Atomic Reactor 112 Tube Guitar Amp
Most guitar amps are unsuitable for modelers, because they introduce coloration of their own. The Atomic Reactor 112 combines a tube amp and a speaker to correctly amplify your modeling preamp.
The Atomic Reactor 112 is a unique tube amplifier specifically designed by the legendary amp guru, Harry Kolbe, to bring to life the tone created by modeling tools, with all of the organic warmth and power our ears love to hear. Guitarists can now generate the versatile, authentic sounds from dozens of different tube amps and effects and take them live to every gig, rehearsal and jam session. All you need is the Atomic Reactor 112 and your amp modeler, which conveniently mounts right into the amp.
The inspiration behind Atomic Amps and the Reactor 112 was obvious, but no one stepped up to do anything about it.
There's an endless universe of distinctive guitar tones out there, but no guitarist can afford to own the multiple amps and effects needed to produce those tones - and have someone else lug them around! Then came digital amp modeling technology, an innovation that has brought the most coveted tones into headphones and studios everywhere.
But try to take that sound live and the results are compromised...
If you plug a modeler into a tube amp, the amp can't help but color the tone - the modeler is treated as just another effect in the chain. Solid-state amplification is, well, solid-state - tight, compressed and sterile. Going direct into a PA system just doesn't cut it - especially for players who rely on the responsiveness of their amps.
Why is it so tricky to amplify a modeler? Modelers excel in the recording environment and sound great in headphones, too. In these respects, the modeler is intended to be the end of the sonic chain. When you try to extend that chain by adding a conventional amplifier, the live feel is lost. Amplifiers are generally designed to receive a guitar as input, not a modeler - there's a significant difference. The speakers, cabinet and power amp must be optimized for its intended input. So, if you want to use your modeler live, you need an amp designed for that specific purpose.
Atomic Amps set out to solve that dilemma.
The beauty of the Atomic Reactor 112 is in its simplicity. Plug in and turn the amplifier on. No volume knob, EQ or reverb to fuss with - that's all in the modeler! Its all-wood cabinet is lightweight and sturdy, making it easy to transport.
The Atomic Reactor 112 is an amplifier "without an opinion." That's a good thing because it will not color or equalize the signal coming from your modeler. However, it "de-digitizes" the signal to create that coveted analog sound.
Unlike other amps that use modeling front-ends, the Reactor 112 has real presence. The sound transcends the box that generates it. It fills the room as only a well-engineered tube amp can.
Once you dial up your modeled amp and effects, you will hear its true, uncolored reproduction powered by the organic warmth and presence of a tube amp - loud and proud.

Ik vind het wel een grappig ding. Ben benieuwd wanneer de eerste hier in nederland opduiken.
