Xotic Effects X-Blender Guitar Effect Pedal NEW! Free 2-Day Delivery! AUTHORIZED DEALER! Simply put the X-Blender improves your tone. It clarifies your existing effects so that they sound the way they were meant to sound.For years, we have been frustrated to hear the signal deterioration when playing through a chain of effects. Because of the narrow dynamic range and multiple filtering, these effects greatly disturbed the directness and trueness of the guitar signal.Pro-audio mixers standardized "Aux send/return" function to help solve this problem. This preserved the integrity of the guitar's signal and dynamics by feeding the effect with the signal separate from the main signal.The X-Blender incorporates pro-audio engineering technology to solve the sonic imperfection some effects produce and was designed to be completely transparent. You'll be amazed by the clarity of the sound!The X-Blender is a unique tool for the modern guitar / bass player. It's a switch-able series-parallel loop unit. A parallel effects loop allows you to mix or blend the effects with a dry signal (unaffected signal), creating a far more complex tone from your guitar.Features* Volume adjusts the main output only when the blend switch is activated. As the above diagram shows, the volume affects both the direct and effect signal. * Boost Switch will give +6dB of volume boost. This function will only work when the blend switch is on. * Treble / Bass controls treble and bass of the effect signal. This two band EQ is activated when the blend switch is turned on. * Phase Inv. Switch This function can be used with vintage type wah or vintage type booster effect. These devices have output signal that are normally out of phase, without phase correction the signals could not be combined properly with the DRY signal.Specs* Input impedance: 1M ohm * Output impedance: 1K ohm * Current Draw 20mA * AC Adaptor Jack (DC 9 V) * Width 117 mm (4.62 inches) * Depth 93 mm (3.65 inches) * Height 50 mm (2 inches) * Weight 0.39kg (0.86 lbs.)
