Radial X-Amp Active Reamping Device
Item: RKR8001028
The Radial X-Amp is an active re-amper that allows a track from a multi-track recorder to be played through a guitar amplifier(s) and re-recorded. Players and engineers can experiment with different combinations of amps and effect pedals long after the original performance has been recorded to build the thickest and chunkiest guitar tracks.
The X-Amp handles level and impedance conversion with an active Class-A circuit which reproduces all the tones and inflections of the original performance. X-Amp drives guitar amps as if the player was still plugged into it! X-Amp accepts a balanced +4dB line-level signal and outputs two unbalanced instrument level signals that can connect to effect pedals and amps. To prevent ground loops between the recorder and the amps, the input features a ground lift. X-Amp allows simultaneous use of two amps. The second amp output is buffered to prevent signal loss, transformer-isolated to eliminate hum caused by ground loops and features a polarity reverse to align out-of-phase amps. The output level control and clip LED aid in setting levels quickly and saves you many trips back and forth between the mixer and amps. Finally, the X-Amp is packaged in an innovative and tough 14 gauge steel welded I-beam enclosure that makes it impossible to torque the PC board.
Re-amping with X-Amp is fun and allows engineers to perfect guitar tracks with options not possible during a typical fast ’n furious tracking session. The X-Amp makes the re-amping process easy and its ultra-high audio quality yields excellent results.
