All user reviews for the Xotic Effects RC Booster

Super simple, 4 knobs simple and very effective!
Fully transparent, and I wanted a booster with bass / treble EQ and believe me it changes everything!
I use it from my pedalboard, then a t-rex comp nova and overdrives (TS9 and dual ht) on Peavey classic 30 first generation and I love it.
I'm getting a very realizes his superb! with a Strat and a Les Paul.
It is upscale and you quickly understand why, especially when I'm fun on the dire straits, the sultan of swing solo comes alive at last! because it enhances the clean sound with a beautiful evolving,.
if I'm in the clear apache I get chills, and the solo still got the blues it adds that little extra that makes all the difference!
forever with this beautiful transparency in the mix.

UTILIZATION

I use it in a blues style rock, funk, to add clarity and to boost some solo!
Coupling the compressor nova t-rex is the bomb! and was the basis of its very strong
that any guitarist (professional or not) research, believe me!

SOUND QUALITY

this pedal is exceptional and this is the best of the Xotic range!
All booster I've tried tend to distort the sound but you will be surprised, yes it is expensive but understand why

OVERALL OPINION

I would buy no problem if he had to let go because it is part of my pedalboard.
For me it is undoubtedly the best size Booster pedal!

Pedal that can be used either to saturate either booster.

UTILIZATION

Very simple to use, no need for manual ...

SOUND QUALITY

It is his strong point, the sound.
I find it perfect for completely transparent. It does not change the grain of the amp, it just brings grain or volume, depending on what we want. Even the bass / treble EQ is very effective.
I use it on my first chain effect. It perfectly complements my Peavey Classic 100. It is suitable for a Strat for a Les Paul.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been several years that it is in my pedals, it never leaves me.
I had Ibanez Tube Screamer or Maxon, a Blues Driver and perhaps others .... This pedal is in my view clearly above the rest.
For information on other models of the brand, I also think it is the best.
After that, everything is a matter of using my basic sound satisfies me. RC booster is added to the saturated or raise the overall volume, I do not use it for a new sound. Note also that it has a nice sustain!
It fulfills its role to perfection!
Also note that after a few years of use, the switch has passed away ....

A comprehensive and effective boost. Pedal "intelligent" because it can also be used to OD on a fairly wide range but in the OD light means.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, 4 knobs very understandable.

SOUND QUALITY

Quality is, in my view, quite exceptional. This is one of a rare pedal that does not go back on my PB, it's always in my config.
I use it to improve cleans, or so delicate, no gain, just with the volume, especially on humbuckers.
On single coil, it is terrible enough to slightly dirty sound and give the impression of playing with a clean fenderien grown on 6 or 7.
A very good response to playing dynamics depending on whether more or less based on the ropes.

It's also a great boost that does what is asked, that is out of the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for quite some time now, about 2 years and I never tire of it, it is part of my game
I love everything about this pedal, discretion and natural. We really feel that it blends with the characteristics of the amplifier is used.
I think she prefers the single and double pickups but she also knows how.
It is mainly engaged all the time on which cleans it adds depth and relief without distorting the sound.
It can really be very discreet if desired but I've never released anything bad.
I never pushes the gain in depth because it is not the sound I search but can do in the OD light but aggressive.

I would do without hesitation that this choice is an investment that deserves it.
After I play blues or rock rather muscular, for other uses it may be less effective. Although, it is also a great boost.

Boost with level control / gain / bass / treble
Active Electronics (20 dB level, 15 on the Equalization), analog, true bypass

UTILIZATION

Super simple, I have not opened the manual. It sounds, right away!

SOUND QUALITY

Terribly effective, this is the kind of pedal you might want to leave all the time engaged, as it "exhauste" sound. After the boost is obviously less sense when one is already in distortion. on the other hand, in clean / crunch, the slap. It magnifies the sound, to give it body, I move better in the mix, and really dynamic. My setup is not insane (triac in the entrance of a Fender Frontman Poweramp FM212) but already we feel the impact

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using qques months, I am super happy. No disappointment or regret, I would do the same choice. I had no essyé before, but it seems that other products are also the same brand of super high quality, on the production and sound =)

Excellent quality / price (purchase in the U.S. via eBay)

It's a boost with a bit lossless compression attack
can be added sustain and tone with a serious and a separate acute
it plugs into the beginning chain.
She is always there on my conf
The rule of the problems associated with signal cables

UTILIZATION

It's really effective it improves the sound of a subtle and effective

I will say that one can change the sound of an amp and remedy its weaknesses.
it adds sustain, gain, and presence and it is perfectly true.
The sound can really be changed thanks to the regulation of tone,
It is as if the amp settings benefited from additional
Not a hair's breath of sound effects is improved

SOUND QUALITY

Exceptional

OVERALL OPINION

Extra yes I will ever be the choice

Booster tranparent but not as a (see below).

UTILIZATION

At home, the RC is placed beginners chain and always on.

SOUND QUALITY

In addition to the sound buffer is subtly "amlior. So it is not clear the pedals? If Ben, though. I know it's not logical, but it's like a. Sometimes a Man must accept its contradictions and accept his weaknesses, accept its share of fminit like it as I put both o the heels heels of my cousin 8 -
but I m'gare ...
In short, a subtle pedals for easy living.
In addition, I'm using it as my sound to compensate based on the place where I play (too much treble or too serious, or not enough ... etc): thank you Tone knobs.

OVERALL OPINION

So in a booster Xotic has worth?
YES!
In short, it is not essential, but that's a one as you need! Even if it is not given. In fact, especially if it's not given!

# It's active Treble, Bass ,Gain and Volume controls allow for limitless tone shaping .
# The RC Booster offers a super transparent 20db+ clean boost and a +- 15db 2 band active EQ without ever compromising the integrity of the original TONE.
# It provides a solution to sound degradation, caused by long instrument cables and/or long effect chains between guitar and amp, by strengthening the original signal.
# True bypass for eliminating any signal interference when switched off.

The RC is basically a clean boost pedal that allows you to further shape the EQ with treble and bass knobs. Depending on the original guitar signal it can add the slightest amount of clipping or 'dirt' to the signal.

UTILIZATION

Of course, very simple to use. 4 knobs that will help guide you into creating some very lush and thick boosted guitar tones. Plug in, tweak just a bit, and play.

SOUND QUALITY

The RC has a great thing about it, that it's transparent. Very transparent. So transparent in fact, that if one were to set the knobs correctly you can pretty much not even hear that it's been engaged. And once you adjust the knobs accordingly, you can either fatten the sound of a single coil, or slightly push the amp into the SLIGHTEST bit of overdrive to get a bluesy tone. It's a great pedal and very low gain.

As a high gain overdrive, it's spectacular. Not only does it provide complete transparency, it pushes the amp into overdrive just enough to get that saturated overdrive tones that most hi gain players are looking for. Of course this also depends on the amount of gain one uses. Some like to add gain from the overdrive pedal itself which helps but I've always liked things to be a bit clearer, tighter and try not to overdo it with the gain.

OVERALL OPINION

I think this is my new favorite pedal out of the xotic line. It's so clear and yet subtle but can provide a lot of different textures depending on how you set it. It's very sublte mind you but it definitely does make a difference. It's most likely my most favorite clean boost so far.

I've heard many other users and have been nothing but impressed of the tones I've heard from them whether it was blues or jazz or what have you. Yes, this pedal is mainly geared to more lower-gain styles of music, but it is not to say that the RC can't be used as a hi-gain overdrive as I've stated before, it definitely can depending on the context and the amp that you have of course.

I generally like to use non-made-for-metal pedals for metal. It just seems to work better than most pedals that are actually designed for metal. I can't quite put my finger on why or how. Overall, great clean boost. Very uncompressed, transparent sound. Great!!

Clean Boost, which functions as a minimum of preamp (Bass, Treble, gain, volume), and above buffer, which removes the hum and noise amplified qd example of a distortion pedal is pressed. That box has always carry in any config. Sir Plus in other words.
