The Roots of Xotic - A Modest Beginning:
The history of Xotic dates back to 1996 in a small garage in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. In its early days, this one-man operation specialized in the production of high-quality bass guitars and bass preamps. It was with the creation of the Tri-Logic bass preamplifier that Xotic began to distinguish itself, laying the foundations for its future success.
The Birth of the Robotalk 1 Pedal:
In 1998, Xotic's discreet side project gave birth to the Robotalk 1, the first pedal stamped with the Xotic name. This innovation set the standard for boutique construction and sound that characterizes Xotic today. It was a watershed event, laying the groundwork for what would become an iconic brand in the effects pedal industry.
Design Philosophy:
Xotic is committed to building all its pedals with the same rigor: top-quality parts, extraordinary durability, and great functionality. This approach is based on the use of components carefully selected and tested by their engineers. It's this methodology that gives their instruments and accessories an artistically satisfying sound, blending innovation and tradition.
Innovation and Sound Quality:
With every pedal, Xotic California reiterates its commitment to sonic excellence. The products are the result of in-depth research and meticulous development, guaranteeing exceptional sonic clarity.
Elegant and robust design:
The design of each pedal reflects a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. Their robust construction makes them resistant to the rigors of intensive use.
