IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-GEAR X-VIBE - Digital Modulation Pedal

IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-GEAR X-VIBE – Stereo Modulation Pedal with 16 Algorithms, USB and MIDI Interface

AmpliTube X-VIBE is the X-GEAR series modulation pedal designed to bring your studio sound to the stage with the same fidelity. It incorporates 16 high-end algorithms (chorus, phaser, flanger, rotary, tremolo, step-slicer and step-filter, among others) and an X-MODE mode that opens up hypermodulation options. Its hardware employs 24-bit/192 kHz converters , a 5 Hz–24 kHz response and 112 dB of dynamic range to keep your signal clean and detailed, with selectable true or soft bypass . It is true stereo (L/R inputs/outputs) and adds a USB audio interface to record wet/dry directly to the DAW, as well as MIDI In/Out and an expression/footswitch input. Includes the virtual version of X-VIBE for AmpliTube 5 (with AmpliTube 5 SE ), plus the Librarian to manage up to 300 presets on the pedal. Made in Italy, with anodized aluminum chassis for touring.
