Article extracts in English

"With the IK Multimedia Amplitube X-GEAR series, the Italian manufacturer is now entering the pedal business and is presenting four pedals, each dedicated to one of the effects categories: overdrive, modulation, delay and reverb. Amplitube X-GEAR X-DRIVE, the candidate for distortion sounds, is our guest today."

Conclusion (4.5/5)

"The IK Multimedia Amplitube X-GEAR X-DRIVE is a distortion pedal that offers a lot of overdrive, distortion, boost and fuzz sounds. The whole thing comes with good sound quality. The sounds respond very well to the touch dynamics and the settings of the volume potentiometer on the guitar.

"If you have the following requirements: varied and storable sounds, MIDI, extensive setting options, integrated noise gate, compressor and cab simulation for emergencies, you should definitely test the X-DRIVE. The price is absolutely justified due to the equipment and possibilities."
