The Radial X-Amp™ is an active Reamper™ that allows the engineer to play
a pre-recorded track back through guitar amplifiers and pedals. This
opens the door to explore new musical sounds and spur on the creative
process so that your recording stands out.
Active Reamp® with two outputs
100% discrete class-A signal path
Transformer isolated to eliminate noise
LED peak indicator and level control
Reamp for professionals
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. Features include balanced line
level input with LED peak indicator and level control, class-A circuit
topology for optimal reach and frequency response, a transformer
isolated output to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops, a 180°
polarity reverse switch to bring both amps into phase, and a dual
ground lift switch for noise-free operation.
X-Amp Applications
Reamping Step-1
To Reamp, start by recording a dry track
using a Radial J48 and splitting the signal. Record the wet track using a
mic so that the guitarist can hear it. Send him to the beach!
Reamping Step-2
Send the dry track back to the guitar amps
and pedals using the X-Amp. Adjust the tone and move the mics around
till it sounds right. You can always come back and Reamp later.
Reamping – Not just for guitars!
Try sending a vocal track into a Marshall®
amp or a Tonebone Classic-V9™ to add tube warmth and grit. Take it a
step further by sending your kick drum to a wah pedal. There are no
limits!
