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 Radial X-Amp employs a unique Class-A circuit design that has been optimized for use with guitars. Using the Radial 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 Radial X-Amp and then to either guitar amps, effect pedals, or combinations thereof. Recording using the Radial 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.
