Product Description

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 you’ve been searching for, check out the Xotic EP Booster.

Customers are satisfied with the quality of the pedal. They say it's an awesome pedal that makes the tone punchier and thicker. Some customers also mention that the pedal is magic and that it works well for their needs.

"...There are more powerful boosts out there, but this one feels more refined and purposeful rather than a typical amp-slamming sledgehammer...." Read more

55 customers mention50 positive5 negative

Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the pedal. They say it has a great sounding boost, it EQs the tone beautifully, and it produces a warm, sweet sounding crunch. The tone is close, but not pure, and provides a subtle girth and musical attack to single notes. The pedal provides even more tone control inside the housing, and emulates the sound of the Echoplex. Overall, customers are happy with the performance of this pedal.

12 customers mention9 positive3 negative

Customers like the color of the musical instruments. They say it boosts and nicely colors the sound. Some say it adds just the right, very slight tone coloration that both fattens up the sound and colors the signal only in good, thickening ways. The type of coloring is available through a dip switch, which is ok. Some customers get beautiful blues and funky tones on the clean channel of their jcm900.

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the pedal. For example, they mention it works well, it's a legend, and it works perfectly on their electric guitar rig. That said, they say it works fabulously at feeding a bigger, stronger signal to the front of their amp.

8 customers mention8 positive0 negative

Customers are happy with the value of the musical instruments. They mention it's a great bang for the buck, a worthwhile investment, and provides better overall high end and low end.

"...for the time being this is a great way to enhance it's tone at an affordable price." Read more

"...Helps make amp modeling ITB more 3D and realistic.Very worthwhile investment." Read more

"...in chords, more defined pick attacks and just better overall high end and low end. This is seriously one of my favorite pedals now...." Read more

"...Best of all, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a vintage Echoplex!" Read more

7 customers mention7 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the size of the musical instruments. They mention that it is easy to use, built like a tank, and takes up hardly any room on the board. They also say it does the job really well in a compact, attractive package.

Customers find the guitar pedal easy to use. They mention that it helps them cut through the mix beautifully, and that it does so nicely for solos. They also appreciate the better note separation in chords, and more defined pick attacks.

"...Notes cut right through the mix when playing in a live situation. I also use it as a boost pedal for solos. Highly recommended" Read more

"...It gives a rich thickness to these leads that cut through the mix beautifully. It doesn't take up much room on my pedalboard, and it's quiet!" Read more

"...It does cut through nicely for solos but otherwise just has that highly processed cold tone that I don't care for...." Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a brilliant pedal but you need to be prepared with a few things before you use it
Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2019
I use this pedal for boosting my amp that's set to a decent amount of overdrive already.

A few things to note:

1. It's got a very wide range of boost - Upto 20 db
2. Over and above that it also has two internal switches that boost 3 db respectively for both Gain & Treble. So that adds on top of the 20 DB you have on the front
3. It stays clean only if you set it somewhere below 10 O'Clock after which it adds it's slightly edgy mild breakup
4. Running it at 18V instead of 9 will increase the headroom but not in an extreme way
5. It's one of those secret sauce pedals that works wonders to coax more from whatever you keep after it in terms of drive so do stack it with a drive into a clean amp.

I usually get my amp to drive decently and then kick it with this but with a clean amp, I turn on the Green Rhino and then kick that higher with the EP boost. Works beautifully

Es un excelente pedal, le da ese boost a tus solos que a veces necesitas. Aparte del boost colorea tu sonido, y conectarlo a 18v le da harto headroom. Su diseño compacto es bellísimo.
