Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The AC Booster V2 is a seriously useful little box. It's not going to replace a full-blown distortion pedal, but it's brilliant for adding warmth, sustain, and a touch of grit to your existing signal, or for a clean, transparent boost. Ideal for players wanting a versatile, quality-built overdrive with a vintage vibe and modern flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mode 2 has a tighter, more compressed feel with a slightly more aggressive mid-range response, while Mode 1 is smoother and more transparent, emulating a vintage amp's response.
The active EQ is surprisingly impactful, allowing you to dial in a wider range of tones without introducing unwanted harshness – it's a real shaping tool.
The boost footswitch primarily increases the gain and volume while retaining the selected EQ settings, providing a clean or overdriven boost.
