DACCAPO : Cheapest reamp box around, and just as good as the others

9 years ago

The heading says it all really. The famous names in reamping charge 2 or 3 times as much for their boxes, and they're really no better.

The level control has a decent range on it, there's a +4/-10 switch, and a ground lift. What more do you need? It's tiny, really well built, and bright yellow (which is surprisingly useful in a dark studio).

I've run white noise through it and null tested the before and after signals - there's a very slight loss of high end, but no more than you'd expect running audio through a transformer, and no more than other reamp boxes.

All-in-all, a great product. If you record electric guitar/bass, you should have one of these in your tool kit.
