[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 23199, member: 1068"] 1086. I have both a 1086 and an XTC, both with the works from Pete as far as mods. I haven't played a KH-3, so I can't offer an opinion on that one. The 1086 is really versatile. It covers a ton of tones right out of the box and does them really well. You can go from mid gain tones to screaming high gain and all in between. It's low end is tight and focused, which helps it do a lot of tones really well. It also is good for lead work. Some on this board have claimed it doesn't have enough gain, but that is far from my experience. I play heavy/hard rock in my band and I typically run the gain around 1-3:00. More than enough and great clarity. The XTC is really only a lead module for me. I have several other modules that do high gain rhythm work better for my tastes. It is unbeatable for huge , thick lead tones though. The notes are huge and round and just sing beautifully. If it didn't do this so awesomely I would have sold it. I can't bear to let it go though for that very reason. [/QUOTE]
