RC Booster vs. Fulltone Fat Boost

[A440]

both of these in the same price range.

the RC may be a bit more versatile with it's bass/treb controls?

any feedback regarding either of these is appreciated!

I like my Fat Boost better, seems to thicked other OD pedals better IMO.

I had a Fat Boost for two years; within 4 days of getting the RC Boost, the Fat Boost was sold to my bass buddy.

The RC just does more better IMHO. Sold me in a huge way. Felt more organic and sounded better across the spectrum from lows to highs.

Just my opinion.

I have had Rc-booster for a year and I still think it smokes , I use voodoo1 for a milder clean boost with a vibe to it.
Im looking forward to hear more about the OCD Mthompson is really hyped about

the RC's just way more versatile than the fat-boost.

The RQ really works and you can dial in some pretty decent sounds using it.

Tons of volume and drive on tap - -just an overall good thing to have, in my humble opinion of course

RC Boost

Yes the EQ on RC is great
When you boost the treble it sounds beutifull to me , no icy at all.
Just defined tube distortion
The basses are really tight and punchy.

I'll join the chorus...had a Fatboost, thought I loved it until I got an RC. The Fatboost is long gone...

I like the thing the Fatboost does with single coils.

The RC Booster was the 9th clean boost I bought and it was the one that made me stop looking for a clean boost. I've been using it for close to a year now and no other clean boost is as versatile or sounds as good in my rig. The hands-down winner for me. Other I tried include:

Rx Germ
Fatboost
Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster
BJF Baby Pink
Nick Greer Sonic Boom
Nick Greer Royal Fromage
Z Vex SHO
Barber Launch Pad

yea,

i too like what the Fat Boost does with singles. the RC is a great pedal, but it feels different under my fingers. almost a more woody, stiffer feel, no matter the EQ. still, it does make it a heckuva lot more versatile.

either one would make a dooder happy.

i had both of these (among many other boosts). as people have mentioned, both of these are good, but i think they do different things. i liked the way the fatboost fattened up the tone (no pun intended), but the rc was probably a better neutral/clean boost. for what it's worth, i sold the rc boost and kept the fatboost (at least for now). i kept a zvex 2-in-1 for clean boosting.

[also, i do use single coils, so that seems to support the people above who said that the fatboost does much better on them than HB]

thanks guys

Allow me to throw one more into the mix...

Time machine boost. Quieter than Xotic and simply more toneful.

[bmf5150]

im interested in the lynch time machine boost..

 

[A440]

hmm....TMB, ay ?

would prefer the smaller footprint of an mxr size box (I know keeley does the katana).

I have a zoom pd-01 which does a nice clean boost. will have to give that one a try again.

I was in the market for a Fat Boost and Keeley sent me out a Katana...I played one at a show and fell in love with it...before that I was digging the fat boost...both great pedals !
