sounds and spur on the creative process. 

Like all Radial products, this ‘creative tool’ is made using 

the very finest components and care to ensure the very 

highest quality sound possible. And like any tool, the

the functions, the intent behind the design and of course 

some of the safety features and instructions that have

manual before operating your X-Amp. 

We  are  confident  you  will  find  the  Radial  X-Amp  to  be
