I started using the RC Boos maybe about 20 years ago. I was looking for a pedal that I could put in my guitar and my gig bag. With the way travel was after 9-11 I was looking at you have to play a lot of backline, amplifiers and things. I was looking for something to work with. At that time I was playing a lot of strats and tellies and things. To have this consistent tone and be able to tweak and get different sounds, more treble, less bass or vice versa. That's really what appealed to me first. I first heard about the RC Boos from a friend of mine Josh Schmitt who's used the RC Boos for a long time. I used the RC Boos as a leave on pedal. Also I would use the pedal in live or in the studio but I would use it in a way where it would be not mushy low end too. I was playing a lot of rock and roll with the fabulous Thunderbirds and it called for a really clean, tight sound. When you take the bass off and add a little treble it really makes those low notes really snappy. That was really important back then. Now it's more important to have more of a thicker throatier sound. On the high strings I'm doing more of my own thing. To me the RC Boos was sort of like the first of that style. Being able to have this really nice treble and bass control on there as well as sounding really musical. It just adds presence. When you turn it on it just makes your sound just sound like this beautiful shimmer without being too bright. It really is, the EQ is really set in a spot where it's really musical and not too much treble or too much bass. Real guitar friendly.
