Re: Aphex Guitar Xciter
well, i dunno if it helps, but i use the one for acoustic guitar, called the 'big bottom' aural exciter (what a name). it adds lower harmonics as well as upper ones, and for either nylon or steel string, i won't play without it again. as far as electric, i don't particularly like the sound, but the best bet is to try it.

It's a stripped down version of the aural exciter. I can't imagine using one for electric, but it might add life to a "blander" signal.
I, too, have the Acoustic Xciter. Anyone wanna buy it? I bought it for a purpose that no longer exists for me.

I got one that I use after my PODxt. It helps breathe a bit of life into the xt, but its not a life-saver.
Didn't do much for my Krank either. Put it in the effects loop, and if anything it seemed to detract from the tone.
However, I used the same one in front of a marshall JCM800 after a Keeley DS-1 ultra and that setup friggin killed!!
So, if ya ask me, it really depends on what you're using it for.

I have a JSX head and I'm running a Behringer Feedback eliminator/Parametric EQ in the loop and it sounds awesome. I can boost or cut any freq. in the designated audio range (20 Hz-20 kHz) It really lights that head up! Also try to find a good Chinese pre-amp tube for your v-1 slot. Also I had a Dimebucker and I thought it sucked through the JSX so now I use thd DD or the Invader.:bowdown:

The Aphex Exciter tends to be pretty subtle and studio grade so often you don't really hear it. I have two exciters I use, one is the Boss EH-2 pedal and the other is a rack mounted Audio Logic psycho acoustic processor. I use the EH-2 for straight to the amp stuff and the other with my rack gear. They add a nice little sparkle that helps cut through.
