Xotic EP Booster

www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Xotic EP Booster is a discrete FET preamp pedal with a low impedance output. The EP Booster was based around the classic preamp side of an Echoplex and produces a shimmering boost tone that adds some high end sparkle and definition. The Xotic EP Booster features up to 20db of gain on tap and two internal DIP switches to customize the boost. One is a Bass Boost and the other is a Bright switch. The default setting is Bright on/Bass Boost off. This provides extra sparkle for the darker sounding instruments and is great for that extra edge or shimmer. The Bass Boost adds just the right amount of low end for single coils to keep up. By turning off the Bright Switch you can get a full frequency boost that is transparent and gives you back what you put into it. The Xotic EP Booster is a versatile boost pedal with more options than it appears. For that classic tone youve been searching for, check out the Xotic EP Booster. - http://proguitarshop.com/store/boost-pedals-c-43/xotic-ep-booster-p-1338

Hi PGS,

I'm considering buying this pedal, but i'm not sure whether it's a clean boost or not. Does the pedal itself stay clean all the way or does it add OD at higher output levels ?

thanks !

@fend14 - It is a clean boost, which means that it has no overdrive of its own. Just clean gain. It will, however, push your tube amp into overdrive, which is its intended purpose. Hope that clears things up for you. Thanks!

please explain the internal dip switches, what are they, are they like 3 pots for bass mid and treble?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@EMGlespaulMESA There are 2 switches for Bass and Treble boost. The Xotic website shows it very nicely!

Is the Xotic EP Booster considered a buffer used at the very front of your pedal chain, or should I be looking for a buffer as well?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@tjnugent62 When left on, yes, it acts like a buffer. Since it is true bypass, it won't act as a buffer when off. Thanks,

@blueskidd96 Thumbs up if you know that blueskidd96 got this joke form GMD. =P

[blueskidd96]

Thumbs up if you think the transparent knob should light up when the pedal is engaged.

would this go great with an ocd?

This pedal makes any kit sound better! If you use a Digital modeler you will be amazed at the warmth & fatness this adds to your sound! I use it with my Tonelab and Trademark 60 for recording. I use it live with my Mesa Boogie and it's never off! Best pedal I've bought in years. Can't recommend it enough!

[bluesbiker1963]

it makes my tech 21 trademark to a fender tube..i am very happy about this pedal

Will this pedal boost my volume considerably for solos if I use it in the fx loop of my JCM800 2210 head? Thanks

@RammingSpeed3 wait until tomorrow by jimi hendrix. u gotta know this tune man

[RammingSpeed3]

[MrFrancescosmusic]

@ProGuitarShopDemos So i can use this pedal when i'm playing with my band to cut through the mix when playing guitar solos?

[TheDavke]

jesus lizard at 5:02 ...i'm buying this because of that !!! :)

[StarStormer20]

I leave this pedal on at all times with it's level set to 0. It still improves the signal and adds a light smoothness that is only truly noticeable when you turn the pedal off and on while sustaining a note. I love it and use it at the front of my chain. Once you have one you will not want to get rid of it :P

@linux666apocalypse lol, it's a Jimi Hendrix song that Mayer happened to cover: Wait Until Tomorrow...speakig of which, I'm still waiting to hear the name of the song at 2:40
