The World’s Best Reactive Load Box
Universal Audio’s engineers designed the OX Amp Top Box to act as an authentic speaker substitute, maintaining the tone, dynamics, and feel of your tube amp even when fully attenuated. Thanks to its continuously variable impedance and response, your amp “sees” the OX as a real speaker, ensuring zero loss of tone or playing dynamics.
A Complete Guitar Recording System
Forget complex mic setups — the OX Amp Top Box delivers studio-grade cabinet, mic, and room sounds at the turn of a dial. The front-panel six-position RIG control lets you instantly switch between expertly designed setups featuring close-miked cabinets, ambient room mics, and up to four studio effects. No mics? No problem.
Revolutionary Dynamic Speaker Modeling
Unlike static Impulse Response (IR) systems, OX’s Dynamic Speaker Modeling faithfully captures the organic response of a speaker under real-world conditions. Using the Speaker Breakup knob, you can dial in the subtle harmonics and sonic complexity of true speaker breakup, giving you the real feel of a cranked amp.
Seamless Connectivity for Recording & Performance
The OX Amp Top Box is equipped with a wide range of connections for both studio and live applications:
- Front-panel headphone jack – Practice at full amp power without disturbing others.
- Stereo S/PDIF & Optical TOSLINK outputs – High-fidelity digital connections for DAWs and studio monitors.
- Balanced TRS stereo line outputs – Connect to a mixing console or audio interface.
- Footswitch compatibility – Use a standard one, two, or three-button footswitch to toggle OX’s effects.
Intuitive Software Control
Unlike other guitar products with clunky digital interfaces, the OX Amp Top Box software offers a sleek, intuitive experience. Via Wi-Fi, you can tweak, save, and recall hundreds of presets on your iPad, Mac, or Windows 10 computer. Assign your six favorite tones to the front-panel RIG knob for instant access in the studio or on stage.
