Good luck with the x2
the x2 rack mount is the best there is, no compression, no eq addtions.
while i like my G2 senn i wish the X2 was available at the time. got the G2 right before X2 came out.
as for the remark on capacitance, look at old classic tones, the cap loss that caused the loss of highs for hendrix, page, SRV were all WANTED, they never played without a coiled cord.. the are plenty of situations that this was not KNOWN as to why back then, but they knew it sounded better with the coiled cords, SRV was in the studio and was setup with a straight high quality cord and **** a brick about how bad it sounded, someone ran out and eded up at radio shack and got him a cheap *** coiled one along with a bunch of other cords, guess which one he chose so that he was happy again, thats right the crappy ratshack coiled one...
The reactence of the the coils can change your tone for sure. in fact i still use one in the last stage of my rig to the amp input.. but not in my loop sections
