USING THE X-AMP WITH VOICE
Often times voices can be too clean and lack that ‘seasoned’ rough edge.
By driving a voice track through the X-Amp into a distortion pedal like
the Radial Tonebone Classic or through an overdriven amplifier, one can
introduce some great vocal effects. Double the clean track with distorted
track and then mix them to suit. A subtle extra edge is often all that is
needed to warm up a stale track.

OUT-2 GROUNDING OPTIONS
A second ground lift is provided for ISOLATED OUT-2. This switch is
located inside the X-Amp and is accessed using a small screwdriver
through a hole on the side panel. By factory default it is set to ‘lifted’ (inward
position) allowing the transformer to isolate the signal ground between your
recording system and your second amp. Setting the switch to ‘grounded’
(outward position) will bypass the transformer isolation.
In some situations it could be advantageous to connect the ground to your
second amplifier. If you encounter noise and have tried lifting the input
ground, try toggling the OUT-2 LIFT switch and use the setting that works
best.
GROUND LIFT OUT-2: Use a small screwdriver to access
the ground lift switch for OUT-2. Set inward to lift the
ground (factory default) or outward to connect ground.
