Xotic Effect Pedals - RC BoosterMPN: RC Booster The Xotic RC Booster is an incredibly transparent boost pedal that delivers the sweetest natural gain. This makes any amp sound better. It seems to open everything up to the point of not wanting to turn it off. Many pros use this pedal at the end of their effects chain, restoring clarity and adding drive, and they never switch it off. This is not a full blown overdrive, though with the gain cranked, it delivers a nice warm edge. "There are three pedals that never leave my pedalboard. My Ernie Ball Volume Pedal Jr., my Boss TU-2 and this sweet little number. It's the most transparent clean boost I've ever played through. Increasing the gain control adds just the right amount of grit to your sound that sounds totally tube-like. It actually sounds like real amp breakup. Plus, it's an incredible problem solver. Say you're playing a gig and the backline company gives you some random amp that you just can't seem to get a decent sound? Kick this little guy on...adjust accordingly, bass up?, treble down?...kick the gain up a bit and boom. You're in business. It can make the blandest amp shine." -Brian S., MSM Gearhead The EQ controls on these units are amazing. The highs are always pleasing and never spiky sounding and the low end control is really warm but never boomy. These controls can be used to tweak the sound of your set-up or to contour your amp to the room. There are a lot of our favorite players using the Xotic RC Booster as a main tool in their pedal boards and it's easy to see why.
