Xotic EP Booster pedal
Amazing pedal. Fattens up your tone perfectly. Sounds even better at 18v.
Just adds that magic. Once you turn it on you won't want to turn it off.
Really great sounding and solid pedal.
Famous for a reason.
And one reasons only. Because everyone wants to push their amp a bit more. And this pedals does it the best. Its a boost pedal. Or rather push it to the limit pedal. Just step on it and send your amp on a wild tone chase. Especially fenders.
Does one thing, and does it very well.
Pro:
- 20dB of gain is enough for everything from a subtle solo boost to pushing your tubes into full-on overdrive
- sturdy, solid construction
- miniature format lets you squeeze it onto a tight pedalboard
Con:
- The trim pots require opening it up (4 screws)
- Can be a tad bassy
The EP Booster is a great pedal in its own right. But frankly I'd look into the Super Sweet or the Super Clean instead of the EP Booster. Both of them have external trim pots for high cut, hi mid boost, low mid boost, and bass boost as well as an internal switch for the bypass (true/buffered).
A must have
This pedal never left my board since I bought it.
So simple so good
So simple so good... it is always on on my pedal boards ... be it bass or guitar.
Finally: a clean boost!
I bought a Keeley Katana before, but that wasn't a clean boost, it sounded kind of like a fuzz. Now this one is way cleaner and louder! I have it on my board as an overall volume boost for solos. I just got back from the studio and if your amps are up to volume and you kick this pedal in, it gives you some extra compression from the tubes and it sounds epic. Only "downside" is that it doesn't go to 0 volume, it starts at like +1, but hey, that's "one louder".
Thickens the tone of my telecaster without altering tone character.
Only one knob but that's just what you need .
On my board the xotic EP is always on.
Perfect for giving the extra "something" I need for my clean and dirty!
My always-on pedal in 18V, after my Revv G3 but also for my cleans! Gives me the "body" I want for my sound. Fits perfectly in my pedalboard due to small footprint and I'm very happy with it!
Highly recommended!
