what about it? you probably sound good playing with a washtub and wire ax. but i can't undrestand why you haven't gotten an HD yet, it's way ahead of the xt. if you're asking me about tone. i really think you'll be surprised. but when i listen to your vids i'm not listening to the tone so much as the technique. so like i said just try an hd. the only reason i can think of you not trying one is that the hd doesn't have some of the same features as the xt. or maybe you're afraid to have to learn how to use a new device
