What Do AM Effects Say?
I wanted to celebrate the creation of my 10th pedal, so I made a special version featuring a high-spec, British-made Mullard OC45 transistor, along with a red LED - the same as in the very first pedal I built.
The Germanium Treble Booster is my personal take on the classic, positive-ground Rangemaster Treble Booster circuit. Each pedal is built around carefully selected vintage germanium transistors, meticulously tested to meet strict specifications for gain, leakage, and noise.
While the tonal heart of the circuit stays true to the original design, I’ve made a few enhancements to improve reliability: additional power filtering ensures low noise levels when used with an isolated power supply, and anti-pop resistors eliminate unwanted noise when the pedal is engaged.
All of this comes housed in a compact 1590B enclosure - perfect for saving valuable space on your pedalboard. Whether you're chasing the iconic tones of the ’60s or looking to add character to a modern setup, this pedal delivers a dynamic response and warm overdrive tones that cut through the mix beautifully.
When placed first in your signal chain, it cleans up gracefully with your guitar's volume knob and can push a cranked amp to a whole new level.
