IK Multimedia X Gear X Vibe Modulation Pedal

The IK Multimedia AmpliTube X-VIBE is a premium stereo modulation pedal that brings your favourite studio-quality chorus, phaser, rotary and more straight to your pedalboard. Powered by state-of-the-art DSP and tightly integrated with AmpliTube 5 software, it lets you design, store and recall stunning modulation sounds in the studio, then take those exact tones onstage with rock-solid reliability.

With 16 high-end algorithms, 50 factory presets and space for up to 300 user presets, X-VIBE covers everything from subtle movement and classic stompbox swirl to deep, experimental textures. A matching virtual X-VIBE pedal for AmpliTube 5 SE (included) means you can fine-tune every detail on your computer, then push those presets to the hardware for a seamless studio-to-stage workflow.

Under the hood, ultra-low noise 24-bit/192 kHz converters, a huge 5 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response and 112 dB of dynamic range keep your signal pristine, whether you are running simple mono setups or complex true stereo rigs. Selectable true or soft bypass lets you decide exactly how X-VIBE sits in your chain, while full MIDI support, tap tempo and BPM sync make it easy to drop into any modern live or studio environment.

Beyond being a world-class modulation pedal, X-VIBE also doubles as a USB audio interface with flexible routing, letting you record wet or dry signals directly into your DAW. With an expression input, high-contrast display, intuitive controls and built-in cabinet IRs for going direct to PA or powered cabs, X-VIBE is designed to handle everything from writing and recording to touring and gigging with ease.

Studio Modulation on Your Pedalboard

X-VIBE uses IK Multimedia’s latest AmpliTube modelling technologies to deliver hyper-realistic emulations of classic and modern modulation effects. From lush chorus and rich phaser to authentic rotary and creative step-based effects, you get studio-grade sound quality in a rugged pedal format that is ready for the road.

Deep Software and Hardware Integration

With the included virtual X-VIBE pedal inside AmpliTube 5 SE, you can design your sounds on a computer using an intuitive graphical interface, then store them as presets on the hardware. The X-GEAR Librarian software makes it easy to move and reorganise presets between X-GEAR pedals and AmpliTube, so your favourite sounds are always exactly where you need them.

Pristine Audio and Flexible Bypass

Ultra-low noise 24-bit/192 kHz converters, a 5 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response and 112 dB of dynamic range ensure that every nuance of your playing is preserved. Selectable true or soft bypass gives you complete control over how the pedal interacts with the rest of your rig, whether you want absolute transparency or smooth, seamless switching.

Built for Recording and Performance

X-VIBE includes a built-in USB audio interface with versatile routing, letting you send wet or dry signals to your DAW and monitor in stereo between pedal and computer. Full MIDI implementation, expression pedal support, tap tempo and BPM sync, plus cabinet impulse responses for direct connection to powered cabs or PA systems, make it a powerful hub for both live and studio setups.
