Rocks
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought this booster because a good friend of mine got the Xotic EP boost and I loved it, since I was looking for a booster I wanted something of that quality but that the same, so I checked out other xotic products and give it a shot.
First of all its a TRUE BYPASS pedal, thats important if you are getting into the sound of your instrument and amp, Second of all Its made of metal (or something that seems metal), why is that important? Well, because you're gonna bit the hell out of it stepping on it and carring it around everywhere theres a guitar or bass.
It sound really really good, I'm loving it, it's the cleanest booster of Xotic FX but you can get it dirty with the gain all the way up. If you'r looking for a boost/Overdriven distortion pedal you might wanna look for the AC or the BB, also I tried the Box of Rock and It kicks ass, but its to much for me since I use a sans amp to get the dirt.
The EQ is delicious, the single coils gain a lot of body from it, and if you wanted crispy you can get it too.
It also has a massive amount of volume, and a nice compression that adds something great to the tone of your guitar.
Before you get a booster you should be interested in a Tube Amp, thats the first step if you want to really get it because its not just an effect, its going to be a part of your sound as the string are a part of it. Choose wisely your priorities when you are burning to add something to your rig.
The only negative thinking about it its that I dont wanna turn it off, once its on its ON.
Hope you get your sound. Best wishes
