As Zappa said, Carvin Rocks
When you get the X1 EQ'd to taste, the Lead channel has a great crunch, and the gain stage adds a singing lead tone. The clean channel is a bit thin for my tastes, but some may love that.
Overall the Legacy Drive has a better tone, but the X1 has more tonal options due to the graphic EQ. Also, the 1 watt speaker output going into a Vintage30 speaker cab is great for a practice/bedroom level amp.
I've also just plugged into the headphone jack to jam in my own little world late at night, and been lost in the sound. The tone through a quality set of headphones is solid.
