I can’t think of a better company to continue the Reamp brand. The only thing wrong with it is that it is missing one of the rubber feet as you can see in the. Because I already had an ongoing patent agreement with Peter Janis, president of Radial, I felt comfortable approaching him with the sale idea. This is an original, pre-Radial John Cuniberti REAMP box.

Unfortunately, however, the rising cost of manufacturing in the US forced me to decide whether to lower the build quality of the Reamp or find a company that could both maintain the quality and at the same time expand its customer base. “This ‘no compromise in quality’ commitment continued for seventeen years with only a few modifications along the way. “When I built my first Reamp in 1994, I insisted on using the very best components available”, said John Cuniberti, owner of the Reamp. Financial terms were not disclosed.Īs part of the agreement, Radial will market a Reamp similar in design to the V2 called the JCR reamper. Oakland, CA – Janu– Recording engineer John Cuniberti announced today that he had signed an agreement to sell his Reamp patent, trademark, and all business assets to Radial Engineering Ltd, a leading manufacturer of products used by audio professionals and musicians around the world. The Reamp® trademark has become synonymous with the process of re-amplifying and is used frequently when describing the process itself. The demand-driven mostly by word of mouth continued to grow, with 2010 being its biggest and last sales year. A huge user list of famous engineers, producers, and musicians adds integrity to the Reamp® brand name. With pressure from fellow engineers who wanted their own Reamp, I decided to get into the manufacturing of Reamps.įor seve nteen years, over 3000 Reamps were sold by me in the United States and overseas. After a few days of experimenting with off-the-shelf transformers and a simple circuit design, the first Reamp was born. I made some phone calls to audio dealers looking for an interface to handle the conversion and discovered none existed. The problem was the output of the tape recorder was not compatible with the input of the guitar amplifier. I wanted to feed a guitar amplifier with a pre-recorded guitar track from a 2” Studer tape recorder.

In 1993, out of necessity, I designed and built an interface box to solve a problem I was having in the studio. The Little Red Box that Started a Revolution
