Germanium Boost

BOOSTER

The world’s first dedicated guitar boost circuit was an unassuming grey box that sat on your amp. As easy as it was to overlook the enclosure, the sound was impossible to ignore. The Dallas Rangemaster turned your tube amp into a raging force of saturated, mid-heavy distortion overdrive, so it’s no surprise that this circuit was the secret weapon for Rory Gallagher, Brian May and so many more guitar heroes. Original units sell for as much as $4,000 on today’s used market. Ain’t nobody got time for that. The Germanium Boost is our faithful recreation of the rare and sought after Rangemaster. We’ve included modern updates like a bypass footswitch and a two-way toggle for choosing the frequency of the boost, either classic or a thicker modern tone. Inside each Germanium Boost is a vintage Black Glass OC71 germanium transistor-- sourced from a private stash in England — delivering you blistering, sustaining guitar in the same vein as “We Will Rock You.”
