The Radial Engineering X-Amp is a unique box that allows for easy re-amping. If you're unfamiliar, re-amping is the process of sending a pre-recorded track to an amplifier and re-recording the new signal from the amplifier. This is a great technique which can come in quite handy if you need to add some new life to your already recorded guitar track, but can't or don't want to redo the part entirely. As far as the make up of this box goes, it has an XLR input, and 1/4" connections for two outputs - both isolated and direct. The unit also has a level knob, a polarity button, and a ground lift button. It isn't in rack mountable form...
UTILIZATION
Setting up and using the Radial Engineering X-Amp is a pretty easy thing to do overall. Nothing about making the connections is hard, but if you have no experience with things of this nature I'd recommend having the manual around. There aren't too many parameters that you need to know about, but the polarity and ground lift definitely come in handy more often than not. I love using the X-Amp because it makes re-amping that much easier...
SOUND QUALITY
The Radial Engineering X-Amp is made up of all class A circuits and won't color your sound in anyway. This doesn't really make any tones of its own, but simply transports the sound of your original track to your amplifier without having to make any crazy connections. It emits your signal clearly and cleanly, making sure that you aren't losing any information along the way at all.
OVERALL OPINION
While most home studio owners probably don't do too much re-amping, if you feel like it is something that you might want to do, or a professional who already does it a good deal, the Radial Engineering X-Amp will definitely be a friend of yours. Re-amping is a great technique and is also one that can often be tricky if you don't have the right set up for it. X-Amp eliminates any worries with making these connections, and while not the cheapest box out there, with the Radial Engineering name on it, you know you're getting a product that is built to last for a long time. X-Amp is definitely the way to go for all your re-amping needs.
