The Cure for Dull Tone

True-bypass pedals are great. They don’t alter your tone when they’re not in use. But — as the guitarists here at Sweetwater will attest — if you string a lot of them together, your tone will suffer. And if you throw long cable runs into the mix, the problem is even worse. So what can you do? Xotic’s Super Clean Buffer to the rescue! The SCB acts as a defibrillator for your tone. Its built-in high-performance preamp is built around the famous JRC4558 chip to ensure a classic sound. Its buffer circuit employs a discrete design, and it yields an open, wide spectrum of tone. Beyond that, it boasts a rich-sounding +12dB clean boost with a selectable boost frequency. Want to improve your tone? Get a Super Clean Buffer — it’s that easy.

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.

Xotic Super Clean Buffer Pedal Features:

  • Counteracts tone loss from long chains of true-bypass pedals and extended cable runs
  • High-performance, JRC4558-fueled Class A preamplifier ensures a classic sound
  • Buffer circuit employs a discrete design for an open, wide spectrum of tone
  • Rich-sounding +12dB clean boost
  • External dip switches offer selectable boost frequencies
  • Audio-grade capacitors and custom-designed potentiometer
  • Heavy-duty footswitch

Reviews

Another always on pedal
Another always on pedal at the end of my chain, EP always on front of chain. Tone tone tone!
Music background: 45+years of tone chasing
Does the job perfectly.
I have the xotic SL drive. That thing is dynamite in a very small package. So much so, I needed to "tame" it a little bit, but I still needed a certain type of clean overdrive. I am using 2 Fender deluxe reverbs in stereo. Now, I never considered Fender amps as the best types of amps to overdrive. If you want that, you need to look at Marshalls, etc. But thats just me. Anyhow I put the super clean in front of my SL drive and Voila! I adjust it to where I get a certain type of clean crunch I expected from a Fender tube amp.In my humble opinion, I don't think you can do any better than Xotic pedals unless you go to some expensive rack unit. I've tried many overdrives; Boss, etc. Not knocking Boss-I use some in my pedalboard. But if you want top line sound, Xotic pedals(I find) are the best.
Music background: Former professional.
very cool
Just enough to step up in the mix for solos,or as I am using it, always on ... Love it...
on or off iz good
I got this for running a long cable but it does so much more. Excellent buffer for hot pickups in the off position but on this thing brings out just a little more of everything you already have without much extra volume, just tone. Adds clarity and sustain below 11' above that adds clipping, all the way on is somewhere between od and light distortion.
Music background: played to the nub
Yet another great pedal from Xotic
The Xotic Super Clean is a great addition to my board, giving me more possibilities for overall tone and sound ..
