Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Radial X-Amp 500 Reamp® module.
The X-Amp is a unique 500 series amplifi er interface designed to allow you to re-amplify a
prerecorded guitar track and send it to two amplifi ers. This ‘old trick’ has been used for years
and is part of the magic that has made some of the most memorable recordings of all time.
But don’t just think of Reamping guitars. With the X-Amp 500, you can Reamp bass, keyboards,
drums and just about any other instrument. Reamping brings consistency to recordings while
eliminating the stress and frustration musicians must endure while engineers work out the
details.
This manual describes installing and operating your X-Amp in the Radial Workhorse or other
500 series module power racks. To take full advantage of the unique features that have been
incorporated into the X-Amp, please read through this manual before using it. This user guide
will give you a broader sense of the module’s capabilities. If you have questions that are not
covered in this manual, please visit the FAQ section on our website. This is where we post
answers to questions from users. If you cannot fi nd the answer to your question please feel
free to send us an email at info@radialeng.com and we will do our very best to respond as
quickly as possible.
The Radial X-Amp 500 module brings the magic of Reamping to the masses.
WARNING NOTICE TO USER!
Although preventative safety measures have been designed into Radial 500 series
products we strictly advise against hot-swapping modules or plugging and
unplugging them when the Workhorse or other 500 series rack is powered on. Hot
swapping can cause connection sparks at the card-edge connector that could send
damaging transients to other equipment. This also greatly reduces the life span of the
contacts. Damage due to hot swapping is not covered under warranty. There are no
user serviceable parts inside.
