    You guys are killing it with this video! We needed this video brothers. I already knew what it was and plan on getting one. Im a new sub so idk if you do any bass gear but i plan on using it on the bass rig and a bass video similar to this would be awesome.

    Good review but I think they're being way too polite. IMO, the Euphonic was garbage. Nothing sounded good and the eq knobs barely did anything. The Mesa sounded good enough, like my GK or Markbass class D heads, but the Aguilar stood out like a gem. Everything sounded good. They seem to be the only class D amp out there that has great tone and a good usable overdrive, except maybe DarkGlass. Got a kick out of him pulling out a 39 year old Rick for us super modern folks. Would be nice to hear an active PU 5 string like Schecter, Ibanez or Spector. That would be modern, even though my SR-885 is from 1992.

    Interesting comparison. But in fact we have two pedals built around different Chip (Analog Delay). I think big box pedal is Version first or second Deluxe Electric Mistress which built around Reticon SAD1024 . LongAmp Roxanne build around MN3007. I think LongAmp Roxanne have original Deluxe Electric Mistress circuit but reason why they sound different is in Delay Chip. NOS Reticon SAD1024 is not cheap in comparison MN3007 . Maybe price on pedal with Reticon SAD1024 would be not 250 $ but 550 $ and for that price we can get pedal that sound like original first version with same depth and bottom end. Anyway LongAmp Roxanne is great Deluxe Electric Mistress incarnation...

    I run an XO on my main pedalboard that I use for both flanger and chorus. Recently I picked up a 2008-14 Reissue big box with separate 24v adapter. Their factory settings are very different, although they can be modified to achieve pretty similar sounds by messing with the trimpots on the back of the pedal. The big box I have has four trimpots, while the XO I have has five. Here are my thoughts: Color: The XO has a lot more volume on tap, and goes into self-oscillation when this knob is maxed. The RI can be set to go into self-oscillation too by turning up the "Feedback" trimpot in the back, but at factory settings it's calibrated much lower. I actually backed off my XO just below self-oscillation, and maxed the separate "Mix" trimpot so it sounds extra lush like the old boxes. Range: The XO's sweep is calibrated at a lower range than on the RI, which causes it to lose its high-end chime that the Electric Mistress is known for. But the lower-frequency sweep recalls an MXR Flanger, which makes the XO able to do Van Halen sounds. When this knob is turned up, a pitch-bending seasick effect is introduced. My XO starts to get noticeably seasick when the Range is set past 1:00, while my RI really only starts to get to the same point when the Range is maxed. Again, this can be changed by messing with the "Clock" trimpot on either pedal. Rate: The taper of the Rate knob is similar on both pedals - the slow settings exist from 7:00-9:00 and everything else is moderate to high speeds. A lot of people complained that the XO didn't sound good, and I think it's because the louder Color and the lower Range didn't play as well with how the Rate knob worked. All three of my RI's controls feel a lot more interactive and musical. The XO can absolutely sound musical but you can't just set the knobs at 10 o'clock and do Gilmour on it; you have to use your ears. Filter Matrix: I don't use this mode too much, but my XO yields a high-pitched squeal when the Range knob is turned up in this mode. This can be fixed by tweaking the "Clock" trimpot CCW, which also raises the frequency of the sweep. I can't recreate this squeal on my RI at any knob or trimpot setting, and I'm wondering if this has to do with the tolerance of the parts or the circuitry. My XO uses an Xvive MN3009 chip (which is probably also found in the current Walking on the Moon version) while earlier pedals (including the earlier XOs) used Reticon chips. In conclusion I don't think it's necessary to pick up a vintage model if you're going for the Electric Mistress sound - because the Electric Mistress sound itself notoriously varies from model to model, version to version. The reduced size, LED, and 9v power supply make the XO the clear winner if you know how to use your ears and set the pedal accordingly with the trimpots. The big boxes have that classic sound out of the box as well as the vintage mojo if that's what you like, but for all practical purposes the XO can tweaked to sound similar, if not the same. As for the Stereo, I've never owned one but I don't think it gets a fair shake from most guitarists. A traditional EM it is not, but it gets these really cool, washy, synth-y textures that make it a beast of its own. And that color-changing LED is a fun touch.
