Ease of Use: Give your tone extra muscle with the Brit Boost pedal. The Treble Boost setting pumps up the treble and upper middle frequencies, just like you’d expect from a vintage Treble Booster pedal. In the Full Range Boost position the pedal enhances all frequencies. It adds low mids and bottom end to the Treble Boost mode and is good for pushing a slightly overdriven amp into heavy overdrive. A gain knob varies the overall gain of the pedal from mellow and warm to grinding and ripping! Plus, a tone knob adjusts the overall tonality of the pedal. Of course, there’s a true bypass switch that lets your signal flow through without coloring the tone. This thing is so simple to use. It came with a manuel but you don't really need it. 3 knobs volume, tone & gain. 2 footswitches 1 Effect on/off & 1 full range/treble boost on/off. // 10

Sound: At the moment I am only using 2 different guitars with this a Gibson Tony Iommi SG and an Epiphone Custom SG. The amp is a Laney GH50L. It is noisy when you turn the volume or the tone right up on the pedal but I usually have it set about halfway. I can get the sound that I want by tuning down to a C# and this treble booster helps a lot. I also use a chorus and slapback delay effect all the time with this and for some songs a longer delay a Zaak Wylde Wah. // 9

Reliability & Durability: This thing is built of solid aluminium so it is very strong. I would use it at a gig without a backup. // 9

Impression: I play mostly Black Sabbath music and am currently in the process of writing my own music so this helps alot in getting the sound that I want. I have been playing for 6 years. I own many other pedals and one other treble booster a Denio but this one beats the lot. If it were lost or stolen I would go and buy this again. I didn't compare this with any other treble boosters because this is the only one I could find at the time. // 9

hehe it does make more sense for it to be aluminium...since that way it matches words like magnesium and whatever else on the periodic table ends with -ium. but of course only a snobbish brit would point that out

[longview:)]

can you put a battery in that thing??

[[Creative Name]]

actually on the periodic table it is spelled Aluminum...

[[Creative Name]]

Which is odd because sodium, magnesium, potassium, rubidium, strontium, zirconium, titanium, calcium, niobium, technetium, ect. are all spelled that way but aluminum and molybdenum are spelled differently

[Celticknife]

On American periodic tables, no less!

[nutinELSEmaters]

haha. so how much does it cost?

[nutinELSEmaters]

ps: im south african. so i can spell shit the way i wanna

[Weybl Himself]

You'll find America is the only country that spells it aluminum, maybe Canada, but the rest of the world spells it the right way.

[Johnny Blade]

It have one it cost $299 Australian and yes it takes about 4 AA batteries

[nutinELSEmaters]

thanx johnny. how do the ozzys spell allumium?

[theguitarist]

Why is there a debate on the word aluminium?

Keep on topic.

Checked.

[Johnny Blade]

Great pedsl though. nice sound

[ChrisMan101]

I have one well should say i won it but i cant get a good sound from it any sugestions its kinda noisey. And does anyone know what are the pedals you should hook in the send and return box in the back of a amp i know a Verb pedal is good anything eles like EQ maybe.

[BKR]

if its noisy try a nose gate

[geluidsterroris]

I have a boost and a mid boost in my amp
