Warm Audio WA-RA – All-Analog Re-Amping and Routing Hub

The WA-RA Reamper is Warm Audio's all-analog signal conversion hub for the studio, built to push dry DI tracks back out to amps and pedals and to record loud tube amps in near silence.

Key Features

• Independent preamp and re-amp paths: Reamp a dry DI track and capture a fresh DI in the same pass, with no repatching.
• CineMag USA transformers: A custom transformer in each signal path keeps tone and impedance behaving like a real instrument feed.
• Variable input impedance (120 kΩ to 1 MΩ): Dial in the right load for passive guitars, active pickups, pedals or line sources.
• Switchable JFET / Op-Amp input stage: Choose a warmer JFET character or a cleaner Op-Amp gain structure per track.
• Built-in 50 W power soak: Record a cranked 8 Ω tube amp silently, with no cabinet in the room.
• Per-channel polarity and ground-lift switches: Kill hum, buzz and phase problems when tying rigs and the DAW together.

Customer Benefits

The WA-RA turns re-amping from a cable-juggling chore into a single hub on your desk. Send a clean DI back through your favourite amp or pedalboard, commit a tone, then change your mind tomorrow without re-tracking the performance. The power soak lets you chase real tube saturation at any hour, and the dual paths mean you can reamp and re-capture at once.

What's in the Box

• Warm Audio WA-RA Reamper
• IEC mains power cable
• User manual and documentation

Ideal For

Re-amping dry guitar and bass DIs, silent tube-amp recording, and routing line and instrument signals between your DAW, pedals and outboard.

Compatibility

Works with passive and active instruments, keyboards, pedals and line-level sources, and connects to amps, mixers and interfaces over balanced XLR or 6.35 mm jacks. The built-in power soak handles tube amps up to 50 W into 8 Ω.

Pros & Cons

✅ Pros:

• Two independent paths reamp and re-capture in a single pass
• Built-in 50 W power soak for silent tube-amp tracking
• CineMag transformers and variable impedance preserve real instrument tone

⚠️ Cons:

• 50 W soak ceiling, so it is not suited to high-wattage 100 W heads
• More routing depth than a one-knob reamp box, so there is a short learning curve

From committing a reamped tone to tracking a screaming amp in a quiet room, the Warm Audio WA-RA brings analog re-amping and routing into one box.
