you're gonna have to move that picture... that's just bad planning.

I had much the same thought, unless it's a picture of the mother-in-law that's conveniently covered up !

OK, forgive my total ignorance, but I'm going to ask anyway.... :oops:

What exactly does the Xotic RC Booster do? Is it comparable to something like the DOD 250 or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether?

It's a clean booster Phil, with an active bass/treble EQ. But it also has a gain control so you can dial in a bit of dirt if you want it. It's like a really subtle low gain overdrive come clean boost.

If that makes sense!

So in a way it simply "makes the sound better"? Sounds like you could almost just leave it on all the time!

If you look at the picture at the start of the thread, Sam, there's the top edge of a picture frame peeking out just above the amp head (it's not a handle!)

Yep, a lot of people use it that way I think. I use it as a solo booster to make the soud really 'stand out'.

My neightbours are pretty laid back and no-one has complained about he noise. Yet......

Hey, twinfan, I've got a Matamp cab and the Xotic RC and BB too! Great minds think alike, although I've only got a wussy 1x12 in my living room.

I can't switch the RC off - it really is an all-purpose tone enhancer and pushes the front end of an amp beautifully. I consider it an integral part of my amp: it just happens to be on the outside ...
