The PIPER X30 is a 30 watt two channel tube amplifier that embodies the best of the best in regards to components and construction.  The circuit is “True Point-to-Point”.  No circuit boards or turret boards are used.  The tone signal truly follows the component path “Point-to-Point”.  The XITS 5-Part Aluminum Chassis is milled one at a time and is vented to allow maximum air-flow.

GLOBAL CUT CONTROL
The Cut Control attenuates high frequencies in the power section for both channels.  High frequencies are reduced, or cut, as the control is rotated clockwise.
 
MAINS
The standard mains configuration is for 120 VAC – 60Hz.  All XITS products can be set up for international voltages.
 
EFFECTS LOOP
All XITS amplifiers can be manufactured with either a passive or active (XLOOP) effects loop for an additional charge.
 
CABINET
All cabinets in the PIPER Series are constructed with box-jointed solid hard maple surrounds and walnut bracing.  The PIPER Series Cabinets are tuned for maximum resonance which enhances the feel and sensitivity of the amplifier.
 
Chilewich Woven Vinyl is “welded” to the cabinet shell to provide unmatched scuff and abrasion resistance.  Welding the Woven Vinyl to the cabinet allows the tone producing properties of the cabinet to stay intact yet offer the durability of a covered cabinet.
