What Does a Chorus Pedal Do?


Loaded with state-of-the-art AmpliTube DSP





Like all of IK's X-Gear stompboxes, X-Vibe packs the company's acclaimed AmpliTube processing into a cutting-edge, pedalboard-ready enclosure. X-Vibe offers 16 hyper-realistic emulations of real-world modulation devices, putting an array of tried-and-true chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, rotary, and doubling effects conveniently at your feet. Beyond that, this pedal's X-Mode supplies you with extra signal-boosting features that are guaranteed to impress.





Top-of-the-line hardware with audiophile-grade specs





IK Multimedia went all in with regard to the quality of X-Vibe's hardware. The stompbox's audiophile-grade components include ultra-low-noise, 24-bit/192kHz conversion for leading-edge sound, plus a 5Hz-24kHz frequency response ? more than enough to capture your guitar's full sonic range. You also get an impressive 123dB of dynamic range, ensuring that every nuance of your playing is reproduced, from whisper quiet to maximum overdrive. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate X-Vibe's pure analog dry path, and its switchable true/soft bypass provides enough control to satisfy top-level players.





Mega-tight integration with AmpliTube software





X-Vibe comes with a matching plug-in for AmpliTube, enabling you to open a virtual X-Vibe stomp inside of the software. Thanks to this mega-tight hardware-software integration, you'll be able to tweak your hardware's parameters using AmpliTube's award-winning workflow, then save them as one of up to 300 presets that you can recall directly from the pedal.
