No it doesn’t. Just to clarify: the JDX Reactor is a 48v powered line box that sits between the power amp section of a guitar amp and its speaker thus using both the Reactor’s circuitry and the speaker’s own back impulses to produce an authentic direct signal. It is intended to replace the need for a microphone in front of the speaker. It needs the speaker connected in order for it (and the amp) to work properly.
The JDX Direct Drive doesn’t have channels either. It actually replaces an amp entirely and goes at the very end of the chain before connecting to a mixer or other balanced input (say on a powered monitor/speaker). The only controls on it are voicing options to simulate Marshall-like stack or Fender-like combo (my personal preference) as well as a presence boost (as well as the normal features you would find on any decent DI box, ie ground lift and polarity reverse).
