That sounds killer Carl..............I like it! Are you running W/D/W in the video?
I'm not hearing that roundness of the lows with this X88 versus what I sometimes hear with the SLO???????
The pitch shift may sound better bettween the preamp and power amp? It still sounds good up front though.

Love the crunch to the tone. Congratulations, Carl!

It sounds really good. I would try the pitch shifter in the effects loop of the X88 set to detune with the +10/-10 cent setting into your delay/reverb.

Damn, that's killer tone. If you don't mind me asking, what are the settings on your pitch shifter? Also, thanks for throwing some Montrose in!

I tried it. When turned ON, the output got lower.That sounds killer Carl..............I like it! Are you running W/D/W in the video?

I always dial out low-end.
I owned countless SLO‘s. I prefer this pre-amp. Way more versatile.

It’s just mildly on. Mix control was 10:00

I have that same Boss pitch shifter and ran it after my ADA MP1 for years. It will take a line level input without clipping badly, but it neuters the output volume. That is why I suggested putting it in the effects loop of the preamp with the loop level set to instrument. It shouldn't cause the volume cut nearly as bad there.
I eventually picked up an Eventide Micropitch which has a switch for line and instrument levels, and an "out level" to adjust the volume between active and bypass. It makes it easier with the rack stuff, but the eventide is a little more fiddly to get set to the EVH-esqe +9/-9 cent setting I am attempting,and sound wise the Boss sounds just as good (if its seeing the proper levels).

The Boss Pitch Shifter worked well in the loop. It was Hugh actually. Kinda like an always-in effect. I might try it again.
That’s why im taking a hard look into the VP4.
