TREBLE BOOSTER - BLAMMO ELECTRONICS Zap Master ... before the Tube Screamer

BLAMMO ELECTRONICS| ZAP MASTER
$130.00 USD
Back in the late 60's if you wanted your Plexi of Vox AC 30 to scream you did not buy a Tube Screamer. In fact you couldn't, it was not invented. Everyone used a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster. Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, and Ritchie Blackmore all used one and it was as important to them as both their amp & guitar.  Do not be confused 
by the name. Just like a Tube Screamer it punched a hole in the upper mids.
Blammo has recreated it but added two more boost points in the mids. 
They cleaned up noise and other issues like lack of enough level. 
I love the standard 5NF setting but using it as boost on several OD's. 
I am sure the others would be used. 
CONCLUSION
What's not to love. Who doesn't have a Tube Screamer? 
About one in 10 OD's are ts and most of those have 
been renamed something else by the brand we 
have bought them from. So this pedal is a 
welcome alternative. Perhaps for many a better one.
