New to me pedal day!! I didn't get this for the signature or limited run...just the wicked tones that I heard in demos. Will see how it works when I get home. If it's anything like my Soul Driven and BB preamp, I'll be more than happy!

Does that have dip switches to tailor tone?

Does that have dip switches to tailor tone? No...I don't think so. And the only downside is the RC pushes the AC when both on...you can't reverse the order. Kind of a bummer in that regard but I can always put my BB behind it for a boost.

Awesome pedal, probably my favorite out of the Xotic lot. I was surprised at how much gain the AC side has. Unfortunately, you can't dethrone the King!!!

I spent a short time with the new stomp last night...sounds great! I like the RC side better than the stock RC I had. It's got a little more grit with the gain knob. The AC is great too! I has more gain than the stock yellow box as well. Juicing it with the RC yields some nice fat tones. Decent amount of midrange to cut through. If I turn my BB on, which is just after the AC/RC then it gets swamped with a heavy dose of mids...not sure how that will work in a live setting. I may just use the BB separately as a slightly different flavor. Of the three Xotic stomps on this board...the Soul Driven is the most smooth and my favorite. The others are more edgy and in your face. Looking forward to the next gig to get out with it.

^^^^^Mark, if I recall reading some of the on-line commentary correctly there is an additional gain stage in the RC side, IIRC

It is nice for some hair on the notes. You notice any oscillation when running the gain up on both sides and stacking??? When I had mine, it would squeal like a pig if I ran the volumes and gains over noon on both sides. Wasn't sure if I got a bunk unit or not...

You notice any oscillation when running the gain up on both sides and stacking??? When I had mine, it vwould squeal like a pig if I ran the volumes and gains over noon on both sides. Wasn't sure if I got a bunk unit or not... Not yet...I did have wicked feedback with one of my teles though...amp up loud and all controls at noon! I think the pup is more to blame as it's a tad microphonic. My relic tele didn't feedback at all with it.
