Another XiTone success story!

I just ordered an Xitone FRFR Active wedge . . . . Got tired of waiting for the Atomic CLR after three months and still no word as when they will be getting in. It is nice to hear that quite a few players that have Played through both prefer the Xitone .

Cleans I tend to go for = An original Black face Fender Princeton or Deluxe, Twin, D13 FTR 37, Morgan AC20, Mostly Fender & Vox, then the Cleaner side of a JTM 45 . . . then a Hiwatt Custom 50 /100. If guitar tone was flavor & food texture, I just want it to be as much like Real...

Of all the comments so far, this one is an explanation that understand. My favorite clean sound on a real amp or Kemper , set the amp to where it is just on the verge of break up or pushed , then hit it with a decent compressor , one that has a blend control as to get the compression and...

To my ears. The Fractal Overdrive , cranked amp sounds seem to be a little less compressed sounding than the Kemper. This is only slightly . I am no ways near rich or even financially stable at times. However, I do not smoke cigs or have any really nasty habits . I am just a working class...

OK < for better or worse here ya go, I am not near the caliber of those who inspired me , but here is my take on some chich'n pick'n stuff. My usual approach to these kinds of cleans are to set an amp just on the verge of break -up / pushed clean then hit it with a Compressor pedal.

For the most part, at 1st. I will probably only use 5 or 6 amps sounds for most of my gigging. Nice to have a 100. But I will never really need that many. I just want the few i use to sound and feel as real as possible through an FRFR cab and in-ears. Kemper comes loaded with a bunch of amp...
