Xvive

Xvive (SHENZHEN FZONE TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD) was started in 2014 (as Xvive Audio) by the husband-and-wife team of Nancy Lee and Fischer Mao. At that time, Fischer wanted to produce a state-of-the-art analog delay pedal. Howard Davis (designer of the legendary Deluxe Memory Man) convinced him to resurrect the classic MN3005 bucket brigade chip. This component had been at the heart of many great delay pedals, but unfortunately was no longer in production. Xvive Audio fixed that with their first product: the MN3005. Soon after, Xvive introduced a line of effect pedals in collaboration with German guitarist Thomas Blug. These included the W3 Memory Analog Delay—designed by Davis and including the new MN3005 chip.
