RC Booster Classic (20th Anniversary)
The 20th-anniversary reissue of Xotic's original RC Booster, the transparent clean-boost pedal that helped define the boutique-pedal era.
About this pedal
Twenty years after its original release, the RC Booster Classic brings back the pedal that helped launch Xotic’s reputation for transparent, always-on boost. It reproduces the original circuit’s super-transparent 20dB+ clean boost and +/-15dB two-band active EQ, letting players strengthen a guitar’s natural harmonics and compensate for signal loss from long cables or crowded pedalboards without coloring the core tone.
