Xotic makes some of the most natural sounding pedals that we've heard. The AC Booster, RC Booster, and BB Preamp make up the "Tremendous Trio" and have found their way onto many of our own pedal boards. Rather than sounding like an effect in front of your amp, these pedals *become* a part of the amp. Pro Sound Communications, Xotic's distributor, also sends us the Arion Chorus Mod and other amazing effects. Check out our selection below. While quantities last - free adaptor included ($19.95 value) with all Xotic pedals!

We are consistently selling out of the Xotic AC Booster, and once you play with one, it is easy to see why. Take it from a mild boost with a little warm edge to a full out 70s Marshall on 10, and it always stays amazingly natural and transparent. It always sounds good no matter where you set any of the controls. The EQ controls are like no other we have come across. The highs are always pleasing and never spiky sounding, and the low end is really warm, adding a Marshall low end thump that never gets 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 this pedal as a main tool in their pedal boards, and after spending time with it ourselves, it's obvious why they are in such demand. Here, the Xotic AC Booster is in a cool copper finish.

The Xotic BB Plus is back in stock and we don't expect them to last long. They're versatile and could easily become the new essential on your pedal board. These are very cool. From Xotic: "A pre-amplifier, so transparent and versatile it bridges the gap between fingertips, guitar and amplifier with a full spectrum of sounds. Channel A epitomizes the core of the original BB Preamp. It has an amp-like feel. Characteristics that are very open with rich complex harmonics. Channel B is the most versatile booster we have ever designed. At any setting, it delivers the most inspiring musical tone that only dreams are made of. Activate both channel stacks with a single button for unlimited configurations of superb tone." Free shipping within U.S.

An incredibly transparent boost pedal that delivers the sweetest natural gain. This pedal makes any amp sound better. It just 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 to restore clarity and add drive, and never switch it off. This is not a full blown overdrive, although with the gain cranked, it does deliver a nice warm edge. The EQ controls on these units are like no other we have come across. 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 tweek the sound of your set-up or to contour you amp to the room. There are a lot of our favorite players using this pedal as a main tool in their pedal boards and after spending much time with it ourselves it becomes obvious why they are in such demand.

Another outstanding pedal from the Xotic folks. These pedals have become the house favs here. Incredibly natural and transparent with EQ like no others out there. It's capable of a 30dB+ clean boost with an adjustable 15dB two band active EQ which adds a wide range of harmonic content to your ideal sound. The BB also utilizes a pre-gain stage which allows the pedal to go from a very pristine clean to a very smooth, compressed, overdriven sound. The BB Preamp also features true bypass for eliminating any signal interference when switched off, and is hand wired and hand crafted in the U.S.A. Can be used with AC adaptor (optional) or 9V Battery.
Some quotes from their site:
"I tried the BB Preamp on my gig and I love it! After 3 years using the SD-9 I'm changing to the BB in my rack." - Scott Henderson
"I was worried about airplane travels in Europe. So I brought my new Signature model, which is a very nice guitar but it doesn't have quite the push of the sound that I like that I got from my old one. So I used the BB Preamp with the gain all the way down. I almost used it as a pre-amp in the sense of just boosting the clean sound a little bit. As a true booster of the tone and the volume. Almost like a compressor without compressing. It's very effective for me...." - Lee Ritenour
Hey man. GREAT sounding stuff. I used the BB preamp on Tony Levin's new CD. I loved the sound of the BB preamp. I just gave it a little more gain and adds some top end and it sounded so natural. NOT like a "pedal". Tony loved it and so did I. - Steve Lukather
