Description

A complete guitar recording system
With the RIG knob on the front of OX you can select one of six programs (rig) in a flash. A rig consists of a modeled speaker cabinet, near-field and room microphones and up to four studio effects that can be used simultaneously. OX is the only guitar recording system to offer a comprehensive selection of professionally placed room mics, giving you the authentic feeling of playing with your amp cranked up in a real studio recording room.
Dynamic Speaker Modeling
UA's groundbreaking Dynamic Speaker Modeling technology faithfully emulates speaker clipping and resonance—a key ingredient in organic tube amp tones. With the use of the Speaker Breakup slider in the OX app, you control the overtone structure and sound complexity that only occurs at certain frequencies or volumes. In contrast to a system with static impulse responses, you achieve identical sound phenomena as with a real amp cabinet.
A wonderful software app
Most guitar products work digitally unwieldy. They're ugly and hard to understand. The OX software app, on the other hand, offers elegant, intuitive control of all OX RIG settings over WiFi - allowing you to tweak, store and recall hundreds of presets from your iPad, Mac or Windows 10 computer. You can then save your six favorite sounds to the RIG knob on the front of the OX for instant recall in the studio or at a gig.
All the right connections
OX Amp Top Box has one. In addition to the headphone jack on the front, which allows silent practice with a fully cranked tube amplifier, OX offers a variety of connections for a wide variety of recording and live workflows. S/PDIF cinch and optical TOSLINK digital stereo outputs, as well as balanced TRS stereo line outputs with line out control on the front panel, provide you with all the necessary connections for studio monitor boxes, DAWs or the inputs of live mixers.

OX Amp Top Box is a premium reactive load box, allowing guitarists to play and record
their tube amp in its ideal sweet spots - from the edge- of-breakup to fully cranked - at any volume level, and with instant album-quality mic, room, and speaker cabinet
emulations at the turn of a knob.

Featuring Universal Audio's breakthrough Dynamic Speaker Modeling, OX emulates
speaker breakup and cone cry like no other box on the market. It's the world's finest
boutique speaker attenuator and guitar amp recording solution - overbuilt for years of
home and studio use.

Most advanced reactive load box on earth, period !

emmanuel d. 13.05.2020

I had a journey with reactive load boxes trying to tame the 'loud' of high-watt amps, using the Rivera Rock Crusher, excellent and sturdy load box, with some limitations in recording capabilities, the Two Notes Torpedo Captor, excellent if you need only one impedance and compact design (choice of 4, 8, or 16 Ohms), and now the universal and effectively premium UA OX Amp Top Box with WiFi connection to a computer or iPad to monitor the settings.
It is indeed the best on earth at its price.

Pioneering audio recording for more than 60 years. Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has been synonymous with innovative recording products since its inception. A favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and more, the late Bill Putnam Sr. was a passionate innovator who is widely regarded as the father of modern recording — with many of his legendary studio and equipment designs still in use today. Specifically, Putnam was the inventor of the modern recording console, the multi-band audio equalizer, and the vocal booth, and he was the first engineer to use artificial reverberation in commercial recording. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Putnam was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording. Putnam, a natural entrepreneur, started three audio product companies during his long career: Universal Audio, Studio Electronics, and UREI. All three companies built equipment that remains widely used decades after their introduction, including the ubiquitous LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and the 610 tube recording console. The 610 console in particular stands as one of the most beloved designs in audio history, used to record everyone from Sinatra to the Beach Boys to Van Halen’s eponymous debut.
