Well, at least from one guitar. I built a kit amp from Allen Amplification recently and it really made me listen carefully to my guitars. It's funny but the XL was intolerable in the LPC with the new amp. The XL in the Jackson still sounds cool. I swapped it out in the Gibson for a SD JB I had lying around and it is much better. I wonder if the wiring differences have an appreciable effect. My complaint against it in the LP is that when overdriven chords sounded terrible, even simple barr chords did not sound right.
This was true with my other amps but was over the edge with the Allen. Funny, clean / semi-clean and mixed with the neck pup the XL was fine. It does a nice job on leads all by itself as well, it just didn't have the right balance in that guitar somehow. Maybe there was something funny about the particular unit.
