the X-Vibe provides the most usable sound shaping for Praise and Worship music in my humble opinion . But it also depends on how contemporary the music you are performing is , then X-Time , X-Drive and X-Space Reverb come into play .
Each of these pedals are priced at $ 329.99 which might seem expensive for one pedal , but it isn ’ t when you consider that you have 16 different effects in each device . All four of the pedals , except the X-Drive , have connectivity for left / right ¼ ” input and outputs , MIDI In & Out , External expression pedal ¼ ”, USB computer connection and 9V power plug in .
Each IK pedal is pre-loaded with 50 factory presets and has slots for 300 of your own creations in each unit . All four of the pedals have a large center mounted LED screen that is easy to read and three-foot true bypass stomp pedals ( A , B , D ) for banking up and down on through their effects .
The aluminum cases for the X-Gear series are Italian designed and built to last . The X-Gear pedals feature low noise 24-bit / 192kHz conversion with 5Hz-24kHz freq response and 123dB of dynamic range . They have an analog dry path built-in to keep the tone warm .
Each X-Gear pedal includes a free copy of AmpliTube 5 SE software . For a limited time , IK Multimedia is offering a virtual version of all four of the X-Gear pedals when you purchase any one of the hardware pedals . For $ 329.99 the X-Gear pedals deliver 16 different sounds per pedal , studio quality sound and you can tweak them to your taste via the pedal or virtual world . “ X ” hits the spot with these cost-effective forward-thinking pedals by IK !
