Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 100% discrete Class A circuitry delivers a clean, transparent signal to your amps
- Two transformer-isolated outputs eliminate hum and buzz from ground loops
- Drives up to 50 feet of hi-Z cable, providing flexibility in amp placement
- Front-panel jacks and controls allow quick, convenient access during sessions
👎 Cons
- Requires a 500 Series chassis, which is an additional investment if you don't already own one
- Single-slot module with a focused feature set — it only re-amps, with no DI or other functions
- Limited to two outputs, so routing to more than two amps requires additional units
Frequently Asked Questions
What does re-amping mean and how does the X-Amp 500 facilitate it?
Re-amping is the process of sending a pre-recorded dry guitar signal back out through a physical amplifier and effects to capture a new tone. The X-Amp 500 converts the line-level output from your DAW to the correct high-impedance signal that guitar amps and pedals expect, allowing you to experiment with tones after the initial recording.
Does the X-Amp 500 require a 500 Series rack to operate?
Yes, the X-Amp 500 is a 500 Series format module and must be installed in a compatible 500 Series chassis to receive power and connectivity.
How many amps can I feed simultaneously from the X-Amp 500?
The module has two Class A transformer-isolated outputs, so you can drive two separate guitar amps or signal chains at the same time.
How does the transformer isolation help in a re-amping setup?
The transformer-isolated outputs eliminate ground loops between your recording interface and guitar amplifiers, preventing the hum and buzz that commonly occur when connecting studio equipment to amp inputs.
How long of a cable run can the X-Amp 500 drive?
The X-Amp 500 can drive up to 50 feet of high-impedance cable from each output without significant signal degradation.
