Xits Piper XTB 2x12 combo demo: Fender CS '52 Tele Relic w/ TIM, KOTv.4, Replica, DD-20

Demo of the Xits Piper XTB 2x12 combo, a killer boutique amp designed by Michael Koski based on that classic mid '60s AC30 Top Boost circuit. By far, one of the best sounding "Vox-inspired" amps on the market today! For the demo, I used my #1 Tele and ran through some of my favorite pedals. I had just finished a great sounding Sunday morning Church service and felt like my rig was just ON today! So, I felt like capturing it for you and plus I don't see a whole bunch of Xits demos out there anyway. Please excuse some of the slop on my playing and limitations of the audio/video capabilities of an iPhone, as the tone sounded killer in person. Hope you enjoy!

hey bro great tones! I bet that sounds great in a church setting too.

Does your KOT have the 'high gain' mod? Do you find it to have a similar amount of gain to something like an OCD, or is it mostly clean boost?

Thanks!

@habsfan170 It sounds great with everything I do especially the Church stuff. My KOTv.4 is "normal" spec and has about the same amount of gain and possibly less than an OCD. Although, the KOTv.4 has 2 sides than can stack/combined together to get even more gain. It also has internal DIP switches allowing you to adjust the range of gain of the 2 sides from a clean boost to a higher gain setting. Very very versatile and sounds great in every mode, which is why its my favorite OD/Dist pedal!

[777jordan]

do you use the KOT at the end? i love the last 20 seconds!

[sniperv]

@777jordan At the end, I'm stacking the TIM and both sides of the KOTv.4 for a very saturated OD/Distortion.

[roknfnrol]

Are the crunch tones from the KOT?

[sniperv]

@roknfnrol Using the TIM first and then the KOTv.4, both are killer pedals and my 2 favorites currently.
