The Radial X-Amp is an active, 100% discrete, Class-A re-amplifying device that converts low-impedance, balanced line-level signals into a high-impedance, guitar-level signal to drive guitar amplifiers or effect pedals.

The Radial X-Amp features two independent outputs: one is direct-coupled, and the other is transformer-isolated and features a polarity reverse to “phase match” the two amplifiers. This allows two amplifiers with different ground reference voltages to be used in tandem without introducing dreaded ground loops. To further ensure clean signal operation, a choice of input and output ground lifting is offered. To make sure the appropriate signal level reaches the guitar amplifier, an overload LED on the front control panel is included, along with an output level control to the amplifier.

The Radial X-Amp may also be used to extend guitar cables when used in conjunction with the Radial JDI, J48 or JDV direct boxes.

The Radial X-Amp is housed in a 14-gauge, I-Beam steel frame with a book-end cover and baked-enamel finish. For more permanent installations, the X-Amp may be rackmounted using the Radial J-Rak rack shelf.
