Title: I can't remember the brand... A British pedal builder
Post by: Pierre on February 21, 2006, 05:13:35 PM: That make a lot of pedals VERY well priced and seem to be just great. Treble booster, and a solo boost pedal which allows you to store your original sound in and kick in the pedal to have more than just a boost... But I can't remember the name of the brand :( Any suggestions are appreciated thanks..

I've got his Electro Grid Fuzz, and it's fantastic. £50 delivered, won in an ebay auction.

I may as well give my opinion here, maybe more people are interested:

I'm not sure if he still does this one, he has a hybrid fuzz on his website I think. Basically it's a nice fuzz which, with the bias control, can go from very smooth vintage-style fuzz (also convincing enough as an overdrive) to a ragged, buzzy fuzz which squelches and farts a bit, although not so extreme as a fuzz factory, anyway there's no Gate function like on a fuzz factory. There's a bass boost switch and a mid filter sweep to shape the sound. It's done with Germanium diodes, apparently not so gainy as silicon. I haven't actually used any other fuzzes so can't compare, but I would guess that it's one of the more versatile ones out there.

Post by: Spook Fish on February 24, 2006, 09:46:37 AM: I'm tempted to buy that Burford Rangemaster clone (Sonic Ranger) Alan does - it's only £50.
i use an old non master vol amp and i think i need something like that to drive the bugger into distortion, as apposed to the amplified sound of a dirt box.

Yeah I'm interested in getting one for my HRDx, I'm guessing a Treble boost wont muddy up the amp like some overdrives seem to do!
