Recommend me a Treble Booster

Baltar · December 25, 2011, 07:15:59 PM

Well I cooked my LPB-1 trying to get cute by adding a different LED. I was needing a Rangemaster clone anyway. I'm looking at the Maritime Analog Bullfrog Boost, A Fulltone Fat-Boost 1, Homebrew Germania, or maybe Dunwhich is doing one as well. Or should I just get a kit? Kinda burned out on building.

I have one of these and like it a lot. 2 modes (treble and vol boost) make this effect pretty versatile.

If you fix the LPB, you can swap the input caps to make it a Screaming Bird treble boost.

The damn switch broke off the board from that flexi-wire shit. I'm burnt out on building, I might go for the Homebrew or the Maritime after all.

HB Germania is supposedly very good along with Analogman Beano boost.

Damn Dude!!!!

I know, it was my fault. I didn't lose any $, got the Torn's Peaker in a trade for a pedal that was a gift. So no money lost. Oh well. Lesson learned.

This could be an option, apparently it's based on the Rangemaster:

Don't know where you are but if it's not cost prohibitive I'd take the busted pedal off your hands

Rager, I'm so broke right now, it's not even funny. I couldn't even afford the $8-10 to ship it to the States from north of Toronto. I'm gonna hold on to it for now, might have Ronsound look at it when I ship him my Screaming Tree.

No prob dude. here's to a more prosperous future.

There's not a massive amount of difference between an LPB-1 and a Rangemaster. You could get a proper footswitch and re-use the LPB-1's PCB, case and jacks and have your rangemaster for the cost of a switch, transistor and a few components.

if you are broke and would rather spend the time rather than the money. Probably cost you about $10 US or CAD.
