    Incoming NGD: My holy grail is on its way to me!

    I didn't mean to imply that I would only play those styles on it. I play whatever strikes my fancy from whatever era. My point was that I'm not really a metal fan. I tend to favor more traditional applications of the guitar. I like clean with some breakup and a bit of reverb. If I want any...

    If it’s clear then why are so many people asking about it? The problem with the first post is that everyone thinks the message is for the other guy, not them. They think, “Surely that doesn’t apply to me. I’m a power user. That’s for some other dumb ass.”

    Is a Gibson Custom Shop '64 SG Standard, USED, 2022 worth $4k?

    I think it depends on the sales dude. Some just don’t look beyond a single sale and don’t invest in a long term business relationship. I think if you’ve been giving that much business over that many years that it might be a good idea to remind them of the amount of biz you’ve given them...

    Please don't spread misinformation. The term "stock amp" was meant to indicate the OEM amp XiTone uses not the amp Parts-Express sells on their web site. The amp in your picture is the amp that they sell to the public. It is the one that I bought to replace the defective OEM amp. It isn’t...

    Thanks. I could share them but, if you have the stock amp that XiTone puts in you won't be able to apply them. This is because the stock amp doesn't have a standard USB port to which to connect a computer using Dayton Audio's Windows amp to change them. From what I can tell the stock amp has...

    If your wedge has the Dayton Audio Plate amp you can replace the amp with a new one from Dayton Audio for $349. It’s really pretty easy to do.

    Xitone active wedge vs EV PXM12-MP

    I have the XiTone input 1 knob set in the middle at 5. I might be all wet but I believe that 5 is the 0db setting. With the knob set to 0 would be -5db with the knob set to 10 being the +5db setting. The DSP is set to flat.
