Xaviere XV-550 and Fender Super Champ XD Demo

[mtbxcfreak]

what amp settings are you using

[ganjaking187]

ive been hearing alot of good things about these xaviers.

[metalhead384]

how are the srtings that come with it. would you recomend putting in ernie ball strings

[punkeratheart]

Hows the neck? Chunky? How about the XV620 on the wall? Do they come set up for 9's? Are they fairly easy to set up for 11's? Sorry to ask so many questions, I am strongly considering on of the XV semi-hollows for my next tinker-toy, and neck-permitting, I would go for the 620 and have 'em throw in an A-Fatbody Bridge, an I hear the 550 is wonderful with Surf-90s, so perhaps that could be next!

[bibana06]

I didn't know that guitar!



[zonie9872]

If the pre-amp is digital, shouldn't that mean its super clean as opposed to distorted?

[PeytonIsAgelessAngel]

Does the super champ have reverb??

[WhiteFlameXIII]

Its so weird. You sound pretty bad doing rhythm work until you kick into a fast lick at 3:10. And then I'm like Whoa. Great Tone for the Jazz too.

[TheSquier51]

You deffo cant play cords but you can Deffo solo haha!

[roggeriocsouza]

Cool! I like the sound and your feeling, dude!

[homersimps1]

I love the SC. It's so versatile. Great demo.

[posiedonpowertrio]

These are full scale guitars right?

[MihailTronix]

1st channel is ALL TUBE, uses 2 x 6v6 tubes... 2nd channel is solid state, but uses a 12ax7 tube...

[theShowStopper321]

@MihailTronix The second channel's sound hits the 6V6's. I'm looking at the book as I write, and my amp tech says for a fact the second channel also utilizes the power tubes.

[zurriagazo71]

Hey man. Why don't you place your mike in front of the amp on the sweet spot and stay away from it so we can hear the amp instead your strumming? Also your voice is really low.

[stgarp85]

@hxchip Actually the clean channell uses a real tube and it is not modeled. It's based on old super champ. It is like the old one with addition of second digital channel

[BradSpead7]

what is the neck like? Thin or baseball bat? :-P

[nmcclure79]

I don't quite understand why people say the effects make it not a "All tube" amp. I mean, whats the difference between using pedals and built in effects? For example, would using a distortion pedal make a Blues Junior a solid state amp?

[hxchip]

The complaint is in the fact that it is in fact a hybrid amp. The pre-amp section is digital modeling, while the power-amp section is tube. If both were tube it would be "all tube," but otherwise it can't be labeled as such. Doesn't mean it sounds bad though....

[nmcclure79]

So, even the "clean" channel is never truly "clean" because it is ran through digital modeling?

[hxchip]

That's technically correct. The pre-amp section of the SCXD is all digital, and that hits the tube phase inverter which feeds the tube power amp (output) section. The circuitry is much like Line 6's Spider Valve series in certain regards.

The clean channel appears to utilize the amp's voice #4 which is modeled after a classic Fender Blackface amp as a voice preset.

[darek277]

good job! nice tone!

[telecasterbear]

dive right in there boys. figure out how to set up your own guitar. intonating a guitar costs nothing but a little of your time.

[alexmc69]

The voice is familiar from a Strat demo I once saw on HCEG... Rock Lobster??

[martiansurgery]

Hows the intonation on the xaviere?

Do chords stay intonated past the 7th fret?Seems like a really cool guitar - maybe im asking too much for the price?

Are those .10 's ?

[generationxkid]

the only problem with the super champ is that it is kinda small awesome sounding but well i wouldn't trust it to go over drums

[BradSpead7]

great demo man. Nice job showing the versatility of the guitar!

[johnnyribcage]

I'm a big fan of the Super Champ. It is AWESOME for recording. I recently upgraded to all JJ Tesla tubes (12AX7 and 6V6S) and popped an Eminence Ragin Cajun 10" in there, and I'll tell you what, I thought it was good before, but that little bastard screams now. Highly recommended upgrade to a highly recommended amp.

[homersimps1]

Those Fender Champs are great amps.  Great demo.

[Kyite420]

Can you plug this into your orange 2x12? I was gonna use this while i save up for either an orange tiny terror, ad30, ad50, OR save up a shit load and get a marshall plexi, but I need to make sure this thing can plug into a cab first.

[therealchich]

are those seymour duncans 59s?

[mostindiesucks]

Do you play in a band? my money is on no...

[CheckmateRed]

what are the songs you are playing? coz they all sounds awesome and i recognise em but i cant remnember for the life of me what they are called

[meganrosie07]

one of them was led zeppelin, not sure which song though

[Ryu12543]

Good Times Bad Times.

[otakumei]

is that the amber sunrise or the cherryburst?

[DaPhotoGuy]

Thanks. Just purchased this guitar in Tobacco Sunburst. Hope it's as good as the one you got.

[anonazero]

i found that amp the other day. i love the tone of that little sucker. i'm thinking of using it for a recording amp.

[TEHBR00TZ]

Mr. Rock Lobster of HCEG, :D

Is there a tabbed version of that Stray Cat Strut you played?

Or is it playing the same chords and what-not in different.. ways, or whatever?

I'm a n00b. D:

[IamTheRedneck]

DANG GREAT PLAYER

[jonas4556]

Whats the name of the second song you play? sounds familiar somehow

[razberyjamdeltaV]

stray cat strut by stray cats

[Burnboy85]

Would your reccomend me buying this guitar? Have you had any problems with it?

[supguys4]

how's the height of the instrument. Like when it's lying down, how tall is the body. About the same as a les paul? or a little bigger

[razberyjamdeltaV]

seems the same.

[Gradey3]

ur a fuckin badass

[Gradey3]

bad moon on the rise

[guitardbucket]

Very well done.

[guitargeezer]

I've got the XV-500, but I'm contemplating the XV-500 or the new XV-900...the 335 clone.

What color is your XV-550? Is that the honeyburst?

Sounds very good, by the way.

[pastorkev777]

You would be amazed what sound improvements would come if you upgrade that guitar!!! These guitars are awesome but can be expounded on! If you put push pulls, new nut, new pickups, new bridge, and for stability new locking tuners you could barely put down the guitar!

[gordorich1025]

hey man thats an awesome demo there. Check out my video, im using a XV-560 w/P90s leave some feed back. Also skip to like 1:30, i started around that time.

[moddedtunnel]

Ooops , i mean't to say Xaviere XV-620 :D

[moddedtunnel]

yes , he is an excellent guitarist. check out his Xaviere XV-650 demo . he helps it sound like a big buck guitar .

[guitarheo3]

thats the best guitarplayiin ive heard in a long time!

[hockeyrocker33]

How much did u get that amp for im looking to buy one.
