Open the door to explore new musical sounds and ideas.
The Radial X Amp Active Reamplifier presents the engineer/producer/guitarist with an innovative and creative tool that allows a prerecorded track from a line level device to drive 2 guitar amplifiers or effect pedals simultaneously. The X Amp employs a unique Class A circuit design that has been optimized for use with guitars. Using the X Amp is easy: One would, for instance, record a dry track using a high quality direct box, then send this track from the recorder to the X amp and then to either guitar amps, effect pedals or combinations thereof.
Recording using the X Amp has many benefits: once the basic track has been recorded, replacing or adding tracks can be done well after the session player has gone home. This eliminates tiresome repetition and assures a fresh vibrant performance on the final recording. Furthermore, by driving 2 amps at the same time, new sounds and textures can be created allowing the engineer — producer to make artistic decisions as the recording progresses. Features include balanced line level input with LED peak indicator and level control, Class A circuit topology for optimal reach and frequency response, direct and isolated guitar amplifier outputs, 180° polarity reverse to bring both amps into phase, and dual ground lift options for noise free operation.
Built like a tank to provide years of trouble free performance, the Radial X Amp boasts a welded I beam internal skeleton with a separate housing for maximum protection of the circuit board. The outside bookend cover provides a protective zone for the switches, potentiometer, and connectors. A full bottom no slip pad performs double duty by keeping the X Amp from sliding around when placed on a vibrating amplifier while also providing electrical and mechanical isolation.
