Transparent Boost with Added Gain Channel

The Xotic RC Booster-V2 provides you with super-transparent 20dB boost without altering your carefully crafted tone. And V2 offers an added gain channel for extra fatness. Take advantage of the +/-15dB range on the treble and bass EQ controls, and imbue your guitar sound with unbelievable harmonic complexity. The EQ controls also compensate for the extra bass boominess the volume boost may cause and are great for matching the response for multiple guitars. Here's a Sweetwater tip: run the RC Booster-V2 at 18-volts and enjoy the added headroom. Whether you're adding intensity to your guitar solos or simply compensating for a long cable run, the Xotic RC Booster-V2 belongs on your pedalboard.

Xotic: boutique pedals, preamps, and more

Xotic was born in a small garage in Southern California in 1996 and quickly became known for high-quality boutique bass guitars and bass preamps. These days, they've expanded the pedal line, crafting stompboxes that are played by some of the finest guitarists in the business. Their acclaimed AC Booster, RC Booster, and BB Preamp pedals remain some of their most popular pedals.

This is it, the missing link!!!

I've been searching for years for the perfect edge of breakup tone that is set to just the optimal place that digging in harder on the strings gives that sweet, round clipping and nothing, I mean nothing has done it better than this pedal. No hype on this pedal, it delivers the goods and to sonic, tonal heavenly perfection. I was skeptical about the added gain channel but to just gives even more of the greatness and takes nothing away. If your considering this pedal then all I can say is buy it now and don't look back.

Game changer

Awesome pedal that stays super transparent and pushes your amp right into grit mode without getting too hairy. The second gain stage adds more grunt if you need it. I run it straight into my de Lisle 6 watt amp to push it into parity with my Dr Z Maz 8 which I run all my modulation and timing effects through. Great pedal, super easy to use and perfect for boosting your clean or adding a little grit. Buy it- you need it and you'll wonder how you survived before you had it.
Music background: Play for fun

Love This Pedal

I really like the Xotic RC Booster V2. I use it as a stand alone boost pedal to pump up a clean lead, or as the pedal to drive my amp into overdrive, or with the 2nd gain control have it produce its own grit. Some complain about the second gain control, a pot shaft sized knob in the middle of the other 4 tightly positioned knobs. I cut a piece of tubing sized to slide over this knob a little taller than the other knobs. I can see the indicator light and easily adjust the 2nd gain. IMO it's a great pedal.

Rated 5/5

Xotic RC Booster-V2 Pedal

If you want to add a little boost for a solo or to add some dirt without changing the tone of the amp, this pedal does the trick. It does have a bass and treble control so you can tweak the tone if needed.

The two levels of boost are very handy too. I use Gain 1 for single coils and Gain 2 for humbuckers.

Great pedal.
