Description
The AC Booster V2 earned its reputation as a pedalboard workhorse by doing the unglamorous thing well: reacting to how you actually play. Dig in and it pushes into grit; back off and it cleans up like a real tube amp responding to pick dynamics. Two gain stages cover the ground from a whisper of edge to genuinely pushed distortion, so it works equally well as an always-on tone sweetener or a stompable dirt box.
- Dual gain channels — switch between a subtle, transparent overdrive voice and a thicker, more saturated one without changing pedals.
- Active two-band EQ — treble and bass controls with ±15dB of range give you real corrective power, not just tone-shaving.
- Four-pole DIP switch bank on the side unlocks: 6dB compression for a tighter, more controlled feel; a Classic/Modern voicing switch (original AC Booster character vs. more gain and articulation); and a choice of +6dB mid boosts at 500Hz or 2kHz to push the pedal forward in a mix or cut through a dense band.
- 9V or 18V DC operation — run it standard, or add the Xotic Voltage Doubler for extra headroom and clearer top-end when you need more dynamic range.
- Built to survive the road — a compact 110mm x 60mm x 50mm metal chassis at 270g keeps it small on a crowded board while standing up to gig-night abuse.
Because so much of its personality lives in that DIP switch bank, the AC Booster V2 rewards experimentation — set it once for your amp and guitar, and it becomes a set-and-forget drive that just makes everything sound more alive.
