You quickly lose track of where you are in the algorithm.
It is relatively easy with the X-Space it is much more strenuous here because many algorithms take up several pages.
The X-TIME also has hidden parameters that can be controlled with the left rotary knob. They are only available by turning the whole pedal into a different mode, and only then they appear on the Time knob. Especially for setting up sub-divisions, here is a very cumbersome, intuitive workflow. The middle footswitch also activates the unique X-Mode, and the right one allows tap tempo for creating tempo-synced repeats. Different LEDs show you in which operating mode you currently are: preset active, preset edited, or bank browsing. Otherwise, you will overlook the majority of the built-in presets. Don’t forget to explore this functionality. You can navigate through the sound banks A + B together is bank down and B + C bank up. They switch the effect on/off in a traditional way or serve as a control instance for the preset manager. X-TIME has three multi-functional footswitches. Then, the five pots set the main parameters: time, feedback, filter, mod, and mix. The three encoders have an additional function, one initiates the preset storage process, one is for algorithms + back function, and the latter manages the sub-menu. The user interface is identical to the X-SPACE pedal: 5 potentiometers, three endless rotary encoders, three switches, and an easy-to-read classic display form the design of the UI. Logical, the AmpliTube can process mono to stereo and all stereo signals. Thus, no MIDI adapters are required, and there is also a socket for an expression pedal or footswitch. Here you can find two 6.3mm inputs and two outputs, a MIDI interface with in/out with classic sockets. Thumbs up for the included power supply in the box.Īll connections are located on the back of the pedal. Once unpacked, you discover the pedal, a matching 9V positive supply, and a card with a serial number that is important not to lose. The pedal comes in a lovely light green cardboard box. Of course, with Synthesizer and electronic sounds. All with state-of-the-art DSP power and packed with modern features.Īfter the X-SPACE stereo pedal, I also looked at the X-TIME, the stereo delay pendant, over the past few weeks.ĭisclaimer: IK Multimedia sent over an X-TIME, the digital delay for doing an in-depth review. A distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb. In mid-2021, the Italian company IK Multimedia launched the X-Gear range, its first-ever hardware effect pedals.
