Warm Audio WA-RA Reamper

The Warm Audio WA-RA Reamper is a powerful all-analogue routing hub that lets your guitars, pedals, synths and studio gear all talk to each other. Re-amp dry DAW tracks through real valve amps, integrate pedals into line-level studio chains, or capture cranked amp tones silently via the built-in 50W power soak. Whether you are tracking, re-amping or sound designing, WA-RA keeps everything connected and under control.

At its heart, WA-RA is a dual-channel active instrument preamp and re-amp device with completely independent signal paths. That means you can confidently track with your favourite amp for feel and inspiration while simultaneously recording a clean safety track to re-amp later. With variable input impedance, CineMag transformer isolation and ultra-low-noise circuitry, it delivers studio-grade sonics while handling instrument, line and speaker-level signals with ease.

WA-RA is just as comfortable in a hybrid guitar and studio rig as it is in a modern production setup. Use it to send DAW tracks into amps and pedals, drop studio compressors and reverbs into your guitar chain, or feed synths and drum machines into stompboxes. With balanced XLR and 1/4" connections, phase invert and ground lift per channel, it slots straight into professional workflows and keeps noise and hum at bay.

For players and producers working at home or in shared spaces, the integrated 50W / 8 ohm power soak is a game changer. You can drive your amp hard, capturing the sound of both the preamp and power stage, without connecting a speaker. Simply monitor through your interface and headphones while enjoying fully cranked tones at truly silent levels.

Independent Preamp and Re-Amp Signal Paths

WA-RA gives you separate instrument preamp and re-amp paths so you can track a miked amp and a dry DI at the same time. This lets you commit to a sound for vibe and performance while keeping a clean safety track that can be re-amped or processed with amp sims later in the mix. It is ideal for sessions where flexibility and recall are essential.

Built-In 50W Power Soak for Silent Tube Amp Recording

With its integrated 50W / 8 ohm power soak, WA-RA lets you capture the sound of a driven valve amp without a connected speaker. You can record the full character of the pre and power amp stages at any time of day, monitoring via your audio interface and headphones. It is perfect for home studios and late-night tracking where loud cabs are not an option.

Creative Hub for Amps, Pedals, Synths and Studio Gear

WA-RA is designed to make guitar and studio worlds blend seamlessly. Use it to send DAW tracks into amps and pedals, patch stompboxes into vocal chains or drum busses, or place line-level rack effects directly into your guitar signal path. Whether you are adding delays and reverbs to synths or running guitars through studio compressors and EQs, WA-RA keeps levels and impedance correctly matched for clean, musical results.

Studio-Grade Components and Flexible Connectivity

Featuring custom USA-made CineMag transformers on each signal path, fully active ultra-low-noise circuitry and an internal universal power supply, WA-RA is built to professional studio standards. Variable input impedance, switchable JFET discrete or JFET op-amp input stages, balanced XLR and 1/4" I/O, plus phase invert and ground lift on each channel give you precise control over tone, headroom and noise in any setup.

• Re-amp DAW Tracks Through Real Amps and Pedals - Send dry guitar or line-level tracks from your DAW back into your favourite valve amps and stompboxes. This lets you fine-tune tone after the performance, experimenting with gain, EQ and effects without asking the player to re-track.
• Silent Tube Amp Recording with 50W Power Soak - Use the dedicated speaker input and built-in 50W / 8 ohm power soak to capture the sound of a cranked amp without connecting a speaker. Ideal for home and project studios where loud cabinets are impractical, while still preserving the feel of a pushed power stage.
• Integrate Guitar Pedals into Studio Signal Chains - Seamlessly drop unbalanced guitar pedals into balanced, line-level studio paths. Add character delays, reverbs, tremolos or ring modulators to vocals, drums and synths while WA-RA handles level and impedance matching for clean, controlled results.
• Add Line-Level Studio FX to Guitar Chains - Place compressors, EQs and rack reverbs directly into your guitar recording or re-amping chain. WA-RA makes it easy to bring full studio processing to your guitar tones, letting you sculpt sounds at the source rather than relying solely on mix-stage plug-ins.
