What Xotic say about the AH Booster

The AH Booster is a musically delicious harvest natured over more than two decades of friendship between Allen and Xotic it is a versatile overdrive pedal with
Three Different Compression Settings with Full Tonal Controls. The Pedal is based on a legacy AC-Comp pedal which was Allen’s favourite. We have revived its design with modern features such as 9-18 volt operation and improved tonal characteristics for a “tight” yet “smooth” overdriven sound.

  • An Incredible, Touch Responsive Overdrive
  • Adjustable +-15dB Two Band Active EQ
  • Run it at 18v for even more headroom!
  • Resurrection of Allen Hind’s Favourite Pedal with a Modern Twist
  • Treble and bass knobs easily and accurately dial in your ideal tone
  • True Bypass – Advanced circuitry to keep your pedal signal pure and free of noise
  • “Dial in Your Sound…” – Adjustable EQ and DIP switches to dial in treble and presence character.

Boost Pedals

A boost raises signal level without deliberately creating a new effect waveform. Clean boosts emphasise level and headroom, while coloured boosts reshape bass, midrange or treble and may add mild clipping at higher settings. Placed before a gain stage, the extra level changes how that stage distorts; placed later, it can provide a volume lift if sufficient headroom remains.

Tags

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
