Xotic Effects AC Plus Overdrive & Boost

Full Description

Channel A

Channel A is equipped with Volume, Gain, Tone and switchable Boost controls which allow you shape your ideal tone on Channel A independently. The Tone knob allows you to enhance your mid-range and highs, whilst the Boost focuses on tinkering with bass and lows by increasing them up to 3dB for added volume & projection. The tone produced is smooth, warm and still manages to retain the natural, transparent sound of the guitar. Channel A has an overall boosted blues tone, that can be distorted with good levels of gain.

Channel B

Channel B features Volume, Gain, 3-Band EQ including Bass, Mid and Treble, and a Comp switch. The 3-Band EQ offers flexible tone control, and the Comp switch allows you to select soft and hard clipping. With the options for choosing when the sound goes into saturation, you have a wide array of tonal options, as Hard clipping provides smooth, warm overdrive with early breakup and Soft clipping offers late breakup for clean boost.

Combine The Channels

The AC Plus has a A-B switch that allows both channels to be combined to create a thick and full distorted tone. The 3 channels all offer different sounds, tones and experiences with Channel A for a clean boost, Channel B for a focused crunch and A+B for a versatile lead.

About Xotic Effects

Xotic Effects was created in California back in 1996, where the one-man business produced high-quality bass guitars and preamps. 2 years later, Xotic Basses imagined the Robotalk 1 pedal; an ultra-boutique pedal created from scratch. Since then, Xotic have expanded their pedal range, all of which are made using top-quality parts and offer great sound and versatility.

'I just love the AC Plus, it feels great to play on and it sounds great on any amp I played through. This is my favourite distortion pedal out there, just perfect!' - Oz Noy
