Xotic Effects 20th Anniversary RC Booster Classic Clean Boost Guitar Effect Pedal
Manufacturer's Description
20 years later, this little pedal still rocks the world with so many talented musicians. The 20th anniversary “RC-Booster” is tuned with the sound in mind of the “Initial Version”.
The 20th anniversary special RC-Booster was just released with a white powder-coated look that is familiar to longtime fans. While it is positioned as a reproduction model with a “return to the roots” concept, the circuit has been completely reexamined with modern components and the power supply can now handle 18V, making it a much more versatile model than the initial version 1. In other words, it is now the newest and most nostalgic “RC-Booster”.
“As a model made to commemorate the 20th anniversary since its release, I compared it not only to the initial model but also to other units from different periods. Although I thought they didn’t aim for a complete reproduction of the initial type, rather they tried to recreate its unique mellow tone while keeping the thickness in the bass that was added after the Scott Henderson model. I feel that it has its own individuality. It returns to its roots while being livelier than the initial unit and has the super-low sound that supports the bottom after the Scott Henderson model. Therefore, it can be said that it is a model that collects the best parts of all versions of the “RC-Booster”. Compared to the “V2”, it has a mellower atmosphere, so it may be the perfect model for modern music like neo-soul.” – Daisuke Kokuda
Its active Treble, Bass, Gain and Volume controls allow for limitless tone shaping. Added Gain switch for even fatter tones! The RC Booster V2 offers a super transparent 20db+ clean boost and a +- 15db 2 band active EQ without ever compromising the integrity of the original TONE. It provides a solution to sound degradation, caused by long instrument cables and/or long effect chains between guitar and amp, by strengthening the original signal. True bypass for eliminating any signal interference when switched off. Can be used with AC adaptor (optional) or 9V Battery.
