Randall XTC module clip -- Modded by Jeff Hilligan @ Egnater

[aeroic]

Here's the Randall XTC modified by Jeff Hilligan.

I used my Suhr Pro Modern M1, with the XTC in the M4, powered by the Randall RT2/50 w/ 6550s run into my Grendel Dead Room iso cab w/ a G12K85 and mic'ed by 2 SM57s. I am using a BB preamp to boost the XTC just a bit. The Gain on the BB is at 9 oclock, the treble at 10 oclock, the bass at 2 oclock, and the volume at 11 oclock.

The drums are just a groove w/ EZDrummer I threw in there for fun. Here are 2 MP3s...one w/ just the rhythm guitars, and one w/ a lead and drums over the rhythm.

Great sounds, Jeff!

 

[mrbeasty]

Sounds very nice, a bit Alice In Chain-ish but in a good way.

 

[Donnie Z]

Whoa that sounds nice

 

[Berserker]

Dude that sounds amazing! That's what I want my sound to be like. How much did the mod cost you?

 

[fuzzyguitars]

i think it would cost about a hundred bucks, you would get a new faceplate and knobs too!

 

[JKD]

Bump for Hilly XTC love!

 

[eddiespaghetty]

Jeff does great work - I have two modules made by him and they sound perfect!

I am getting this mod done in the next week or so. I love Jerry Cantrell's tone and Jeff's mod nails it, based on the clips that I have heard. Can't wait to hear it in person.

My Hilly XTC should arrive by Friday. Can't wait.

Wow, it got back really fast! I'll try it tonight and post my thoughts. Thanks for the fast turnaround Jeff!
Cheers,

I really like the work! The stock XTC has a character I really like and didn't want to lose. After Jeff's work it still has the character that I know and love but with improved clarity and harmonics. It's a cheap mod and Jeff turned it around before I knew it. So if you're not looking for a radical change in tone, but a more solid, pro version of what you have...do it.
Cheers,
Jace
