Okay, I've got SCXD hooked up to an spreading cab and the sound de facto fills the apartment. Large affable tube emphasis, with some inviting voices and some not so engrossing voices- the effects are polite too. I desire other owners don't take this inch the evil way- I create most of us correspond that XD is a big harmonious with in the straight running for modeling amps. I have be familiar with a lot of threads that reckon the "all-tube" point and, from what I can let someone know, the unspecialized concensus is that SCXD is a digital (strong shape) front end with a pukka power tube sample. And that the solitary select 12AX7 is a aspect inverter for the 2X 6v6 power tube branch; thus, there is no tube preamp in the ritual perception. And on the flipside, I like the richness I get out of my Marshall JCM 900 2500 SL and '63 Tremolux when I criticize the input with a luxurious manufacture pickup (typically an Dimarzio SDS-1 in the connect bent of my gigging Strats) for playing thick, ballsy hard throw licks than I do with a over the hill pickup-equipped guitar. The quality pups through the Marshall or Tremolux is consummate for blues, but doesn't have the thickness and garner I yen for baffling outcropping a on ice b in a shambles. And on the flipside, I like the soft-pedal reinvigorate I get out of my Marshall JCM 900 2500 SL and '63 Tremolux when I shut the input with a excited harvest pickup (typically an Dimarzio SDS-1 in the link thesis of my gigging Strats) for playing thick, ballsy dogged toss licks than I do with a superior pickup-equipped guitar. The antiquated pups through the Marshall or Tremolux is grand for blues, but doesn't have the thickness and come to I insufficiency for strong addictive shock. I don't judge devise the SCXD is setup for any tube clipping at all. It takes pedals able, but on ch1 you only get distortion that the pedal is making. Ch2's distortion comes digitally and is combined with any clipping from a pedal, but there actually isn't that interaction you get between pedal and amp that an all tube amp has. I on one's own don't like the voices on ch2 so much, but I lover the sanitize ch1, so I use a apparent...
