hope this helps

Hmm, the RC Booster is interesting. I am assuming it's generally designed as an overdrive pedal ?. How well does it work if you use it simply as an overdrive pedal, Malmsteen style ?.

[Shogun777]

it works good to boost an already driven amp, help fatten or brighten a clean tone.. push a tube amp into breakup, etc..with the ability to boost the highs and lows, you can get an yngwie'esque boost from it, for sure.. i find it 'enhances' the tone.. it also gives me the ability to have a 'third channel' when playing live.. i can't wait for a 3 channel lonestar.. if they cloned the dirty channel--- wow.. just wow

[Shogun777]

its actually more of a clean boost, but there is some gain to it, and the gain that it does have, is very good for adding to an already driven tone

This guy's loaded;-)

Awesome tone man and great playing...I didn't know the Lonestar sounded so good !!! Of course you make the tone...Cheers !!!

[mnicholson2003]

fantastic vid Steve!!! Love the tone, wondering how I missed this one. If you hate talking, I can do your narations for you....lol

Great Playing and tone brother I just got a BB I haven't try it with my gear but i cant wait.. but i connected the pedal direct to the PC and it sounded great !! are you connecting the bb on the front of the amp or in a g-sys loop?

[dedrye]

Wow, I too been obsessed with my RC Booster for the past year but I haven't thought of using it to reduce gain either...I am probably going to use that setting at my gig tonight. Great playing and tone. Very sweet base tone and I love how transparent those pedals are...You can rip it up too man. I've never been able to do any shred licks like that (nor have I usually wanted to), but watching this makes me want to break out my metronome again...ha.

[knikk77]

Where did you get the case for the g.system?

[jjtr679]

I love that rig man!. Beautiful tone and good playing!.

[nezmaster1]

What do you run the BB like if you just want a signal boost, like, no added eq or anything. Do you just put the bass and treble at 12 o' clock, or turn it all the way down.

[myonlydanger]

Absolutely Fantastic tone!

I use a very similar setup. I've never though of using the RC to reduce the gain.... Very interesting.

That Suhr sounds ridiculously good too!

Is that the 1x12 version?

[Shogun777]

seems to kill the tone.. i never tried balanced cabling though-- some say that fixes any issues with tone loss
