The Radial EXTC SA Effects Reamper is a powerful studio tool designed to seamlessly integrate guitar pedals and stompbox effects into professional recording, mixing, and reamping workflows.
By properly matching impedance and level between balanced line-level gear and unbalanced instrument-level effects, the EXTC SA lets you use your favorite pedals on vocals, drums, synths, guitars, bass, and full mixes—without noise, distortion, or tonal compromise. It’s the perfect bridge between the studio and the pedalboard. Built with Radial’s renowned engineering and sonic transparency, the EXTC SA features a Class-A reamp circuit feeding pedals at the correct level, followed by a high-headroom balanced return path back into your DAW or console. A variable wet/dry mix control enables true parallel processing, while send and receive level controls allow precise gain staging. Transformer isolation and ground-lift options ensure hum-free operation, making the EXTC SA a must-have creative tool for modern hybrid studios.

Radial EXTC SA Effects Reamper Applications
- Reamping through Pedals - Take a dry track, send it to the Radial EXTC SA which in turn feeds your pedals. This is the perfect way to add some extra zest to a vocal track; an envelope follower to a kick; or some wah to that Hammond.
- Reamping with the EXTC - The Radial EXTC SA is well suited for Reamping. Simply connect the pre-recorded channel to the Radial EXTC SA and then split the signal off to two amps using the send connectors. You are set to go!

Excellent product / tool
May 5th 2016When I decided to replace the rack mounted effects units in my rig with high quality analog pedals last year I ran into a problem. This Radial interface solved that problem in spades. - The EXTC-SA works as a reverse DI box to feed a low impedance line level signal into a device that requires a high impedance input signal. In addition to matching the required impedance load, the interface provides a gain level control to tune signal strength and maximize the results. - The options provided have been overkill for how I've been using this device. But after 8 months of use I'm getting around to being able to use the signal loop function. - Radial Engineering makes great high-quality products. They're completely reliable because they're built like a tank and can take a ton of abuse.
