"For the last 32 years the constant tech support and personal support of John Vrtacic has been a cornerstone to my career. Simply put without him I would not have accomplished some of my highest aspirations. When he designed a guitar splitter for all of us that needed one of coarse he out did himself. Not only does it do the job, you'll find you will use it with everything you plug in, cause it just makes it sound better!!!!---Well done John... Thanks and here's to another 30 years of rockin!!!!----Aloha"

"I've used John's splitter box on a few projects now including the latest AC/DC record and I would not use another splitter box again.

Clear full range sound you can depend on.  Awesome!"

"We use the Vrtacic Design Splitter (JC1A) on every guitar track we record. The great thing about this unit, is that it sounds as if you're plugged straight into your amp rather than "mudding up" the signal with other inferior units. On top of that, when tracking bass guitar, the DI output sounds deep and punchy."

This is a high grade product that includes expensive Lundahl transformer and Alps volume control. It has a ground lift switch to eliminate hum and buzzes from ground loop problems.
This box has a multi-use function but the main one would be to Reamp prerecorded guitar or bass guitar. It has a balanced input and an unbalanced output. The output level can be controlled with the volume control. This will reduce overdrive distortion on the input to the guitar amps if the recorded signal is too high. The Reamp box can be used together with the guitar splitter for Reamping sound from Protools.

Vrtacic Design was commissioned to custom design and build a near field monitor for recRoom Studio and Mastering. At the same time, acoustical improvements were done to the studio control room on the recommendation of John Vrtacic. The studio owners, Ryan Dahle and Jeff Booth, are very pleased with the results and bought the loudspeaker system.

“We are very excited about our new loudspeakers, the sound is real and easy to listen to. We do recording, mixing and mastering using our new speakers. We hardly need to switch to NS 10's. We are very, very pleased!” Ryan and Jeff – recRoom Studio and Mastering
