Fat Sound welcomes the next Big Thing........Xits Amplifiers. Simply phenomenal!
Dual, interactive volumes, bass, treble and a "sparkle" switch make this amp very simple to dial in
The Xits X10 is absolutely one of the finest amps I have ever played. Shimmery cleans, super thick gain
Hand stitched, El Dorado leather handle and Chilewich Woven vinyl covering.
Such a clean and elegant cosmetic design, the X10 is functional art

Destined for greatness!! Nearly everyone who has heard one has ordered one.
The small size of this combo is very deceptive. When you first see it you are struck with its unique look and beauty, but can't possibly imagine the enormous low end and extraordinary range of tones you are about to experience.
The Clean tones shimmer and sparkle when the amp is addressed with a delicate touch or set with lower volume 2 settings, but when you dig in the thickness of the crunch and overdrive is literally startling. Tight and focused lows with a very broad range that extend musically into the lower mids give this amp impressive growl to counter the perfect top end.
If this amp sold for $700.00 more than it does it would take me all of 5 minutes of playing it before I was racing to the shop's counter to purchase one. It's really *that* good.
I appreciate Xits builder Michael Koski wanting to keep his amps within reach of musicians, but he has really under priced this one.
This amp receives my most Highly Recommended tag!!

The new, 20 watt Dr Z Monza 110 combo is the love child of the Carmen Ghia and the Mazerati GT yet manages to find its own voice. This amazing amplifier is small in size and very reasonable in price, but offers fantastic clean tones with wonderful bloom and sustain that morph into a thick crunch as the gain control spins clockwise and eventually lands in infinite, overdriven sustain territory with no harsh frequencies to be found anywhere along the way.
The Red Fang 10" speaker is the perfect complement to this amplifier and the optional addition of the wildly succesful Brake-Lite for a $100.00, introductory offer, upcharge creates a grab-and-go amplifier with a tone and volume range that allows the guitarist to cover a huge variety of musical styles and venue sizes from living rooms to medium sized clubs and from Jazz to Classic Rock and Blues.
About a year ago we started asking for an amp that was essentially a "Junior" version of the Mazerati GT and the result is the Monza.....an amp that just sings and sings with a combination of tight, punchy lows and wonderful articulation that will leave you convinced the amp is sporting a 12" speaker and twice the power despite its dimunitive size and lower volume capabilities.
Customer Compliments
Xits X10 112 Combo with Greenback
"Stu,
Thanks so much for spending so much time with Gary and me today and guiding us into the entirely intoxicating world of XITS tone. I haven't been this excited about an amp since the first day I heard the Swart Atomic Space Tone. The X10 really seems like a game changer at that price point...... I loved the ambient kind of clean tone stuff you played today and I would definitely urge you to record several clips of you playing that kind of stuff and then startle the listener with the surprise of your digging in and getting that incredibly thick saturated tone...wow, that was quite an arresting sonic experience.
It was very cool when you were demoing the amp and absolutely everyone in the store turned around and slowly walked toward the amp like tonal zombies transfixed and transformed by the sheer beauty of the tones...I have never seen anything like that...a great moment that almost seemed like a commercial come to life...
The X10 seemed a perfect volume and I was really impressed at how well it did with lower volumes."

"Hi Stu,
Gave my daughter the axe, she loved it. Named it "Stuart". I was really impressed with it, Mark did his usual fantastic job setting it up, plays wonderfully & it was even still in tune when I got it which really shocked me. Thanks as always!"

"What Is The Value Of Customer Service?
I have enjoyed a long and rewarding relationship with Fat Sound Guitars. Their extensive, consistent and impressive expertise with guitars and amplifiers, and their dedication to excellence and customer service is second to none. They consistently prove to be a valuable and trusted resource. Notable to me was that from my first interaction with Fat Sound Guitars 10 years ago, it was all about establishing a relationship to explore, understand, and meet my needs rather than superficial pleasantries and simply selling me a guitar. Importantly, all of the guys at Fat Sound Guitars are not only real guitar players, but are knowledgeable and equally dedicated to the needs of the complete novice to the working professional guitarist, in a wide range of musical styles............"

PRS Modern Eagle II
"Stu & Mike,
Wanted to drop you a line to let you know how happy I am with the Modern Eagle II. It exceeded my expectations. You mentioned that Paul himself played the guitar at the PRS Road Show at Fat Sound last summer that featured David Grissom. You also mentioned that Paul said it was a "special" instrument. I must agree with Paul after gigging with it a few times now. This thing is a vibe machine! Many thanks to Mike Ayers who handled the deal for me over the phone. He was extremely helpful, answering all of my million questions and even got the guitar to me the next day. A few days later he sent me a picture disc of some shots that werent included on your site. That was a very nice touch. Service after the sale is a dinasour in todays world but you guys deliver in spades.
Must get up to your shop in the near future. Thanks again.
Regards,"

"Absolutely love it! Plays great, the tone is SO cool, not just another P90/Junior type of tone. It reminds me of a killer Esquire with the guitar volume slightly backed off, then it morphs into a beefier Esquire on steroids tone. I like that it doesn't approach a humbucker in it's tone. I've had several P90 guitars that with some gain almost sounded like a humbucker, but this one still sounds like a P90. It still has a unique "growl" in the midrange that my korina one has, it must be the body style. I love both of them in that they are not a clone of something, they have their own vibe!
What Lollar is in it? [Standard Lollar P-90 - Stu] I love the tone switches, I use all the setting. I can't wait for rehearsals. Anyway, thanks AGAIN for another stellar guitar. BTW, it looks KILLER!!!!!"

".....how can I describe, without excessive expletives, how this guitar looks, plays and sounds? I'll try, but no promises. First, visually, it's everything I hoped it would be and then some. Don always provides impeccable craftsmanship and construction and this one is exceptional. He really does fabulous work! I love the color and the wood is awesome! It's a very classic look and is just what I wanted.
Playability? The guitar plays like freakin' butter! If anything it makes playing too easy!. And that trem... It really works for me on the body and still lets me "quiver" when I need to and dive when I have a mental spasm. And it stays in tune! It's actually quite sensitive and responsive as well.
Sound? I plugged into the (Nolatone) CL-15 and played for about an hour just to knock some of the new off and it's killing me so far. The Fralin's are as expected. Brilliant! The guitar is light, lively and acoustically just rings like a bloody bell! Throaty and woody on the neck, mid-position has great mids and sparkle and the bridge feels bright without being painful. Lindy rules!
Anyway, it's a killer! Thank you for all your help."
