Atomic Amplifiers - Reactor 112

Digital amp modelers like the Line 6 POD®, Behringer VAMP®, and the VOX Tonelab ® truly represent some of the most amazing technological achievements in the guitar universe. The idea is brilliant – simply analyze the waveforms of the most popular guitar tones, amps, cabinets, and effects and then throw them all into a small electronic box where you can access these tones with an easy turn of the dial. If that is not enough, you can infinitely tweak those tones by changing any of dozens of parameters. It is without question that digital modelers sound outstanding in a recording mix or through headphones. However, even with the best modelers, it seems that the authenticity and dynamic feel is lost when you plug these devices into an amplifier or a PA system for a live sound application. Fortunately, Tom King, the founder of Atomic Amplifiers enlisted Harry Kolbe (recognized as one of the world’s legendary amp gurus) to solve this problem. Out of Harry’s lab came the first “transparent” amplifier designed specifically to harness the power of today’s digital technology. The result was the Atomic Reactor 112!
