The original — Reamp®

Send a recorded track back through a real amp

Radial owns the Reamp® trademark because the technique started here. Print a clean DI, then re-amp it later through any rig, at any volume, until the tone is exactly right. It is the secret that lives in more records than the credits will ever say.
