Tech 21: new pedal preamp. The XB Driver.

Looks pretty cool.

I bet the price will be eye-watering though! I'm going to guess £500.

So, a Geddy Lee pedal for people who don't like Geddy Lee? 

I also associate the bi-amping sound with Billy Sheehan EXCEPT that his method requires dual input sockets to keep the signal from each pickup discrete.

Between the crossover and the comp it looks more like an expanded version of the DP-3X than the Geddy stuff. Love Sansamps and can't see this one being any different, but total overkill for me right now. Looking forward to hearing some more clips and inevitably changing my mind!

Upon reading the full web description, I agree that the XB is pretty much a Super Dug pedal. 

Gotta wonder when the original GED2112 rack will be superseded to add the Tight switch function of the desktop and pedal variants?

Ye gods - it's up at £599.00

I'm out.

Absolute nope. Love Tech 21 but that is insane.

There'll be a Joyo one eventually.
