The Radial Engineering X-Amp 500 is a 500 series module that allows you to take a pre-recorded guitar track and route it back through amplifiers and effects, giving you the flexibility to shape the sound as needed. Reamping offers numerous benefits: during recording, the guitarist can focus solely on the performance, while decisions about tone and mic placement can be made later. This saves time by avoiding repetitive takes and gives the producer the freedom to refine the track’s character as the production progresses.

Radial Engineering X-Amp 500 Reamper

The Radial Engineering X-Amp 500 is designed for effortless ‘plug and play’ use. It starts with an XLR balanced line-level input on the rear panel of the 500 series rack, feeding directly into the X-Amp.

To ensure top-notch audio quality, it uses 100% discrete class-A circuitry. The Radial Engineering X-Amp 500 unbalances and buffers the pre-recorded signal, then sends it to two transformer-isolated hi-Z guitar level outputs.

These ¼” jacks are conveniently front-mounted for easy access and feature ground lifts to eliminate hum or buzz from ground loops. Independent level controls allow you to adjust the drive sent to each amp for optimal tone, and if one of the amps is out of phase, the 180º switch quickly aligns them.

Applications

Recording a Dry Track with the X-Amp Plug your guitar into the Omniport on the Workhorse rack, feed guitar amps with the front panel ¼” outputs and send the dry guitar signal from the XLR output connector on the back of the Workhorse into your favourite DAW for future Reamping!
Reamping with the X-Amp Send the prerecorded clean (dry) track to the X-Amp using the XLR input on your 500 series rack. Feed the signal from Out-1 and Out-2 to your guitar amps. Mic them and record!
Using the X-Amp as a Distro Connect your guitar to the Omniport on the Workhorse. The guitar signal can then be sent to two amplifiers using out-1 and out-2 up to 15 meters (50 feet) away; adjust the volume to suit.
