Xotic Effects EP Booster

"We've got the EP Booster that just seems to work best. We don't really experience a lot of signal loss, weirdly. You would've thought with all these pedals, even if you compare it with the strength of the amps, it is beyond me why there's even any signal coming out at the end of this. It really is, but the EP Booster seemed to give the best of itself at that point in the chain," says Josh Klinghoffer's guitar tech.

In this picture, captured during a 5SOS rehearsal in London, and posted to Zoom Sound Factory's [Instagram](http://www.online-instagram.com/media/977456327251097211_480299252), Luke Hemmings' pedalboard shows that he is using a Xotic EP Booster pedal.

At 3:11 of this video there's a shot of Phil's pedalboard and the EP Booster can be seen. Phil says "I have the EP Booster, this is what happens, um depending on the volume of the amp - sometimes it’s too loud like in here I try not to make it too loud so I use a little bit of the EP Booster."

Among the other pedals listed, EP Booster was also mentioned in this interview with Music Radar.

The EP Booster can be seen next to his compressor, Deep Six by Walrus Audio. Picture taken before their performance at riot fest.

“It’s based on the Echoplex booster and I pretty much have it on for all solos - but nearly set to zero. It makes the notes pop out a little more and gives things an extra push over the cliff edge!”

As seen under "Main Live Pedalboard," on Bryan's [website](http://www.bryanbeller.com/cms/index.php?page=gear), he uses an Xotic Effects EP Booster pedal.

The pedal is connected to audio loops 1-5 on the RJM switcher. The output on the RJM switcher feeds the Marshall and this is the DRY signal flow.

"Shane Johnson also built McKee’s bass rig. The goal was to be bulletproof yet still offer plenty of sonic options. His pedal drawer houses a Malekko B:Assmaster, Brimstone Audio Crossover Distortion XD-2, Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synth, and an Xotic EP Booster." -Premier Guitar; Rig Rundown with Imagine Dragons

Xotic Effects EP Booster Pedal

Controlled by MAMI's tech, Motchy. > 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. -Xotic Effects

In this 2016 Guitar World article James is quoted saying: "I like to use a lot of low-wattage, old tube amps when I record. My obsession with that actually started with the Silvertones from the mid-late Sixites. On stage, I’ve been using a [Fender] Princeton and Custom Supro Thunderbolt. Guitar wise, I have a Gibson 330 I record a lot with, and my stage guitar is a 135. I also have a Nineties SG I use as a second guitar. I also use a lot of different things for pedals. Lately, I’ve been using the JHS Colour box and Xotic EP Booster to get the amps where I need them to be."

"I know it doesn't look it but, I AM making progress!!"

Michael Franzino uploaded a picture of his pedalboard to Instagram and the photo contained this pedal.

This is a great pedal designed to emulate the front end of an old Echoplex. It’s not an echo device, but rather a warmly voiced clean volume booster. It makes bad amps sound decent and good amps sound great. I love it! I typically put it right before the volume pedal in the chain.

The EP Booster Pedal can be seen at 4:08 of this video where Jeff Owen of Tenth Avenue North walks through the gear he uses on tour and in the studio during the "No Man Is An Island" tour.

"My pedal board tends to change over time. Right now I’m using: Xotic EP Booster - awesome line boost, very smooth."

> Big thanks to @friedman_amplifiers [Friedman Amps] for such a killer board, with a built in buffer. @jimdunlopusa [Dunlop] #mxrpedals [MXR], @seymourduncanpickups [Seymour Duncan and #pedals, and @stringslinger479 [Dinesh Lekhraj] for making it so clean. Left lots of space.. we will see how it all changes. #thankful #godisgood

Pedais & Efeitos: Qual o seu pedal favorito? Lúcio Maia: "Não tenho. Gosto muito do OCD e do EP Booster da Xotic."

Very likely that this is the pedal placed inbetween the SlideRIG and Flashback Mini. Judging from the blue light and the single transparent knob.
