RA-10 User Guide v1.0

A fully passive, transformer-balanced re-amplifier with adjustable output level and our signature Variable Impedance (Z) control.

Seamlessly integrate with your studio set up on desktop, guitar amps or pedal boards. Designed to fit naturally with existing set-ups.

Use the passive level control to colour your signal by overdriving your gear or free up new headroom at lower levels.

The Franklin signature "Z" control lets you tweak the impedance of your audio to creatively alter the behaviour of pedals and amps.

What the Pros say

"I choose the RA-10 over any of the options laying around the studio."

Joel Hamilton

Tom Waits, Bonobo, Hans Zimmer

“Reamping my guitar pedals used to be a fun but lofi option. With the RA-10, my collection of guitar pedals feels as useful and hifi as my very expensive analogue and digital studio effects, opening up a world of possibilities. I don't know how it works so well, every time, but it just does!”

Simon Berkelman

Passenger, Courtney Barnett, Boy & Bear

FAQs

What is re-amping?

In short, re-amping lets you plug the signal from your interface or mixer into effects pedals and guitar amps, all while maintaining the correct levels and impedances ensure your equipment sounds its best.

What is the 'Z' control?

The ‘Z’ or Impedance control adjusts the output impedance of the RA-10 so you can creatively mess with how your pedals and amps react to the signal.

What does the ground lift switch do?

The ground lift switch disconnects pin 1 of the XLR connector from the ground. If you have a hum or buzz that is caused by a ground loop this will get rid of it!

When should I use the polarity invert switch?

Believe it or not, not all pedals and amps maintain the polarity of the incoming signal. If you’re re-amping a sound and blending it back in with the original dry sound it always pays to hit the invert switch and check which combination you prefer!

What transformer is in the RA-10?

The FA-01 is a custom made transformer we worked tirelessly with a factory to devise. It sounds perfectly clean under normal circumstances, but also sounds amazing when pushed hard! We’re proud to say our transformers technical specifications stack up against and even outperform the most recognisable transformer brands in the world.

Does the RA-10 accept balanced and unbalanced signals?

Absolutely! The RA-10 accepts balanced signals on both the XLR and jack parts of the combo connector. For unbalanced signals we recommend using a TS cable into the ¼” jack.
