About this pedal

Bass RC Booster V2 applies Xotic’s transparent clean-boost circuit to bass guitar, correcting for signal loss and EQ limitations common on vintage basses without masking the instrument’s natural tone. A +/-15dB two-band active EQ shapes the sound further, and an added gain-2 stage drives the amp harder for fatter, more organic low end. Runs at 9-18V for extra headroom.
