Xotic RC Booster V2

[@BTBystrom]

Had this pedal for some years now and loooove it! Just got me the "Soul Driven" to combine with it and man they are meant for each other! I also have the SL-Drive on my board to get more hi gain sound so now I'm well dressed for any kind of music :)

[@pdbordelon]

I bought this pedal and boost/stack it with a Wampler Tumnus....sounds glorious! Best boost pedal out there, professional, get it!!

[@rickmilam413]

When I want to hear what something really sounds like, at its best, this is where I come to. No hype, just great sound, great playing and a reminder of how good I'm not :-)

[@popintothechemist]

Rick Milam thanks so much Rick! That mad my day!

[@paulduke9296]

I love Xotic's line of pedals... I just ordered the RCv2 this morning.... Great demo!!

[@popintothechemist]

Paul Duke I love them too. I have most of them still. They just work. Love them

[@paulduke9296]

Yup and you really hear how transparent they are with a Strat... Great playing!

[@joshbabbitt9243]

@@popintothechemist hey Mike, sorry for commenting on an older video here. I love going back and watching demos of killer pedals! Anyhow, I was really curious to know or see what your current pedalboard looks like. Is there any recent vids available on that or even pics? Would love to see what your go-to's for everything are. You get such a killer tone with basically everything..so, I'd love to see which piece stuck with you on your board.

I got the SH copper model earlier this year and it is absolutely my favorite drive pedal. great job on the review!

[@popintothechemist]

MrDonc78 thanks for watching. I love this pedal

[@exploreguitar684]

Is the Scott henderson version exactly the same? besides it has no led knob on gain2 knob? thx

[@thiagomartinelli267]

@@exploreguitar684 Yes. The SH and the RC V2 are the same

[@kevsonic]

What a great McLaughlin tune, and well played! Pedal sounds dynamite, too!

[@dulkim8887]

great bassline Mike!

[@58lespaul]

Beautiful playing. And the pedal's a keeper.

[@FxBrawler]

How I would love to know the theory that you do... amazing fluidity.

[@bassplayer10]

Awesome. beautiful tone. Will buy pedal.

[@popintothechemist]

bassplayer10 it's worth every penny

[@LanoCCD]

Esse guitarrista é incrível! Qualquer coisa na mão dele soa bem.

[@dapperdanman1956]

Really great booster!

[@777Yoni]

Nice to wake up to some John McLaughlin. I am ready for the day.

[@TheArchiveOfWonder]

+bruce johnson Name of the tune?

[@ozfrosty]

"Follow Your Heart" from My Goal's Beyond

[@777Yoni]

In addition to the My Goal's beyond version mentioned by Mike Fitz, there is a jazz quartet version on Extrapolation called "Arjen's Bag." Both versions are great, but that jazz version gets a tad nutty in spots.

[@danieldesjardins6615]

@@777Yoni Absolutely...with the great John Surman on sax.

[@dejanostojic5496]

Sjajna pedala za one koji hoce da sacuvaju zvuk svog cevastog pojacala a dodaju samo malo punoce u ton

[@alexisalescio1562]

Mike,you are fantastic as aver!

[@popintothechemist]

Alexis Alescio thanks!

[@MikkelKelsoFrandsen]

How would you compare the looking glass to the RC Booster ?

[@vicssoera_baia3813]

beautiful price ofcourse

[@damiancirelli9030]

Monk! Made my day!

[@wellder_augusto]

awesome!!!!

[@MrAxman53]

Just got one of these. Great pedal, tonally speaking. But, gee, could they have put the gain 2 control in a worse position? It's impossible to adjust without moving every other control and you can't even see where it's set because of the translucent indicator. Ugh!

[@lucaszembrzuski]

MAD props for John Mclaughlin! (@_@)

[@Psekupsrock]

Just 2 rc in one pedal ?

[@popintothechemist]

Psekupsrock no. Second switch adds gain to the original stage

[@CamposCaster]

What is the difference between this one and the Henderson RC?

[@popintothechemist]

CarlosCaster no difference. Just cosmetic

[@TheCandyman316]

Is the first gain stage the same as the original rc? Or is there a difference in tone?

[@jorgetenamusic]

Yeah, nice playing Mike!! What is the difference between this one and the Henderson RC?

[@popintothechemist]

jorgetenamusic no difference. Just cosmetic

[@jorgetenamusic]

Mike Hermans thanks!!

[@Arm.W]

Screaming Blue Monk lol

[@sylwestersosniak220]

🙂🙂🙂

[@michaelkupfer3723]

Is this like an updated EP Booster or something completely different?

[@oldtimer99]

Too bad you cannot see Gain2 values

[@Martin_Tudela_Orsi]

Gain 2 es un grano en la espalda, y los 2 switches tan juntos es una pésima idea a mi gusto. Me quedo con la V1.

[@joemanganese]

The fuzz is not good for an overdrive . It stinks. I own one, and with humbuckers it sucks. This pedal farts out as nobody else.

[@MintStiles]

What fuzz? I don't see any fuzz nor any characteristics suggesting it sounds like a fuzz. Sounds pretty good as a low to mid gain drive to me.

[@vicssoera_baia3813]

?😢

[@funkymonk1985K]

How does this compare to the 18v bb preamp? It sounds like the 2nd channel is similar to the BB but maybe this is more open and less compressed sounding?

[@wellder_augusto]

awesome!!!!

[@popintothechemist]

Wellder Augusto thanks!
