Advanced tone processors like the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx can faithfully recreate the sounds of the greatest guitar amplifiers and effects of all time. This may be ideal for recording, but studio monitors (and high-end PA speakers) can fall short of recreating the visceral experience of playing through a real guitar amp on stage (or in your bedroom for that matter). Enter the Reactor Series…
The Reactor Series products deliver the performance of a full-range flat-response system in a format that also brings the qualities that guitarists have sought since before the dawn of rock 'n roll—punch, power, and presence. The sound quality is outstanding—wide, smooth and accurate—with performance one would typically expect only from a much more powerful and expensive systems.
While the Reactor Series was designed with guitar amplification in mind, it is also ideal for a broad range of other musical instruments and applications: acoustic, keyboard, bass, vocals, looping tracks and more.
The Reactor FR Cabinet is available in ACTIVE and PASSIVE configurations. The active cab has a 50W power section with one 12AX7 and two EL-6L6GC vacuum tubes to deliver full-rated power over a full frequency response, with high headroom and very low distortion. Both the active and the passive versions employ a high efficiency speaker system with a ported 12-ply marine grade birch plywood cabinet, a 12" speaker, a 1" tweeter/4" horn, and a crossover network.
PASSIVE CAB (NO AMP): $349
ACTIVE CAB (50W):
$799
The Reactor FR Wedge is available ACTIVE and PASSIVE configurations. The Active Wedge has a 50W power section with one 12AX7 and two EL-6L6GC vacuum tubes to deliver full-rated power over a full frequency response, with high headroom and very low distortion. Both the Active and the passive versions employ a high efficiency speaker system with a ported 12-ply marine grade birch plywood cabinet, a 12" speaker, a 1" tweeter/4" horn, and a crossover network.
PASSIVE WEDGE (NO AMP): $399
ACTIVE WEDGE (50W): $849
The Reactor FR Mono Block 50W Power Amp is a tiny dynamo, weighing in at only 12lbs. Driven by one 12AX7 and two EL-6L6GC vacuum tubes, it delivers full-rated power over a full frequency response with high headroom and very low distortion. The Mono Block has all of the same features and connectors as the power sections of the Powered models and is an ideal match for our passive cab or wedge or the guitar cab of your choice. Don't let its small size fool you... this amp offers a giant sound.
POWER AMP (50W): $499
