AC Booster v2
The Xotic AC Booster v2 is a captivating overdrive/preamp pedal that channels the responsive, touch-sensitive magic of a great tube amplifier. This newly redesigned version builds upon the acclaimed legacy of the original AC Booster, delivering a wide palette of rich, complex overdrive tones. What makes the AC Booster v2 so special is its uncanny ability to react to your playing dynamics. Dig in hard, and you'll be rewarded with a thick, gritty crunch that sings with harmonics. Back off the strings, and the pedal seamlessly cleans up, giving you a sweet, crystalline clean boost. This nuanced response lets you shape your tone simply by adjusting your pick attack, unlocking a whole new level of expressiveness. The AC Booster's secret sauce lies in its carefully voiced circuitry, which reproduces the harmonically-complex gain structure of a vintage tube amp. This results in an organic, amp-like overdrive that adds remarkable clarity and detail to your sound, without becoming harsh or brittle. Guitarists in search of that elusive "cranked amp" tone will find the AC Booster v2 to be an indispensable tool. While the AC Booster has become a favorite of many high-profile players, including Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, its allure transcends genre boundaries. Whether you play blues, rock, or beyond, this versatile pedal can inject your sound with the perfect balance of grit and refinement.
