EP Booster

What do the tones of renowned guitarist such as Page, EVH and Johnson have in common? They all used the legendary echo machine EP-3 as a pre-amp.
We've captured that magic in a new Xotic Effects pedal, the EP Booster.

We've used the highest quality parts available with a discrete FET design and low impedance output, the EP Booster provides up to +20dB of unadulterated boost with multi-dimensional, shimmering highs and lows, and no ear fatigue. The internal DIP switches let you choose the boost frequencies, and EQ settings.

Housed in a small 3.5"x 1.5" x 1.5" case with blue LED and transparent knob, the EP Booster can be powered by 9-volt up to 18-volts.

A simple pure boost that pays reverence to the magical EP-3 and captures the celebrated tones of the world's most famous players.

Musician's comments

The Xotic EP Booster is by far the best clean boost I have heard.
It loves vintage Gibsons.

You've done it again - The EP Booster is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I really like what it does. I've been just leaving it on all the time and it just makes my guitar sound better. Congratulations on a great pedal!!!

The EP booster is the kind of pedal that surpasses all overdrive pedals, and takes its place among the short list of pedals that "wake up" and if needed "explode" the front end of any amplifier. The sound is natural-and not hashy, open- and not compressed. The key word-natural.

the EP booster warms up any guitar signal. It turns even an average amplifier into a warm, vintage sounding tone. It adds a bit of "natural" sounding compression...i love it.. I have two. With the internal dip switches you can modify the sound to fit your personal set up. I have one set a little darker than the other..and use one in front and one behind my AC Booster...the possibilities are many...and most important, musical..

The EP Booster is a fantastic booster......more than just a clean boost, it adds character without sounding harsh. I use it in the vintage mode and run it at 18 volts and I have been loving it!!

I was in Tokyo with my trio recently and the guys from Xotic brought an EP Booster for me to try. I plugged it into a small solid state practice amp and..... Wow!I was blown away at how it expanded the spectrum of the tone. I love how it warms up the signal without distortion and makes my sound sparkle. I used it the very next day at The Cotton Club, where we were performing for four nights. I never turned it off!

I used Xotic EP Booster in the new "6 string theory" record I just did last week, Very cool!Thanks for all the cool stuff man. I use it all in the studio as I just use little pedals for recording. No rack stuff at all.
