Just got two XiTone GRFR active cabs to use with my Fractal Axe FX III. I would greatly appreciate other owners responding to the following questions. I've emailed a lot with the XiTone owner, Mick, he seems like a good guy and over all, with only two days of testing, they are superior to my 4 year old, previous generation, Atomic Active cabs.
1. There is literally nothing anywhere on either cab that shows that they were made by XiTone, the model, the date of manufacture, or a serial number. I've asked Mick about this and can't seem to get a straight answer. I've purchased at least $50,000 worth of high end gear in the last four years. And not a single piece of gear I've ever purchased did not have at minimum the name of the company that made it, the model, and often the date of manufacture and a serial number. Did your XiTone cabs have any of the above information printed anywhere on the cab?
2. I mostly use rock or metal presets When I do, as soon as the guitar is live, there is terrible and instant squealing feedback from both cabs. I've tried all the DSP settings and mic and line input. Doesn't make any difference. Do your cabs do this? It's very annoying. Mick, the XiTone owner does not seem to know why this is happening.
3. How would anyone here who owns XiTone cabs and how as ALSO OWNED other cabs by Atomic or another FRFR cab manufacturer compare the XiTone GRFR cab to the other cabs by other manufacturers?
Thanks!
David
