1.5 Long Tailed Reverb
Most guitar amps will cut off the tail of your reverb when you switch the reverb off. How rude!
The Quad X-Amp handles your reverb more delicately. The reverb on/off switch (footswitch or
front panel) switches only the reverb “send” leaving the tail of the reverb to decay naturally, the
way you do it in the studio. After all, you expect studio performance from a studio grade amp.
1.6 From Rip City to Dead Silence
The problem with most rigs running full sustain is that if you mute the guitar the noise is
deafening. The Quad X-Amp goes from rip city to dead silence the moment you stop playing.
It’s not quite magic but it is our new QuikGate™ integrated noise gate system. Set it once and
leave it. Even if you switch channels or adjust the overdrive, QuikGate™ needs no further
adjustment. QuikGate™ takes it’s direction from the very front end of the preamp but mutes the
back end to eliminate all the noise . . . especially the noise that comes with super high gain
overdrive. A pair of LED’s let you know what’s going on.

1.7 Cloak Your Bottom
No, it doesn’t make the preamp disappear . . . but it does make the bottom range of your guitar
disappear. The Cloaking filter prevents mid-bass buildup in the mix. Use it to shut up the
keyboard player when he says you’re stomping on him.
