Xotic Effects Announces the AC/RC-OZ

A two-in-one pedal designed with input from famed jazz-rock guitarist Oz Noy.

Los Angeles, CA (August 24, 2017) -- The AC/RC-OZ Oz Noy limited-edition pedal from Xotic Effects encapsulates two classic Xotic Effects pedals in one box: the AC Booster and RC Booster. Custom tailored to Ozā€™s preferences, the AC/RC-OZ provides silky smooth amp-like tone with plenty of boost that delivers a magically huge sound! Engaging the AC Booster channel produces classic AC Booster tones with improved circuitry for gain that ranges from minimal overdrive to gritty distortion. Kicking on the RC channel drives the front of the AC channel (exactly how Oz sets it up on his pedalboard) for added harmonics, gain and presence. Each channel features a 2 band EQ with LED activation to indicate that the channel is engaged. ā€œThe magic really happens when you play the RC into the AC because that's when you get a really big sound,ā€ says Oz Noy.

Internationally acclaimed guitarist Oz Noy has been using the AC and RC Boosters since they were first introduced to the market in 2002. They have been a mainstay on his pedalboard and part of his signature sound for many years.

AC/RC-OZ Specs:

  • Stackable gain channels
  • Can be run at 9v or 18v (for more headroom)
  • 2-band EQ per channel with LED activated knobs

Street Price: $196

When the first Moog synthesizer appeared, it freaked out a lot of musiciansā€”not least for the way it blurred the divisions between instruments and their roles. Was it percussion? A keyboard? A reed instrument? Many effects makers build from this philosophical foundation. The Latvian company Gamechanger often seems to revel in itā€”an attitude thatā€™s manifest in the companyā€™s Auto Series pedals, which includes the Auto Reverb.
