X50S Head

The X50 took its inspiration from the early AC50-2's  Channel One is based on the "Brilliant" Channel with some minor modifications for increase touch sensitivity, alignment of frequencies and lower noise levels.  Channel Two comes from the same family as Channel One.  Where this channel differs is in the layering of harmonics and the amount of gain available as the volume is increased.  Channel Two is very sensitive and dynamic. The most important user control for this channel is the volume control on your guitar.

Curious?  

 

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words.  What do you think a High Def Video of a brilliant, brilliant player demoing channel one of the X50?

And then there was channel two.  How cool is that!

Thank you Bobby!
