Playing guitar in a few different groups means I need a variety of tones from smooth and natural, to gritty and heavy. Using the BB Plus and AC Booster provides with me with countless overdrive/distortion tones, and they are the best I've heard out of any of the stompboxes I've used. Xotic pedals sound so natural, and their sound fits effortlessly into my rig even when I need to make a guitar change. With everything these pedals do, they will be on my board for a long time.
