Retrospec Juice Box Class A Tube Direct Box

The Juice Box represents a major innovation and a radical departure from the way tubes have been traditionally used in audio equipment. Retrospec’s design uses no audio transformer, eliminating the problems associated with transformer based direct boxes.

The Retrospec Juice Box is a high voltage all tube transformerless direct inject. It boasts an incredibly low noise floor, amazingly wide frequency response, and a super high impedance input resulting in larger than life crystal clear audio.The Juice Box has a no-compromise design, with a fully discrete audio path, robust linear power supply, all through hole circuitry, and manufactured in the USA. The Juice Box is tube buffered, avoiding unwanted loading caused by effects pedals and amplifiers and the balanced xlr output has enough variable gain to supply a line level signal if desired, negating the need for a preamp. It has an unparalleled sound; clear, punchy, and present without any of the harshness or smallness of other direct boxes. The Juice Box excels in the studio for electric and upright bass, keyboards, and any other direct recording duties. In live situations it makes acoustic instruments with pickups shine through monitors and front of house, making thin, clicky acoustic guitars a thing of the past. It’s robust construction can take the wear and tear of repeated studio use and the demands of the road. The Juice Box is a product of classic design that aspires to the highest quality of modern sound and recording, and will become an indispensable tool to your recordings and live performance.
