2. RC Booster – Really Clean Booster
Product Details
Price: $259
The best characteristic of the RC Booster is that it has no character at all.
By connecting the RC booster between your guitar and other effects pedals, it will sustain your original guitar sound all the way to amp, as well as emphasizing any effects sound characteristics. It also acts as a buffer, fighting against signal degradations caused by long cable runs and electromagnetic noise.
The GAIN control has the characteristics of a clean tube amp and by fine tuning it you can create a bold and smooth sound which resembles the sound of an amp with its volume cranked.
In addition to its GAIN control, the RC booster also comes equipped with VOLUME, TREBLE and BASS controls that allow you to contour your sound anyway you like. Switching is true bypass, eliminating any signal interference when it is switched out. It also works great with electric bass guitar and acoustic guitar.
The RC Preamp is all hand wired and hand crafted in the USA and can be used with AC adaptor or (V battery (included).
Xotic pedals are used by Steve Lukather, Lee Ritenour, Brad Paisley, Rex Goh and a host of other great guitarists.
“I have been using the RC Booster. I really like to use it on solos when I want a fatter sound without getting gained out. It is a great pedal!” – Brad Paisley

K+K Pickups
Product Details
Price: $139 Pure Mini
If you haven't heard about K+K pickups yet, please check them out. Besides installing these pickups into all of my acoustic guitars, I am also an official distributor. I will be putting up a complete price list soon. The K+K flagship Pure Mini sells for $139 and that is with FREE SHIPPING anywhere in Australia. Complete pickup range is available.
K+K Pure Mini
The Pure Mini is a passive system for steel string guitar, with three pickup heads and an endpin jack. It is a transducer system only and does not include a battery or on-board electronics. Don't be fooled by the sound of some competitors' "thin sounding" passive systems--the Pure Systems are definitely different. They sound full and rich and have sufficient output to drive most amps and PA systems directly!
What are the advantages of the Pure pickups over undersaddle pickups?
The special Pure surface transducers transmit a significant portion of the soundboard because they are not as close to the strings as an undersaddle pickup. An undersaddle pickup mostly amplifies the sound made by the guitar strings. There will not be much difference in sound if you play a cheap $50 guitar or a handcrafted $5,000 instrument. With the Pure Western pickups, not only are each of the three transducers designed to pick up a specific string pair, but they also "listen" to the sound of your soundboard. The transducer elements are not under pressure and therefore do NOT sound percussive or harsh or quacky no matter if you play hard or soft. The Pure Western reproduces all strings nicely balanced. Undersaddle pickups often have problems with string-to-string balance. Unlike undersaddle pickups which passively often sound thin and trebled-only, the passive Pure Western puts out a nicely balanced, warm, full range signal.
