The Radial EXTC 500 is a guitar effects interface designed for use inside the Radial Workhorse and other API compatible rack 500 series systems. It features a balanced line level input with variable guitar level send & receive controls for hi-impedance guitar effects. Transformer isolation combined with class-A discreet electronics assures optimal signal transfer. This makes the EXTC the perfect interface for all kinds of effects that otherwise are difficult to use, cause noise or create unbearable hum.
Reamp and mix through your guitar pedals
The EXTC-500 is a 500 series module that allows you to get creative with your effects pedals, using them in your mix on any recorded track. Add a touch of distortion or chorus to a lead vocal, flange on a violin, or fuzz on piano - the possibilities are endless. The EXTC-500 takes the line level balanced output of your recording interface and converts it so an instrument level high-Z output optimized for guitar effects pedals, so you can Reamp any track through your pedalboard with ease. Once you've run the signal through your pedals, connect the output back into the EXTC and it will boost it up to a balanced line level so you can connect directly to the input of your recording interface. The EXTC features Radial's class-A buffer for the best audio quality and transformer isolation to eliminate any buzz or hum - so you can focus your attention on using your pedals in new and exciting applications.
Radial Engineering EXTC 500 Series Guitar Interface
Reamping through Pedals
- Take a dry track, send it to the Radial EXTC 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.
Adding Growl to a Vocal
- Plug your mic into the Radial PowerPre and send the signal into the Radial EXTC. From there, you add an effect like a Radial Tonebone Trimode using the blend control to mix in just the right amount of distortion.
Recording Direct
- Plug your guitar or bass into the JDVPre and have it feed the Radial EXTC where you can send the signal through your pedals. Then bring the signal back through the Radial JDX to emulate a speaker cabinet.
