I highly recommend the Xotic EP Booster. I use it as an "always on" tone enhancer in front of my OD and Distortion pedals. It just adds that mojo for sweetening the sound of my rig. Small pedal with a huge tone....I've owned many boost pedals and this one is by far my favorite.

The “always on” pedal. I use this pedal for a slight boost. It’s mainly used as a signal enhancer which it does perfectly. I would highly recommend this pedal! Helps fill out your tone and round the bass while adding a nice sparkle on top.

I use this with my Princeton reverb and I keep it on all the time. It gives the amp the perfect push to beef ip the sound and I love it.

Truly Clean

This is a truly clean, transparent Boost. On my board, it sits in the third position from my guitar. It is also used as a secondary boost. It gets kicked on for lead breaks, and is set at about 2 O'Clock. The difference is massive, it really works well with my Vox AC15. I definitely recommend this unit!

This pedal not only will boost your guitar volume but it will sweeten the voice of your guitar tone tremendously. There are times that I just leave the pedal on continuously because of the rich quality of the guitar tone that you get with this pedal. This is a must on your pedal board!!!

Be heard on your solos! The EP booster adds plenty of volume and a little mid range bump to get you heard in a mix. Even with the knob all the way down this boost gives you a noticeable volume boost!

40+ years in live bands. I've had countless guitars,amps,stomp boxes,etc. I was wanting to give a little boost to my old 57 Strat my favorite guitar for nearly 30 years. I set it on "vintage" set it about 10 o'clock and left it alone all night. Wow! It was more than I expected. What great box!

EP Clean Boost,or as I call it. MUST have pedal.
I never turn it off. I use very little as far as effects,this booster,and A wah pedal. That's it.
Gives my already beastly Mesa amp a supercharge to the tubes,without diminishing my tone. It adds SOMETHING. Can't explain.
It ROCKS.

Product Review
You think you got some good tone, the amp is dialed in, you're feeling good. Then you get the EP-booster. It makes your tone and amp sing with a silky smooth coating of lusciousness. I say "coating" because it doesn't drastically change anything other then how good your rig sounds. Then you shut it off for comparison and you think how lame your sound was before. This is the only pedal in my 35 years of playing that I ever felt I can't do without.
Read some reviews, watch some videos, then get yourself one.

Amazing, I run this with a Marshall jvm410hjs & a $5,000 pedal board. Can’t say enough about how this little peddle just does that little something that absolutely brings everything to life. I put it at the end of my signal chain and turn it up about a 1/4 of the way and when you step on the switch it’s like the sky opens up and angels come down and touch your amp !!!!

well after reading all of the great reviews,i was expecting greatness! but no matter what pedal I put in front of or behind it took some high end out of the signal .even in the effects loop it did the same. it is good for some things,but not so good as a 'leave it on' pedal.

BUY 2 OF THESE! Killer tone and boost

Product Review
I already had one of these, and loved the tone when I had it on for solo boost. I found myself using it and turning down my guitar volume to keep the booster's nice tone. I got a second one to leave on all the time, and use the other for the boost- it's THAT GOOD! With the internal switches, you get tone and boost options to fine tune your sound. Made in America. I have tried ALL the boost pedals and this is the best one- hands down! Everything they say about it is true. I don't know why EP doesn't make one with 2 of these in it, like all us pros are doing by buying 2 pedals. I would pay $200 for that version, as long as it had 2 ins/outs for different routing options of the signal! Oh well, buy TWO of these, and you will love your sound. My Orange Rockerverb's effect loop loves this unit, and last night at the gig, I found using 2 of these (1 for tone, the other for boosting solos) made my sound absolutely shimmering and clear. This is my favorite pedal and my secret weapon.

That thing you've been looking for

Product Review
This is definitely a case of "big things come in small packages." I bought this pedal because I was in need of a transparent boost, but I got oh so much more. After six months, I now own two- one on the end of my chain as a boost and another directly following that always stays on. This might sound ridiculous, unnecessary, frivolous.. Call it what you will. When that little blue light comes on, something magical happens to your signal. This might sound contradictory when we're talking about a "transparent boost," but it's real. It changes nothing about the character of your guitar or any other effects, but it energizes your sound with the intangible "it." If you're a lead guitarist, you need one. If you're a rhythm guitarist that wants to sonically sneak attack your lead guitarist with awesomeness, you need one. If you play guitar, you need one. Heck, I might just get one for my mom for Christmas.
