Nice Treble Booster on SDOTD

[Securb]

I usually don't buy pedals without hearing them but the SDOTD is a BBE Bohemian Treble Boost Pedal for $59. I have the first gen the BBE FREQ Boost and it is amazing with my Fender Silverface and my Marshall. They don't mention Page in the description but he used one also.

I am going to take the SDOTD app off my phone. I was able to buy this thing too quickly with a couple of taps of the screen. Very dangerous app.

Product Description

BBE’s Bohemian Treble Boost pedal is patterned after a rare treble booster produced in the mid-'60s that gave many famous players, like Brian May, Tony Iommi, Marc Bolan and Rory Gallagher, the ability to add sustain and overdrive to their favorite guitar amplifier. The Bohemian is a faithful reproduction of the venerable Dallas Rangemaster treble booster, which was often paired with the Vox AC30TB guitar amplifier, in fact the standard combination for Queen’s Brian May was a Rangemaster run into an AC30TB.

I probably should have bought one of those for the hell of it. I'll be waiting anxiously on your review.

I am going to review it for the site. It showed up today, I putzed with it for a few minutes and instantly swapped out the first gen BBE. I used it tonight at practice and the thing screams. It has a bias control that allows you to dial in your sweet spot perfectly. My leads were cutting through the mix without cranking the amp to sickening levels.

I was thinking about you when I was playing it. I have a treble booster also but this thing NAILS the Brian May tone. I had a great time playing through it last night. The bias control really allows you to dial in your tone The only con in my eyes is BBE used a plastic enclosure.

I saw that. They also have a Butterscotch HH G&L featured today for short money. I am already on my 2nd guitar this year, two Marshall cabs, a Marshall head and multiple pedals. If I come home with as much as a pick in the next couple of months my wife will have me wearing my nuts as earrings. This is the cool-down and planning period.

I already got my HH G&L, Uberschall pedal, and treble booster.

They're all worth it.

What you should also be able to do is crank out some Stained Class-era Judas Priest with a treble booster, LP, and Marshall.

Richie Faulkner does use a Les Paul these days with Priest. For my classic Tipton tones I find my SG really does the job. The weird thing is I was playing with my middle single coil on the HSH Strat and got a great Green Manalishi tone. Glenn uses everything in the studio God only knows what he was using on what any track.

Re: Nice Treble Booster on SDOTD

Yeah, just on that wlbum though, I think it is really clear when he is using his old Les Paul Custom he had for a while. Like the Beyond The Realms Of Death solo.

Re: Nice Treble Booster on SDOTD

Thanks for the tip off. I just ordered mine. I love my Screaming Bird, but I've wanted a Rangemaster clone for a while now. At under $55 delivered and brand new, I could't pass it up!

Re: Nice Treble Booster on SDOTD

Can't wait to hear your feedback. What kind of amp are you using it with.

Re: Nice Treble Booster on SDOTD

You stole my thunder man!!! I was all excited to write a thread bragging about how I just got a freakishly awesome deal on BBE Bohemian Treble Booster & I was going to include pics of my AC's & everything! Now what what the heck am I supposed to do?

Lol, all kidding aside I'm super pumped about this pedal! I literally just promised my girl I wouldn't buy any more effects but I've got a VOX G1 Night Train 50, a AC-15 T.B. CC2 Twin, (AC-15 chassis in a AC-30 cabinet with the extra Greenback & larger reverb tank) & a AC-30 T.B. CC2. This deal was just too good to pass on & she's only a little homicidal right now! BTW, If for some reason I disappear after today please tell them it was her!!! Lol, anyone out there who owns AC's probably knows that they can be kinda finicky when it comes to any kind of dirt, distortion, boost, & gain pedals? Some work better than others but this pedal should probably just come with the amp when you buy it?

Treble boosters are by far the best way to get that classic VOX low powered break up! Brian May, Toni Iommi, BBE treble boosters have been making VOX amps sound great for decades now!!! I've been waiting for a good deal on a used one to pop up for a while now, the last one that caught my eye on eBay was beat to hell & they still wanted $65 for it! I had a customer appreciation gift card for $10 from M.F. just waiting to be used so I actually got this baby for like $40 out of pocket!!!

$49 not $59!!!


Oh, please excuse me! I thought you were talking about the stupid deal of the hour thing they've got going on today? Thats my bad for not reading everything before I started typing, sorry about that. I just got one about 20 minutes ago and it was only $49, defiantly looking forward to your review though!!!!

Re: Nice Treble Booster on SDOTD

Securb's post was when it was the Stupid Deal of the Day, I bumped when I saw it was the deal of the hour since a few people missed it and wanted it. Glad there was some value to the bump!

Can't wait to hear your feedback. What kind of amp are you using it with.

I have a few amps. My main ones are an Ampeg Jet Tremolo (15W 1x12 combo), a Mesa Express Plus 5:25, and a 1968 vintage Princeton Reverb. I also have a 50W Ampeg Reverberocket head/cab an Ampeg V4 head/cab, and an Ampeg Super Rocket 100W 2x12 combo. I don't play the big amps much. Finally, a'63 Gibson Skylark (4.5W 1x10 combo with nothing but a volume control). I found that one in an abandoned house in the desert. I put about $150 into getting the speaker and a bunch of other dried up components replaced, so it ended up being a fairly priced bedroom amp, or recording amp when you need that one great overdriven tone it has.
