Really good pedal, does what's supposed to.
I use it with strats and teles, all ash+maple, both single coils and hbuckers. I use it into a fender twin reverb head with custom cabinet/loudspeakers. Being the twin reverb a really clean amp (in fact, it's made just for cleans) I needed a little more bite, something I can get on another head, an old marshall 75 reverb when used 'clean'. Also I needed to have my basses more spicy, less rounded. I could achieve all of this with the RC booster. Just added a little volume, a little gain, a little treble and basses and voilà! Far more bite, juicy sounds, clear yet powerful basses, very good. And you have a really large range of combinations with the 4 controls, depends on guitars, amps, stlles you have.
The second gain of v2 is also very usefull for slight more volume/gain, if setted quite low.
Instead, I found it quite unsusable if setted far from the gain 1 value: it adds really really too much volume, so you cannot really exploit its full power without having too much difference in volume switching on and off gain 2 (again, if setted quite higher than gain 1).
Though, it can be usefull even high-setted if you plan to use the pedal always with gain 2 on. Anyway, gain 2 adds some more sound options to v1 of the pedal, so good to have.
The best way to exploit gain2 is to set it really news gain1 value, whichever it is. This way you'll have little or no volume gap and could use it for different saturation or slight volume boost. I really like the sound I have with gain1 and 2 both to the max. Very very warm and organic.
Overall, this is a very very usefull pedal if you want to reshape your cleans giving them more spice, bite, clarity, I think a little compression too, or if you want to add grit to clean amps, great both for rhythms or solos.Read full review...

Wanted to love it....
I really wanted to like this but it's just lifeless and sterile to my ear. That may be be just great for some but just did not work for me or my application which was a post dirt volume boost. I tried it up front and it's better there but I have a Fire Bottle there and it's not moving so went back to my old trusty Boss G7 at post followed by an EP Booster as always on for color. Still it's a well built quality pedal.Read full review...

Cool , and well built treble / bass boost for electric guitar with loads of gain/ harmonics on tap
works well as a clean boost for a clean channel. but stands out for the crunch or especially lead channel where it acts to enhance the output , and harmonic content of the overall sound . not as good for a single channel amp for overdrive settings .Read full review...

Scott Henderson!!
only used it a couple of times but it sounds great! Plenty of gain to add to front end of your amp!
two channel versatility. Sounds good!

Best booster in market
This is one of the best boosters in the market, i have tried many but this one is top on the list. Works pefect for clean sounds and gives that sweet crisp sound.
Highly recommended

best pedal booster
Love it, specially when i play multiple guitars. i can switch to another guitar and only change the sound with the RC Bosster so the guitar can sound like i wanted without changing all my effects.

Just what I was looking for
Does exactly what it says it will do and with no coloring of your tone when set up correctly.

Transparent Sound
Great tone and a pedal to constantly keep on. The 2nd gain is useful for driving pedals.
