At the point of their foundation in 1973 "Bad Company" assembled of three main band fragments. Boz Burell on bass, who left "King Crimson" after being unsatisfied with the tricky and complex harmony structure of the compositions by his boss Robert Fripp. Next was guitarist Mick Ralphs, formerly of "Mott the Hoople". The band fronted by the dominant singer Ian Hunter, who pushed the band into the new Glam-Rock trend. Mick disliked the new direction, so he left as well only to team up with Simon Kirk and Paul Rodgers from the famous British band "Free", who he met several times when "Mott the Hoople" opened for "Free". "Free" was -and still is- nowadays well known for their guitar player Paul Kossoff with his irreproducible soulful finger vibrato, his clever chord-inversions and his pure earthy sound.

Albuquerque special Booster 

BSM designed a new private stock booster just for the favorite taste of the company‘s mastermind. It was intended in first place to emulate the sound of the 1975 studio recording “Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow”, second to achieve Ritchie’s early Rainbow live sound that can be heard on the Nov. ’75 bootlegs, e.g. Bacon Theatre, NYC. Furthermore the unit was designed to get this sound from any stock “Bright” input found on classic Marshall amps.

Studio 75 special Booster

The BSM HS model is based on the short-lived early edition British HORNBY-SKEWES unit produced, as used by Ritchie Blackmore, the brilliant and impulsive guitarist of Deep Purple. The unit produces a powerful and biting sound that was used to help create the epochal masterpieces e.g. "Deep Purple In Rock" and "Fireball". The long yearned for new edition, now issued under the name HS from BSM, includes the same germanium transistors as the 1965 version. The HS-Custom model includes a volume control (like Blackmore's modification).

HS Treble Booster

The BSM RPA Special Booster is a combination of Ritchie Blackmores AIWA reel-to-reel tape recorder preamp stage plus the high-pass treble booster function from Blackmores hot-rodded Marshal Major amp, to emulate Ritchies post '74 sound with any standard amp. In 1974, right before the start of the "Burn" tour, Ritchie Blackmore changed his live setup. First and foremost, he wanted to play live with an echo effect and made the AIWA TP-1011 reel-to-reel tape recorder his first choice. This unit offered the typical 2/3 seconds echo repeat, perfectly matching Blackmores natural beat. Additionally, Ritchie Blackmore used the integrated microphone pre-amp as a booster, and with this his beloved Hornby-Skewes treblebooster he used for many years was not longer needed and was sent into retirement.

RPA special Booster

The BSM VX-T model is based on the british Vox Treble & Bass booster, made in the late 60's and used by many british bands at this time. Here is an almost identical copy of the second issue of this Vox unit, but with increased gain and a slightly modified tone network, pronouncing the mid frequencies and making the VX-T the perfect treble-midrange booster. So the sound of the VX-T is placed in between the VX-C Classic Treble&Bass booster and the RMG Treble Booster. The VX-C Classic offers a more vintage orientaded tone control with some good low end, while the RMG adds more twang and spank to the tone. The VX-T model includes a tone control which allows an extraordinary amount of versatility.
