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.

Pedalboard seen at min. 3:33.

Xotic Effects EP Booster Pedal seen here, top row right on Paul Banks' pedalboard. He says, "I like my bass tone to be a little bit juicier than the straight amp sound." (original source [here](http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/rig-tour-interpol-618675), article dated March 31, 2015)

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

"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

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."

Dan Steinhardt (from That Pedal Show) posted a picture of that pedal on a board on instagram, mentioning it was build for Graham: "A few tweaks but finished this #pedalboard and delivered it to its new home with none other than #grahamcoxon huge thanks to Joe@thegigrig for being a superstar and helping me get this done"

“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!”

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.

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."

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.

New Dominic's pedals for the Broken Machine tour

It is on his pedalboard that he posted on his Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

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
