Members L_Z_nut Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Switch to your treble/bridge pickup. Cheapest I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burg Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 $120.00 will get you a killer Rangemaster clone, as well as several other useful boosts. No, I don't work for Soul Sonic. But I can sure recommend them. Demo.[YOUTUBE]ZWQeb8DUFqI[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cvogue Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Dano Fish and Chips EQ pedal? Cheap and sounds really good, just boost the higher frequencies and you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turnitto11 Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 I tried the BBE Freq Boost and it was pretty good for the cash. Or just build one, that would save you like $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Folky_Grunge Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Dano Fish and Chips EQ pedal? Cheap and sounds really good, just boost the higher frequencies and you're there. EQ pedals can't do the same thing as a treble booster. I think this in gone over in every thread on treble boosters. One the cheap, the best option (if you want to buy one) is the HBE Germania. However, I built one myself for cheaper that I think sounds way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Keeley Java is not cheap, but well worth the price as it has three settings to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Folky_Grunge Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 the byoc? No, I bought a PCB off a guy on ebay who included the resistors and caps (the only reason I didn't buy a GGG PCB). Other than that, I did everything myself; drilling the enclusure, sourcing the parts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Keeley Java is not cheap, but well worth the price as it has three settings to choose from. Yeah, EQs and treble boosters boost frequencies in different ways, so they sound different. A big factor in the sound of a treble booster is its transistor. Part of the reason the more expensive ones cost more is that they use better transistors. The cheaper ones tend to use cheaper transistors that don't sound as good. I didn't like the way a Germania sounded with my Telecaster, but I actually like the Rangemaster clone I built a lot (I used a NOS OC71 transistor).
