These instruments originally retailed at $4,000 and were offered in two different colors – Red and Blue “Bowling Ball” Swirl. The official titles were “Redolution” and “Bluevolution” –

The case these came with is rather interesting. It reads Gibson + Firebird X -Limited Edition- on the outside with a leather-like and cloth exterior. It is opened and closed with the usage of a zipper. It also has attachments for shoulder straps. Neat!

It is essentially like a gig bag, but made with super sturdy foam. It reminds me of the hard Taylor Gig Cases that I love a lot! Gibson claims this will protect the guitar from a 6-story fall and that it can be used for checked baggage on an airplane. I wouldn’t want to test either of those claims with my Firebird X! The exterior’s appearance would definitely be tarnished by the airlines.

Next is the pedals that are included. If set up properly, you can use these to help modify the tones of your instrument as well as use the foot rocker as a volume or wah pedal. Unfortunately, I did not have the “bone” to link these together so I didn’t get to fully experience what the Firebird X was capable of.

This super robot has so many different sounds to choose from. In order to turn it on, you must lift up on the “Gear Shift” knob. This is the plastic knob furthest down the body. After about 5 seconds it should then power on. If you want a technical explanation of what all this instrument can do – I would suggest reading the owners manual here: http://media.gibson.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Manuals/FBX-Owners-Manual-1.3h.pdf

However, to put it briefly, there are 11 preset tones that you can select with the Gear Shift knob. With each of those presets, you can select a different ‘sound’ within that category using the 5-way blade selector switch. The first metal knob is your volume control and the black one of the “Digital Varitone” which acts as your tone knob and can also alter the sound in other ways too depending on your selection.
