A New Live Video XONE


Following a successful 2-man performance by XONE at La Conga in September, we’ve decided to post a video of one our songs from that night.

Three songs into our show, we inserted a Free Jam that we basically played out of nowhere, in the moment. Since we were just guitar and drums that night, Jason and I decided to keep the guitar parts simple and let the drums carry the tune.

I (Will) used the Jam to show off some of the cool features of my Line 6 Vetta HD Amplifier (Ver 2.50). I use all custom Vetta patches made by me for my particular setup/rig. NO Factory Patches Allowed!!!

I started off the Jam with a Clean tone using the Fender Bassman Head for the Low, Low-Mid part of the patch, and the Line 6 Super Clean for the HI-Mid, Hi part of the patch, then morphed that patch into a Rush-like flange. Then I switched to a Hi-Gain patch utilizing a Line 6 Big Bottom (Mesa Triple Rectifier into Rivera Los Lo Bottom cab) for the Low, Low-Mid part of the patch, and a Line 6 Spinal Puppet (Suped-up Marshall) for the HI-Mid, Hi part of the patch. I finished the Jam with a Synth tone that I’m really proud of.

Jason, of course, did his usual job of pumping out the excellent driving and accented beats, that he produces at will…well not directly at me…on the club’s house kit, which doesn’t sound as sweet as Jason’s own Yamaha kit!
But you can bang ‘em like crazy!

We had a lot of fun playing for everyone that night, especially Shaun Luera, from Sifa, who stood up at the stage during our flagrant exercise in creating a wall of sound!! Anyway, Here’s the video posted at You Tube:
