Xotic EP Booster usage

[alboz28]

Hello,

Anyone using an EP Boost in front or post the FX8 ?

Is there a similar substitute in the FX8 that would achieve the same result?

As always, thank you for your help !

isn't that an echoplex preamp? there's the SDD which is the preamp from those rack delays the Edge used to use.

I have one of those on my grab-and-go pedalboard. I never turn it off! It's always on the low gain setting, but it just sounds so good. I should probably put it in the back of my AxeFX rack as an experiment.

Let me know what you think when you try it - I remember it being an always on pedal and having some sort of magic going on. I sold off everything when I got the FX8 and I think I am missing it - idk

So I tried the EP booster with my rig and decided that it is not needed with the FX8

There are so many options in the FX8 between the drives, enhancers and EQ's that I was able to sweeten some of my presets

Thank you for the SDD Preamp tip !

SDD?

SDD?

It's based on the preamp section from the classic Korg SDD-3000 rack mount effects unit. The same one The Edge is well known for using.
