Startup sound setups.
X100M is a head engineered to give the widest flexibility of the sound. We developed
circuital solution completely different from usual, so a period of training ( specially on eq
knobs) is necessary to reach the best results. In this section we report some start-point
setups. Furthermore, we have developed two hardware setups, based on different final
tubes:
X100M Classic
: four selected E34L, a new interpretation of the british sound, with a
proud and aggressive soul, at the same time round and elegant. Dedicated to vintage
sound lovers.
X100M Modern
: 4 X E34L or 4 X 6L6, two deeply different versions: strong and
heavy the first, round and elegant the second. For players who need a modern, versatile,
ultra-dynamic and ultra-defined amplifier.
A brief channel description
Clean
: dedicated to clean sound, it's equipped with a brite switch to refresh high
frequencies. Drive and volume controls are inter-dependt and they can be set in order to
obtain different sounds: drive high and volume low for a "full and strong" sound, drive low
and volume high for "crystal brilliance" results. At high levels and with an external booster,
it's easy to have a very impressive crunch.
Crunch
: channel for mean overdriven sounds, available in two versions: Crunch and
Boosted Crunch. Crunch starts from clean gradually dirty up to reach a rhythm rock sound
full and dynamic. Acting on the guitar volume, it's possible to have a wide variety of
degrees of crunch. Boosted crunch is similar to the former but is more useful for modern
sounds, both for rhythm and solo parts, with very high gain, dynamics and transparency.
Lead
: modern high gain channel, great headroom with rich armonics, perfect for solo
parts. Very reactive to the pick, with a solid and fully controlled response to low
frequencies, it gives a "liquid" and sustained sound.
