Xotic EP-Pro Boost/Volume Effect Pedal

Xotic has made the EP Booster more expressive with the EP-Pro Boost/Volume Effect Pedal, a volume pedal with their signature boost on tap, featuring fine tuning to get more response out of what may fall after: amp, pedalboard, effects loop, modeler—you name it.

Fit inside a lightweight and durable aluminum chassis, the EP-Pro packs volume expression and tunable boosting into one convenient package. The volume pedal portion is topped with rubber pads to prevent slipping, while the nylon pivot design, utilized in previous XV models, promises smooth operation with adjustable torque. Behind the pedal, you'll find a momentary switch that controls the boost, a FET circuit with internal dip-switching to toggle between true bypass or buffered signal bypass. The placement allows for independent control from the volume, and keeps in mind board space by omitting another pesky platform to house a lone button.

The EP Booster is beloved by many players (and we're sure you're one of them), and the day is finally here for fabulous fine tuning. Found on the side of the enclosure, volume, gain, treble, and bass knobs are found to give that much more excitement to your favorite boost. Set the volume to where you would normally on an EP Booster and use the pedal as a 2-in-1, or get expressive and blend that EP goodness into your stock signal. Ride the volume to feed the Xotic tone into your pedalboard or effects loop, or crank the gain and use the two band EQ to turn your boost into a drive; you've never heard, or felt, the EP Booster like this.

Choices for application are endless—breathe life straight into your amp and push it harder, or put it at the front of your pedalboard to give your drives and whatnots more "oomf". Better yet, try it in the middle of your board for fine tuning after your dirt, or even to boost more of that signal into time based effects. Put it in your effects loop to shape the power stage to add extra shine and presence. Put it in front of a digital platform to reinvigorate the analog sound that could be missing. Put it anywhere!

Whether you're looking for a more nuanced volume control, or you're an EP Booster enjoyer looking for expanded controls, the Xotic EP-Pro Boost/Volume Effect Pedal is guaranteed to deliver.
