I have been trying to decide what it is I should say "about" XITS.  This is a hard task and how is one to communicate in words something that helps other artists express themselves through sound?  Today I will start with the basics, the why.

When I was five years of age I was introduced to the sound and images that for the most part would define who I was and am today.  These sounds and images were the Beatles.  Pure magic!  As I like to say I was abducted by the Beatles and saved by the Small Faces and the Who (The Who Sings My Generation).  The truth being I was truly saved by Paul Weller.  Yes the Small Faces and the early Who had a huge impact on me but it was Mr. Weller that helped me truly understand who I am.  What does this have to do with tube amps?  Well, VOX AC30's, Mod, Raw Passion, Truth...  The list could go on and on.  When I saw and heard my first Vox AC30 it forever changed my life.  When I opened a Guitar Player in early 1992 and read about Matchless I truly knew what my calling in life was.
