Xotic BB Preamps... Man, those things sound amazing! Every single teacher at GIT has that on their pedal board. I think that right there shows you how amazing they are. Everyone plays their own style, yet they all love that OD pedal.

Congrats, AT! The Xotic pedals are spoken of very highly, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Merry Christmas!

Whenever I see debates about the best overdrive pedals, that and the Fulltone OCD are the two pedals whose names always come up. Some think the Xotic is the best, and the Fulltone 2nd, and others reverse the order, but relegating the Xotic to #2 is about the harshest criticism I've ever heard of it. Must be one heck of a nice pedal!

No guilt now, 'tis the season to be jolly!

Thats one awesome pedal bro. Cool

Nice pedal and not too muddy on the tone either, which is a great thing.

Excellent, Marty. Everyone deserves to have toys!

Sounds like an excellent addition to your effects family. The Andy Timmons clip was awesome. Both the clean and the distorted channels sound awesome. I have to agree with all the others big kids need toys too. Congrats, Allthumbs.
