Xotic Super Sweet Booster

Upgraded EP Booster

Pro:

- 20dB of gain is enough for everything from a subtle solo boost to pushing your tubes into full-on overdrive

- 4 external trim pots: high cut, hi mid boost, low mid boost, bass boost

- true or buffered bypass (internal control)

- add headroom by supplying up to 18V

- sturdy, solid construction

- miniature format lets you squeeze it onto a tight pedalboard

Con:

- tiny gain control

- most of its dB range is found before the 9 o'clock position (roughly equal to the 16 dB of the super clean)

If you're looking for a booster, look no further. If you want enough gain to go into overdrive, pick the super sweet. If you prefer a less sensitive gain pot, go for the super clean.

Great but..

It's not for everyone I guess. Gotta try it for yourself but for me it wasn't making much difference in tone on lower gain settings to justify the spendings.

On higher gain settings it was just too loud (rehearsal space).

And it didn't really work that great with my Suhr Eclipse when gain cranked above 12 o'clock.

Not something I was looking for but surely a great product!

100% Recommend trying.

Always on, a fat and rounded sound

It's a wonderful pedal: it's been always on since I put it on my pedalboard. It works best with single coils, fattening the sound and bringing it closer to crisp without distorting. The possibility of modifying the equalisation with the lateral switches (no need to open it) is an outstanding feature.
