Ty Tabor van King's X speelde vroeger op Elites en heeft daar de eerste paar platen van King's X mee volgespeeld. En dat is een bijna legendarisch goed geluid wat die gast had (ook al kennen veel te weinig mensen in Europa King's X). Dus als je wilt weten hoe ze klinken, luister dan eens naar de CD's Out Of The Silent Planet, Gretchen Goes To Nebraska, Faith Hope Love of King's X IV. Na King's X IV ging hij op Zion gitaren spelen en weer later op Yamaha.

Early in his career with King's X, Tabor's guitar sound was considered one of the most sought-after in rock. He played an unusual model of Fender Stratocaster called the "Elite", an active-pickup model that was only in production in the early 1980s. The remainder of his gear was more of a mystery; he would switch the logos on his amplifiers to keep his tone a secret. He later abandoned this clandestine approach, and revealed in an interview in the May 1996 issue of Guitar Player magazine that he had used a solid-state Gibson Lab Series L5 amplifier along with the Strat Elite guitar to record the first four King's X albums. By the time of the interview, however, he had changed his equipment completely. Tabor has more recently endorsed Mesa Boogie, Line 6, and most recently, Randall amplifiers. He currently uses Yamaha's AES series, and a signature RGX-TT series guitar, which has been discontinued. However, fans consider his most popular and best sounding guitar to be his signature model Zion guitar.

Ik er eens naar luisteren .Wat ik al wel ontdekt heb is dat het systeem een voorloper was van de TBX toonregeling ,er zit geen 5 standen switch op maar 3 drukknoppen, dit zou het erg veelzijdig maken ,ook zouden ze stil zijn .
Op HC zijn er goede revieus ,maar dat hoeft natuurlijk niet veel te zeggen.
