I've totally enjoyed my XT- I've got the "live" version (pedalboard version) and I have completely fallen in love with it. Very little messing around produces a ton of clean, warm, very useful tones. There are definitely some wacky, whacked-out things too, and you've got to spend HOURS messing with them...... I mean, who really knows what a ring mod thru a flanged delay with a wall of reverb is going to sound like until you actually TRY IT? *btw- bass sick-up.... don't bother with that one*
The tuner's great, if not completely easy to deal with, the expression pedal is very firm and stays put, and it's built like the proverbial..... indestructible outhouse.
I paid like four hundred bux for this thing, and I've not for one second regretted it. Live, in the studio, for rehearsal, it's da bomb.
Drawbacks? Well, the preamp/input stage is a little sensitive to hot electronics, and the unit as a whole dislikes a very quiet bass.
If you crank the input gain, you will get noise. For certain. But you have to have a pretty nasty quiet bass to need to go that far.
