Re: RC Booster
www.pedalgeek.com has em, they're made by a company called xotic effects.
Very, very cool little booster pedal, I might add. I'm lookin to pick one up myself.
They go for around $186 or so new.

Very nice clean boost. I had one for a while and really liked what it did. It's a great boost or a leave on pedal.

Re: RC Booster
OK, I found it at Pedalgeeks. I also heard one locally and did'nt get it because I was looking for a totally clean unit, so I bought the Duncan booster which is pretty good. But I may have to rethink this and compare the two. I'm looking to have a perfectly clean boost, but also I'm looking for a blues pedal to replace or compliment my Boss blues pedal, but one that will give me a very cool smooth full tone with little distortion. The Boss blues driver cuts of the full round tone, and the RC keeps it, but was'nt quite as clean as the SD, me thinks with out comparing in the same room. So I'm also looking for any other suggestions for a smooth full sounding blues pedal, and would the RC be good a good choice?

Re: RC Booster
Keep in mind that even if a booster is a "clean" boost, meaning that it does not clip the guitar's signal within the circuit, the amount of boost will determine if you get any distortion or not. This is because that boosted signal is now hitting the front of the amp. If that amount of boost is greater than the available clean headroom in the preamp, guess what, you'll get clipping.
So there is a fine line that you have to watch. The more clean headroom your amp has, the better off you'll be, if totally clean is what you're looking for.

Re: RC Booster
Experimenting more with this pedal and maybe comparing it to the other similar xotic models should determine my decision.
Thanks for the expertise!
