.
Key Features:
- Transformer balanced line level input on Neutrik “Combo” TRS/XLR connector (from audio interface)
- Unbalanced, instrument level “send” output on Neutrik TS connector (to effects/pedals)
- Unbalanced, instrument level “return” input on Neutrik TS connector (from effects/pedals)
- Transformer balanced line level output on Neutrik XLR connector (to audio interface line input)
- Input level control to adjust how hard effects are driven
- Adjustable impedance (Z) control to vary the “load” on effect inputs for creative control or for mimicking different pickup varieties
- Output level control with up to 20dB of gain ensures healthy line levels back to the DAW, even when using low output effects
- 9-24V DC power input on standard 2.1mm barrel jack (centre negative). Unit ships with Franklin Audio RA-24V DC power supply which works internationally. Can also run on 9-18V pedal power supplies with reduced headroom (not recommended unless absolutely necessary).
