RC Booster-V2 Pedal Review

Saturation and Tones!!

Really allows me to add that power to boost my signal. The added tone tweakage with the EQ is a pleasure to work with when dialing in the sound I want from Guitar/Amp.

Really awesome!

I use this in front of an Orange OR-15H (with an MXR Carbon Copy in the FX loop). I set first side of the RC Booster V2 as a clean boost to push my amp into a little breakup. My telecaster's volume is rolled off by about 50%, which leave me plenty of range to ride my volume knob if need to get a little more crunch as well. I set the second side to be about 30% more gain sending… read more my amp into hard rock rhythm sounds instantly. The other trick I have found is roll back the bass and treble knobs on the pedal to 9 o'lock each. This gives you a mid focused boost which really helps keep the amp breaking up in a more "natural" way in my opinion. The Orange already has plenty of low end so doing this really "tightens" it up, similar to how you may expect from a TS style pedal. As far as the tiny knob in the middle goes, I've found the easiest way to adjust it is with tip of my thumb. It has a small notch to indicate where the knob is set, which you can feel with your thumb quite well and you're not just guessing where the knob is set. This pedal is really awesome! Its a compact all in one stop for sweet boost. I plan to get a rangermaster style pedal next to push in front of this and get full on Sabbath tones.

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… read more 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.

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… read more or adding a little grit. Buy it- you need it and you'll wonder how you survived before you had it.

If you can only take one pedal...

make it this one. EQ, boost and grind - pretty much all you need.
