How is the XMG then? I take you've now had time to put it through its paces? How would you say it compares to some other modules?

"I am all ears for recommendations on the next Original design."

What I'd like to see is a module that allows you to "blend" at least two tones together. Like a nice clean tone with a slightly overdriven tone. Use one knob as a balance control as to how much you want of either tone. Another example would be like a Mesa tone blended with a Marshall tone. There you go, it's a British/American blend module! 3 position switch on each side to choose Clean, Mid gain, High gain. Then a balance knob to control the blend.
I'll take that, an order of fries and a Diet Coke to go! :D

While the amp stinks, Dean makes their Dime amp and the clean and distorted channels have a feature where you can blend the two. So, out of one speaker, you get clean and out of another speaker, you get distortion. Its a really neat idea and it would be cool as hell if it could get implemented into a module. I'd also love to see a presence knob on the modules that's independent from the master section.

As far as mid-gain goes, I think something in the Bogner Goldfinger/ Buddah Superdrive, Orange (orange cleans) area might sound cool. You could call the mod "The Rainbow" or something cheesy like that.
 
I want a module that sounds like it has been variac'd.. i know i know, impossible. I think that would sound kick *** though.

I really like the blending idea. Is that more of a module or a amp modification?

Back to the topic at hand. We need a demo from a guy wearing only a FIG leaf... :wink:
 
Hopefully I will have my XMG in the next 3-4 weeks, then you get some metal demos :wink:

Of course nothing is more appreciated and funnier than a fig-review

So essentially a module that could go crunch-80's-higher gain

Which would probably be your RR59 :roll: Anyway..
 
Sorry guys, I've sold my power amp and the rest of my recording rig is down at the moment. I think crankyrayhanky will be putting some clips up soon though.
 
I am checking in new orders to start for this coming week today and I think I have about 3-5 of these in line. So the bad news is you might wait a little longer for clips, but they should be coming very soon.
 
There's a small window I have between my work ending and family holiday time. I'll try to get a XMG clip out there :D

Prediction: Hi gain drop tuning riffage :twisted:
 
As soon as mine comes in from Rob; jadedfaithmods.com will feature a great representation of the XMG, fast, articulate, thrash and modern metal.
 
I like that prediction ray! :)

Hopefully I'll get mine around christmas (with a little bit of luck even before) and then I'll make some clips too!

just received; first impressions are lethal...this is one angry mod. How in the world is there no noise? Is there a gate in there? IDK, doesn't feel like a gate, but it has tons of angry tight gain with drop quiet noise floor
 
No gate, its mod magic :D

**** my 3 mod order from Rob will hopefully be here before xmas, thanks for the extra GAS for my XMG,

Although I do offer them, I am not typically a fan of them. I assure you there is no gate anywhere in that beast. Just solid design from the ground up. :wink:

I actually just checked my records and I have only installed 8 gates ever since 2007!
 
That's crazy! I actually did the gate inspection, listening closely at the notes wind down...beautiful. The hi gain gives that feeling like all feedback hell is going to break loose when I stop playing, but then, it is quiet as a mouse :!:
