Fractal Fanatic
This past Friday night I road tripped to the valley to see family and a great friend with a killer studio. He happened to be having band practice and asked me to bring my rig and sit in on a couple of songs. It has been raining and snowing like crazy here in Cali. The foul weather coupled with travel with my wife and all our crap in a Subaru outback meant space was sparse. Having my new light weight Xitone was absolutely awesome.
I walked into the jam with my Ax8 in one hand, the Xitone in the other, and my guitar in a Suhr gig bag. The 2nd trip to the car was only necessary for the ice chest full of beer!
My buddy plays thru an Axe II with a Mesa 20/20 tube amp into 2 Marshall 4x12 cabs, so despite the portability of my rig I was curious if my travel rig could hang in volume in the rehearsal/live scenario? Normally I would have had my CLR MK II for a stereo set up, but space in the Outback prohibited bringing the 2nd unit.
It did in spades!! My buddy and the guys in his band were walking around the powered Xitone monitor saying 'wow, I cannot believe the sound dispersion'! It cut through the mix and I could hear all the punch in the lows as well as the highs with no problem.
So, in short I was very glad to know I can bring the single powered Xitone into even the most high volume settings and be heard plenty well!
