Xvive T1 Golden Browine

1 – used in a techno live setting, only on bass drums

_______________


2 – I’ve use dit with an Artec pwb-8 external power supply with adjustable voltage (6 to 12 V), what a pleasure to set the voltage yourself, especially on distortions (almost an additional modulation setting)

It’s sturdy, with components that seem quality, orange skin aspect, mini format (I was afraid about that )

3 – this pedal is a nice surprise to me, a large span of delicate settings for approx. 2/3rd of the drive and presence knobs course, exactly what I was after to complete my Digitech cm-2.

Setting the voltage between 6V to 9V provides a slightly dirty distortion
Between 9V and 12V: distortion on steroids

Very little noise or hum, it really takes extreme settings to get some out of it

Don’t look for gain on the infrabass, it won’t deliver, although there’s a tone setting it’s not a Marshallesque “low”, but that doesn’t spoil the whole and it doesn’t have to blush compared with my jh-1… it completes it

4 – Pros:

- little hum
- sharp "highstortion "
- its weight, can be scratched just anywhere
- blue led (yeah, I know it’s silly but still…)
- an uncommon sound range
- price
- the way the knobs look nice !


Cons :

- doesn’t necessarily reveal the lows
- low quality printings – on mine, at least
