Hello Everyone!

Well not new but picked up an Xotic EP Booster two days ago from a friend at work. Never owned a booster pedal but I am amazed at the tone this adds to my rig. Anyone else here have any experience with this pedal? Using it in front of everything but Wah and sounds incredible. Think I like the unity setting best for now! Is there a better spot in my chain to place this pedal?

The Xotic EPB is just about as versatile as the Fulltone OCD, the boost/OD pedal I use. And like you, I've got mine wired as the first effect in my signal chain. The unity gain works best when the pedal in used in conjunction with other devices but when using it as a stand-alone effect, try jacking the gain up a bit. It'll really wake up a tube amp.

Rawk on!

I looked hard at one of those... but got a great deal on a Fulltone GT500 and had to go with that instead. The GT500 is really a double-pedal giving boost, od and distortion possibilities. I was in the market for just a transparent boost though and have heard nothing but good things about that Xotic!

Congrats
