Mine arrived this afternoon, spent a couple hours with it. Sounds really good, it’s been about 15 years since I had my X88R.
Going by memory this definitely sounds better, and has a lot more features. Clean channel has way more headroom and punch.
Crunch channel is much more useful on the new model. Crunch with fat mode engaged is more than enough gain for my needs.
You should be happy with it

Does it have the same saggy playing response as a SLO-100 or is it a little tighter? It's hard to tell from clips.

Thanks for posting the clips

Yes, same saggy forgiveness that I remember about the SLO-100. It’s been 10+ years since I have played one.

Yeah agreed. I too was pleasantly surprised at the price point for what it irks.

For sure.Considering the original 88r was 2600.00 back in the late 80s/ early 90s.
