I pretty much keep it on all the time. I have a Vox AC4C1 with a Mercury Magnetics OT, WGS Green Beret 10" speaker and Millard tubes. The amp sounds good with all the upgrades but with the booster on it just sounds better. My next project is upgrading my Blackstar 5 watter with new tubes and speaker. Just turn the dial to get the desired gain. What could be simpler. Great pedal, great price and USA made.

I bought this pedal to provide that full, hopefully, "violin like sound and sustain that many mention. It can provide that at high settings and has very usable tone controls. The AC in the name equals:Almost Clean,booster. And, it won't provide a pristine boost, but is close enough at the lowest drive setting. If you want that "edge" and slight overdrive to your sound, it has it. Beautifully made and solid build. Perfect size for pedal board real estate!
I was very sceptical about buying this pedal but owning the RC booster I knew it was going to be good, I was just hoping not same. Well it's not the same, similar but more gain on tap. I use it as a solo boost for my gain channel when playing leads. I also have to say that it's great bcs it doesn't muddy up when playing more than one note notes. Love it..

The transparency and "oomph" factor of the AC Booster make it a must-have pedal on my board. I first discovered it when playing with a new singer/guitarist who was running a humbucker-loaded Gibson through a vintage 2x10" amplifier, completely dwarfing my Stratocaster/Deluxe Reverb setup. I ended up buying one of these pedals, and presto...instant girth without adding unneeded distortion/overdrive. This is a transparent pedal, and though it can be driven, that's not its main purpose. This pedal adds thickness and presence to your tone without unnecessarily compressing and bringing you into the fuzz-zone. Warning: the tone is contagious. I've lent this pedal out and ended up having to ask the borrower to buy his own!
