Radial Firefly Tube Direct Box

E-CODE: L756A-

Product Details

The Radial Firefly™ is a high output tube direct box designed for stage and studio. It combines Radial’s award winning zero negative feedback class-A front end with the warmth and character of a 12AX7 tube drive circuit and Radial’s legendary transformer coupled output.

The Firefly features A and B instrument inputs with easy access level controls to accelerate instrument changes on stage. This enables the artist to switch between two different instruments and deliver a consistent signal to the PA system and on-stage amp. Switching can be done via the front panel or with the optional JR2 remote control. This connects to the Firefly using a balanced cable and adds a mute function for quiet on-stage adjustments.

To optimize performance with electric bass, the Firefly is equipped with Drag Control™ load correction that lets you adjust the load on a magnetic pickup so that it ‘feels’ as if connected to a tube amplifier. For ‘fussy’ piezo transducers, Drag can be bypassed to increase the input impedance to 4 meg-ohms to eliminate the squawk and peaks that plague these types of pickups. A fully variable high-pass filter may be dialed in to eliminate low frequency resonance that can cause feedback on stage or muddy sound when recording.
