Xotic released the AH Booster, a boost pedal developed with guitarist Allen Hinds, the company said. The maker describes the pedal as an evolution of the AC Comp, which it has discontinued.

According to Xotic, "the AH Booster is a refined evolution of the now-discontinued AC Comp design"¹. The company's product history page lists the AC Booster, introduced in September 2002, as a yellow pedal with more than 20dB of boost, true bypass and treble and bass controls¹. The page does not give the AH Booster's controls, specifications or price.

The AH Booster is a boost pedal, a category the site covers on its Boost Pedals page.

Xotic's about page traces the company to a garage in the San Fernando Valley in 1996, with Prosound Communications Inc. established in August 2000 as a parent company to acquire the Xotic brand¹. The page also lists a March 2025 entry for an AC Booster V2¹.
