Xotic EP-booster

Since before I go the Klon & Skreddy Screwdriver pedals, I had been wondering what I’d use as a lead boost. The Xotic EP-Boost caught my eye for a couple reasons. Apparently it sounds fantastic, Small footprint (its about half the width of your regular Boss effect), and I love when pedals have the power plug on the top (instead of on the sides), it makes placement on the board much easier. – and for the time being, I think i’m set. This pedal configuration is wicked.

So i’ve had my eye out for one of these pedals around Toronto for a while now, but for some reason they’re hard to come by. The only way I could have gotten one, is ordering from the US, or from an eBay store. LUCKILY Lauzon’s Music had one in stock (last one – yesssss! score!). So I picked it up. Can’t wait to get it on the board.

So here is how i’m going to set things up:

Turbo Tuner > Fulltone MDV-2 > Skreddy Screwdriver > Klon Centaur > Empress SuperDelay > Xotic EP-Booster > Divided by 13 JRT 9/15

I’m using the Klon as a mild overdrive to give my amp a bit more of a kick. I’m running my Divided by 13 JRT 9/15 pretty hot, using a Weber Micro Mass attenuator so its already cookin’ – the Klon just gives it a bit more oomph. The Skreddy is giving me over the top fuzz/drive tones – big fat loud and raunchy.

I’m lovin’ this setup, can’t wait to get the Xotic on my board! Zing!!
