Yeah, this one is the polar opposite of the newer stuff, it’s grainy and nasty sounding.
Their might be something wrong with it ?

I had mine slightly refurbished by a repairman friend. He did change one regulator in the PSU and clean all the pots with compressed air then lighter fluid and finally some lithium grease. Especially the mix pot was causing problems and constant crackles in the tone. It was a super quick job (he did it in front of me) and it really brought the thing back to life ! Mine sounds super fine, smooth and clean. I put a modified Ernie Ball in the exp pedal input, instant Whammy !!! I find it more musical sounding than most newer pitch shift algos. The regen pot is the source of crazy light saber noises and such. Lots of fun.

Ok, now I’m convinced there is something wrong with it… ??
It doesn’t act like dirty pots though, it consistently sounds the way it does.
I got it and the display for it which is a few spots up in the rack for 80 bucks at a pawn shop 40 years ago. It’s always sounded that way, I just didn’t know any better

My Buddies have been asking about the IR's from the X88, I wonder if they're downloadable?
Does anyone know where to find such Gold nuggets?
