That Pedal Show – Tremendous Treble Boosters For Glorious Classic Drive Tones

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.


In this episode we delve into world of the not-so humble treble booster. If you’re already a fan, you’ll know that they’re somewhat unfortunately named because to most of us, well, boosting treble isn’t exactly a priority with the majority of modern amps.
However, just as ‘Global Warming’ should actually have been called ‘Crap Weather And Periodic Regional Devastation’, so the dear treble booster might have been better named, ‘Make Your Pushed Amp Or Overdrive Pedal Sound Properly Bloomin' Rock’N’Roll’. Hmmmm. Might not have fitted on the screen print.
Nevertheless, whatever they’re called, they’re still largely misunderstood so here we do our best to offer some insight into how you may benefit from using one. Anybody who’s struggling along the road to getting just the right kind of ‘more’ from their already overdriven amp, listen up – this video’s streets are paved in golden knowledge and inspiration for you. Maybe.
It’s pretty nice with a Strat into a Plexi too. Mmmmm.

Please enjoy the video…
