This is the second version of the classic "Fireplace" Treble Booster made by Pete Cornish for Brain May, yes, THAT Brian May, used from 1972 to the present day. It can be heard on every Queen recording made and this version has a footswitch for use as an "extra" booster in line with an existing TB-83 for solos and extra "bite" and "dirt". All parts are exact to the orignals, sourced from the same suppliers and is hand made by the man himself. This is an essential piece of gear for anyone looking to get the classic Brian May tone from their AC-30's. When plugged into the Normal Channel on an AC-30 (Just the way Brian does it, NOT into the Top Boost channel), this pedal will create the ringing and sustaining harmonics that Brian is known for. When plugged into other high quality tube amps or boutique overdrive pedals, this unit creates a wonderfully crunchy and rich tone, loaded with 2nd order harmonics that cut through a mix with grinding authority. This is it folks! This is not a re-creation or clone of the pedal Brian May uses. This is THE unit made by THE guy, but with a footswitch (Brian's unit is always on!) for those of us that want his sound when we need it. HELPFUL HINT -- This pedal when plugged into a 60's Fender? Bassman top, makes for a KILLER tube rig, with tone to die for, at a fraction of the cost of a boutique two channel tube head. The treble boost takes the relatively dark and BLAH tone of the Bassman's Normal channel and creates a very dynamic and rich crunch that is very addictive. Call to place an order
