Detail 01
Balanced +4dB line input, 600 ohms
Plugs straight into a studio interface output at its normal level. No pad, no level matching, no extra converter.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An active reamp box that sends a recorded line-level track back out to a real amp. For studios rebuilding guitar tones after tracking.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-amping DI'd guitar tracks through amps after the take
- Running one recorded track into two amps simultaneously
- Studios chasing tone in the mix instead of at tracking
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a DI — this runs the opposite direction
- Rigs with no spare balanced output from the interface
- Anyone without an amp and mic to capture
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Two 1/4" outputs, second one transformer isolated
Feed two amps off one track. The isolated output breaks the second ground path, so no hum loop between amps.
Detail 03
Continuously variable output level
Set how hard the track hits the amp input. Push it into breakup or back it off without touching DAW faders.
Detail 04
Dynamic range over 100dB
Quiet passages and note tails come back through clean. The round trip doesn't add a noise floor you'll hear.
Detail 05
100% discrete Class-A circuit
No IC op amps in the audio path. Signal is handled by discrete components start to finish.
Detail 06
14-gauge steel shell, 2.6 lb boxed
Heavy enough to stay put on a studio floor and take being stepped on or thrown in a case.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Runs on 15VDC 400mA, center positive — confirm you have that supply
- 02You still need an amp, a mic and a preamp to capture
- 03Needs a free balanced output on your interface to feed it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does a reamp box actually do?
It takes a line-level signal from your interface output and converts it to instrument level and impedance, so an amp or pedal sees it like a guitar.
02Can I run two amps at once?
Yes. There are two 1/4" outputs. The second is transformer isolated, which keeps the two amps from creating a ground loop hum.
03Does it need power?
Yes — 15VDC at 400mA, center positive. It will not run on phantom power or a battery.
04Can I use it as a DI box?
No. A DI takes instrument level to balanced line for the console. This does the reverse, taking balanced line level back to instrument level.
