In the early 2000s, during the dawn of boutique effects pedals, a legendary model slowly climbed its way up to become a staple in the industry.
Even after 20 years since its release, the charm of the "RC-Booster" has not faded.
Let's take a closer look at the development and evolution of this iconic pedal!

The 20th anniversary “RC-Booster” is tuned with the sound in mind of the “Initial Version”
The 20th anniversary special RC-Booster was just released with a white powder-coated look that is familiar to longtime fans. While it is positioned as a reproduction model with a “return to the roots” concept, the circuit has been completely reexamined with modern components and the power supply can now handle 18V, making it a much more versatile model than the initial version 1. In other words, it is now the newest and most nostalgic “RC-Booster”. The first 1,000 units will be sold as a luxurious special edition bundle with various perks such as the “Classic Limited Edition” (photo 2), and later on, the regular version of the body alone will continue to be sold at the same price.

“As a model made to commemorate the 20th anniversary since its release, I compared it not only to the initial model but also to other units from different periods. Although I thought they didn’t aim for a complete reproduction of the initial type, rather they tried to recreate its unique mellow tone while keeping the thickness in the bass that was added after the Scott Henderson model. I feel that it has its own individuality. It returns to its roots while being more lively than the initial unit and has the super-low sound that supports the bottom after the Scott Henderson model. Therefore, it can be said that it is a model that collects the best parts of all versions of the “RC-Booster”. Compared to the “V2”, it has a mellower atmosphere, so it may be the perfect model for modern music like neo-soul.” – Daisuke Kokuda
