Reamp and mix through your guitar pedals
The EXTC 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 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.
EXTC-SA Applications
- Reamping™ through Pedals
- Take a dry track, send it to the 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.
- Reamping with the EXTC
- The EXTC is well suited for Reamping. Simply connect the pre-recorded channel to the EXTC and then split the signal off to two amps using the send connectors. You are set to go!

Essential for Space Echoes, Boss pedals, etc
I'm amazed at two things about this interface: 1) it completely eliminated all noise from my Roland Space Echo 201 and 2) it gives you heaps of headroom with any pedal you connect it to. Essential if you're using pedals as a send from a mixer or reamping from your DAW --- it opens up so many "lo-fi" of possibilities, but lends a surprisingly professional sound.
