The
Radial X-Amp is an active re-amping device that presents the engineer
/ producer with a new and innovative creative tool that allows a
pre-recorded track from a line level device to drive two guitar
amplifiers or effect pedals simultaneously. This opens the door
to explore new musical sounds and spur on the creative process.
Following
the critically acclaimed Radial JD7 Injector, 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 two 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, 180º
polarity reverse to bring both amps into phase, and dual ground
lift options for noise-free operation.
As
with all Radial products, the X-Amp is built like a tank to provide
years of trouble-free performance. A welded I-beam internal skeleton
provides a separate housing for maximum protection against external
forces, which may cause stress on the PC board assembly while 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.
