Recommend me a treble booster
« on: June 16, 2015, 07:46:00 PM »
I've had my eye on a BSM FireBall treble booster, but after a few unanswered emails from BSM and a UK dealer saying they didn't think they were able to get one for me, I'm looking for an alternative.

The FireBall is designed to help nail Richie Blackmores tones... so have you any recommendations for a suitable booster?

Thanks.

I've only heard a few times that the EHX one with the c--katoo on it is rubbish.  I'd avoid that one.

I've had good results with MI Audio Boost N Buff and the Catalinbread Naga Viper.
Selling lots of gear, enquire within!......

I was of course referring to the Screaming Bird.

Keeley Time Machine boost, it's in a bigger enclosure but it's a monster pedal!

I have the HBE Germania 44, which is very cool.

BYOC Tri-boost is pretty incredible, plus you get a full range and midrange boost all in one, I really like mine since building it.

The Screaming Bird is horrible. HBE is out of business. I have a tonne of boost pedals, and even one anti-boost.

My favourites right now are (in no order): z.vex SHO, Bogner Harlow, AnalogMan Beano Boost.

If your are looking for the Richie Blackmore thing, a friend of mine LOVES his Dunlop Echoplex preamp.
