Listening back I miss how much that amp inspired me to play. That whole clip was improvised. Hoping to get a Bogner Ultra EL34 one day. The XTC wasn’t the meanest or highest gain amp at all but it had a musical grind to it.

I've got a 104BV now and have used 101b and 100b models. I didn't really like the 100 as much but the 101 and the 104 do metal just fine with no boosts other than the output control of the wireless IMO.

Old thread, but yeah, the XTC can do metal. It's very different from the Herbert. I've got a 101B and a Herbert Mk II. The XTC can get really raw and has plenty of gain, especially the red channel. The Herbert is compressed and more polished sounding with a MASSIVE low end that stays tight. Just two very different amps.
