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-Time's pure analog dry path, and its switchable true/soft bypass provides enough control to satisfy top-level players.

X-Time comes with a matching plug-in for AmpliTube, enabling you to open a virtual X-Time 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.
