The Germanium Treble Booster - a brief history
Typically used to push guitar amps into overdrive, treble boosters were used by such guitarists as Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Brian May in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The most noteworthy germanium-based treble booster is the Dallas Rangemaster, which was originally produced in 1966, and is often considered a "Holy Grail" tone effect. The Rangemaster was featured prominently on the Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton album, as well as on select Queen and early Black Sabbath recordings. Treble boosters began to fall out of fashion by the 1980s, due to the popularity of overdrive stompboxes. That being said, treble boosters have been enjoying a recent resurgence, due to the unique tone they impart.
4-way Colour knob provides a variety of tones
Rather than employing a simple on/off switch like the original Dallas Rangemaster, the 65amps Colour Boost features a 4-way Colour knob that notches out midrange frequencies - without butchering your low end! By notching out various frequencies, you'll be able to manipulate the overtones of your guitar sound, creating all sorts of new and interesting sonic textures.
Quality construction delivers top-notch sound
The Colour Boost is made with premium germanium transistors and amp parts, rather than cheaply made pedal parts. In fact, the Colour Boost uses some of the same components as 65amps guitar amplifiers! In typical 65amps fashion, the Colour Boost is a well-built modernization and improvement on a classic design.
