The Xotic EP Booster is a seriously clever little box. It’s not a huge volume boost, but the subtle saturation and EQ shaping really make your amp shine – especially nice for clean boosts or pushing a slightly crunchy amp. This is perfect for players wanting to add a touch of vintage warmth and character without drastic changes.

Product Description

Xotic EP Booster, Effects Pedal, The Xotic EP Booster is based on the pre-amp circuit of the legendary EP-3 tape echo, The discrete FET circuit allows a volume boost of up to 20 dB, The internal DIP switches allows for the selection of different boost frequencies and EQ settings, The EP Booster can be operated from 9 -18 V (power supply not included)

PROS
  • • FET circuit delivers a warm, harmonically rich boost
  • • DIP switches offer surprising tonal flexibility for a booster
  • • Adds a subtle tape echo-like saturation, very pleasing
  • • Compact size makes it pedalboard-friendly, robust enclosure
CONS
  • • Limited EQ control beyond the DIP switch settings
  • • 9V operation can sound a little thin compared to 18V
  • • Doesn’t fundamentally alter tone; a subtle enhancement only
