A5 X-Gear effects questions

[StevenMikel]

Are the effects in the X-Gear pedals basically repackaged versions of the A5 rack and stomp models ? Do the X-Gear models do anything that can't be done with the stomp and rack fx in A5 ?

No
Yes

No
Yes

Can you give me an example or 2 ?

X-time has reverse, duck, pattern, and dirty algorithms among others. You won't find equivalents in AT5 stomp or rack FX.
X-Space has gate, swell and bloom to name a few.
This is not top-secret information. You can check all the available algorithms and their descriptions on the product pages

Also on the product pages:
"This boutique pedal features 16 all-new overdrive and distortion effects leveraging IK’s latest AmpliTube technologies, accompanied by an exclusive virtual X-GEAR version of the exact same effects"

So even algorithms that have an equivalent stomp on AT like the orange (Boss DS-1) or big-fuzz (Big muff-Pi) are new models, and not just a "repackaging" of existing AT5 stomps
