Xotic | EP-Pro | Volume & Booster Pedal
Melding the EP Booster’s Plex-style preamp with comprehensive tone-shaping features and real-time volume expression, the Xotic EP-Pro gives players refined control over their sound and dynamics. This flexible volume/boost guitar pedal centers around the concept of FTR — Feel, Touch, Response — and highlights how your tone isn’t defined by its frequency balance or distortion character but rather by how it interacts with your dynamics and phrasing. In other words, tone isn’t separate from the player — it’s a vital part of your performance. You can integrate the EP-Pro into your rig in myriad ways: in front of your amp to add extra spank to your input signal, in your effects loop for power-stage tone shaping, at the end of your effects chain for overall sonic refinement, or in front of your digital modeller to infuse it with analog warmth and responsiveness. To put it simply, the EP-Pro is a powerful tool that not only enhances the sound of your rig but also elevates the entire tactile experience of playing. Once you add the EP-Pro to your setup, it’s a sure bet that it will become a crucial, always-on component in your effects chain. Delivering unmatched versatility through an expressive, player-focused design, the EP-Pro doesn’t just shape your tone; it completely transforms the way you connect with your instrument.
Intuitive controls, expressive performance
Xotic integrated the iconic Plex-style preamp booster into a volume pedal. it’s incredibly intuitive — and expressive — to use. Its heavy-duty Boost momentary switch toggles between Boost and Bypass modes, the latter of which can be set to either true bypass or buffered bypass. The 2-band EQ, comprising Treble and Bass knobs, gives you plenty of fine-tuning tonal control — no fiddling with internal DIP switches required. And, of course, you get a Gain control, which provides you with up to 20dB of boost for adding volume or pushing your amp into overdrive. You get a treadle, bolstered by a smooth nylon pivot design, for expressive, real-time volume control with adjustable torque. Lastly, the EP-Pro comes housed in an aluminum chassis that’s both lightweight and rugged, making it as durable on the road as it is indispensable in your rig.
