Some modes are based on legendary guitar pedals like Tube Screamer and DS-1, whereas others deliver a more original sound.
It’s clear that X-DRIVE aims to emulate as many types of distortion as possible, so you’ll want to check it out regardless of your playing style. It can work in various genres, from metal and hard rock to jazz and blues.
X-DRIVE is relatively easy to use. Apart from choosing the distortion algorithm, users can fine-tune the drive amount and adjust the 3-band equalizer. You can also record, create and save presets within AmpliTube and use them onstage if you purchase the hardware X-DRIVE pedal.
