Hopeless

That and clean boosts usually seem to go about it in a different manner than vintage style treble boosters and the like. Your average eq pedal or microamp prolly isn't using germanium based transistors to boost the signal (which is what the old dallas rangemasters used IIRC). So right there you have a dramatic difference in tonality. As far as I've come to understand it a big part of brian may's sound is his out of phase pickups and his dallas rangemaster (Which I believe someone posted a link to an excellent copy of already with the treblebooster.com link) so if you're really really after the sound check there. IMO those sorts of "Vintage" type boosts make the sweetest sounds from old non-mv tube amps you can get.
