XVIVE T1 Golden Brownie Review

, ,

The XVIVE T1 Golden Brownie is a pedal I have been hearing SO much about recently that I just had to bite the bullet and buy one to see if the hype was real, worst case scenario it goes back on Reverb.com! EVH’s Brown sound is something which has always appealed to me and something which currently I cover with my Suhr Riot pedal when need be. A pedal I really do love btw!

But having said that I am also working on a little challenge project at the moment, so I was also on the look out for a mini pedal to fill in for the Riot! Could this be the one? Check out my video reviewHere is the blurb from the product site!

Product Description Thomas Blug has been sought after artist on the German and International music scene for many years. A very accomplished guitarist, vocalist, composer and recording artist, Thomas has won many awards and his known for his soulful music, which Xvive can help deliver. Xvive are very excited to work him in the development of the Golden Brownie and Tube Squasher micro pedals. The Golden Brownie is like a vintage Marshall JCM800® in a box. If you want high gain hard rock ’80 tones then this is the pedal for you. It has an unbelievable (over) Drive range and is perfect for head-on heavy grind applications. The Pres (presence) knob adds versatile tweaking ability that transforms any amp into a fire breathing hellhound! The Tone knob is all about the blues and soul. Turned down, it is time to rock and turned up it is time to sing some blues. Controls TONE – shapes colour of distorted signal VOLUME – controls overall volume of effect DRIVE – controls amount of gain PRES – takes a sharp distortion and gives it some extra room Foot Switch toggle effects on/bypass (blue LED ‘on’ indicator)
