The Xotic EP Booster is a legendary pedalboard staple designed to inject your guitar tone with the unmistakable warmth, sparkle, and multi-dimensional shimmer of a vintage EP-3 echo machine preamp. Celebrated by iconic players like Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, and Eric Johnson, this discrete FET preamp delivers up to +20dB of unadulterated boost that makes your tone so rich and addictive, you will never want to turn it off.
Why Choose the EP Booster?
- Premium Analog Engineering: Built with a discrete FET design and a low impedance output, it ensures shimmering highs and lows without any ear fatigue.
- Internal EQ Tone Sculpting: Features an internal DIP switch with three variations (Default, Unity Gain, and Vintage) to help you choose your boost frequencies and perfectly dial in your signature sound.
