best clean boost out there
I have used 3 of the top clean boosts and NOTHING compares to the RC booster as far as db gain, EQ and pur boost without coloring the sound. I play into a vintage 1965 Deluxe Reverb and a vintage 1866 Princeton Reverb and use this as a boost for all solos at the end of my gain and grit chain. I use a Barber LTD for grit, an Archer Ikon Gold and a Zen Drive for higher distortion sounds and stack one of them with Barber for over the top distortion. Bottom Line, with all these clean, grit, Gain A, Gain B, Super Gain all set equal in output, I use the RC Boost at ANY time to bump up the volume and get me out in the mix. It plays well with othersVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Well tuned EQ and no grit
While the price is a bit high for the features, it seems more refined than much of the competition. The treble and bass knobs have center detents, and the eq is actually flat when set there, so it is easy to get the results you want without even hearing it, where more often the eq knob position and resulting tone are arbitrary and hard to predict. With the gain all the way down and the volume set at unity, the pedal sounds the same on as off, which may not seem like an important feature if you don't need it. But it is easier to make a pedal that changes your sound than one that preserves your sound, and with the RC booster you're not stuck with a built in sound, so you can probably get more different sounds out of it as your needs change. With the gain all the way up and the volume set anywhere, the pedal does not add any grit or graininess to the sound, yet it fattens or thickens the sound, which is another thing that not many pedals manage to do, add girth without grit. The Treble and Bass controls are active and can dial in a mid hump, as well as adding clean bass boost, or whatever other tone sculpting you might need. If you do need to add some grit you can do that by overdriving the input of your amp, but the whole point of this pedal is it's ability to actually start transparent, and alter only what you target without adding its own preset voice.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

RC Booster just got better!!!
This is such a transparent overdrive and clean boost. Sometimes you just need a little extra compression and body to your clean tone and this pedal does just that. Many times I would have a light overdrive set up and I would lower my guitars volume knob to get an edge of break up clean tone but I would lose the "top end" and some "spank" because naturally the mids and hi's suffer when you lower your guitar's volume because your giving less signal from the pickup. This pedal adds the dynamic compression and light grit that guitarist look for when they want something clean but not too clean. What's even better is that the pedal seems to add a "chimey" presence to the high notes of your guitar without distorting in the upper 8k-20K frequency area which is a definite plus. The second gain stage is that extra overdrive you need to add for a nice dirty rhythm during the chorus of a song or even to be stacked on with another distortion pedal for some extra body and lift. overall this pedal is an answer to my tone prayers. A must have if you're a serious guitarist.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Exotic RC Booster
This is the only pedal I have bought that I knew I would want to keep. It makes a great amp sound even better.........I recently bought a Fender Blues Jr. and really enjoyed it's sound. When I plugged in the RC Booster it sounded 3 times better and helps an average guitar sound great. Very effective EQ controls on the pedal which really do work and gives you considerable variety. Exotic did a great job on this pedal, looking forward to checking out their other products. Don't hesitate to purchase this pedal, you will truly enjoy the results.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I expected more for the price
The pedal brightens up your sound which is nice for some applications. In my case to get a completely clean boost I has to put the gain at 0. Definitely not for humbuckers with a good amount of output. Adds some grit when raising the gain which sounds boutique-ish. It does what I wanted to do which was to increase the harmonic content of my cleans at low volumes, but I wanted it also to be able to push my amp harder without the pedal clipping. Sadly with my guitars it doesn't do that. I guess this is made more for single coils.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Most important pedal on my board!
I own three RC boosters. I don't normally write reviews but, this pedal deserves recognition. I own a deluxe reverb, Princeton reverb and it turns your amp into a tone monster. This is a supreme clean boost that adds great bass and treble to your sound. It does not change the tone, it just gives you more of it. I will not play without one. It's on all three of my boards and will stay forever. This is a desert island pedal!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Boost Pedal
This boost is excellent. However, this design has now become the default RC Booster from Xotic Effects. Therefore, although the Scott Henderson model is still limited edition, it's the same as the new regular RC Booster. Either way, any RC Booster you can find is awesome.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The OZ makes great noise.
I have two very good high end boutique double stomp overdrives '"The Gristle King" and "The Twin Stomp S21" so I had reservations if the Xotic AC/RC was going to be up to that standard. I should not have worried this pedal is the real deal it has lovely low gain transparency and plenty of the right kind of head room to cut through the band mix. The pedal itself is well made and solid I think Xotic has really nailed it with this baby, but don't delay folks there is only 1500 of these bad boys out there and I'm sure it won't take long before their all gone. Time to go shopping girls and boys.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

RC Boost - same as it ever was...!!!
Yup, I got this to back up the one I've used for years. Don't want to be without one if my main RC fails. Not that I expect it to, but just call me Noah, because I must have two of everything...!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
