Looking to mod my XTC; who should I go to first?

[panther_king]

So, after years of harrassing Harmony Central, and enjoying my Randall, I finally decided to pop on here for questions...

So I'm contemplating sending in my XTC module for mods, and I'm wondering who you guys think I should go to; Pete over at Gigmods, or Salvation? Who has experience with either?

I also have a modern module that I'm thinking about just having redone from the ground up into something cool; any tips?

You should also consider Jaded Faith. He does fantastic work, quickly, well-priced and is the best when it comes to communication.

Listen to the samples over a high quality set of monitors. Let your ears decide.

I second the Jaded recommendation.
I recently got my XTC back from him and got a chance to break it in last night during a 3 hour show I did with a 80's rock cover band. His mods def brought out the unique voice of the XTC providing with Soaring leads so different that the run of the mill Recto based sounds I am used to hearing out of the MTS line. More gain much clearer and more dynamic than stock for sure and al this was done at a very reasonable price.

I have not played any other modded xtc modules but my Voodoo modded xtc with ug jose mod is waaaaaay better than stock.

I have mine with Rob (Jaded faith) right now. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

From talking to everyone on the forum though, i'd say that all of these guys have something a little different to offer.

Jaded's stuff is really good. His UXL is Crazy! I also have his XTC which IMHO is kind of like a sl+ with a bit more clarity and more mesa vibe on the distortion. Really good for late 80's level heavy stuff but more modern. I like Pete's Old XTC mod but haven't got his new one yet, just heard it. In my opinion, that would be the way to go, fully modded. Rob (faith's) XL is the best super high gain I have, but I have yet to get my Pete Ultra(XL) Back. Rob doesn't do the switches, but gives a great sound and is inexpensive. I reccomend his UXL. That is, if the mailman is in a good mood
