Radial X-Amp Active Re-amplifier
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.
