Figure 1: Schematic Diagram of LM741 Treble Booster. The circuit of Treble Booster using IC-741 How to build If you want to build this circuit. We have simple PCB layout and components layout on Figure 2 so easy to make it small size. The 'brian may treble booster' is the one his father made for him when his original rangemaster got stolen. The fryer one is Brians current treble booster and was designed to achieve the sound heard on the albums from late 70s through the 80s basically it sounds fatter and has a bit more gain.
- Similarly to Brian May who uses his Deacy amp with a treble booster in front, I wanted to build something similar that can be used with my germanium radios converted into guitar amps. All those amplifier circuits in radios are designed to amplify wider range of frequencies and they expect lower impedance signal at the input, so plugging the.
- While similar in appearance to the JMI Vox Treble Booster, Thomas Organ implemented two modifications to the V806 circuit. The JMI Vox Treble Booster utilized a three pole switch which facilitated true signal bypass when the booster was turned off.
- This is very similar to the Bass Cut Tone Circuit except that this circuit can also work as a treble cut. Simply by flipping the DPDT toggle switch, each of the capacitors can be placed into the signal path in series, producing a bass cut or in parallel, producing a treble cut.
ATTENTION! This is not a complete pedal kit. It is a module for the Crown Jewel.
This module is based on the Dallas Rangemaster. It features a hand selected PNP NOS Germanium transistor. Very warm and gritty. Almost a fuzz, but not quite. An on-board internal bias trimpot lets you dial it in to be a little hotter or cooler if you want. The best feature about the Germanium Treble Boost module is that it utilized the Crown Jewel’s internal negative 9 volt power supply. PNP Germanium transistors prefer to be used in a positive ground circuit, just like the original Rangemaster, the Fuzz Face, the Tonebender, and many of the other very early pedals that used Ge Transistors. They don’t like being forced into negative ground circuits. And if you keep them in a positive ground, they can sometimes not play nice with your other negative ground pedals. You could use an NPN transistor, but they just don’t sound as good. The BYOC Germanium Treble Boost Module uses the negative 9 volt power supply to trick the PNP transistor into thinking it has a positive ground, when it actually has a negative ground. This produces all the tone, less noise, and it will get along with your standard power supply and all your other pedals.
Before you begin, (as we've said many times), doing any unauthorized modification on your guitar could void your warranty or decrease its resale value.
For this circuit, you must use a DPDT on/on/on type of switch . (If you are unsure of which type of switch this is, please go to this page, scroll down to the DPDT switch section and look at Diagram D.)
When installing the DPDT on/on/on switch, make sure it works exactly the way as depicted in the graphic below.
Mp3 Treble Booster
We suggest that you start by soldering all 6 capacitors to the 6 terminals on the rotary switch.Next, take the free ends of the capacitors you just soldered and twist those around each other, crimp these to the right middle terminal of the DPDT switch and then solder.
Now (looking at the diagram below), you must cut the 'hot' lead from the volume control to the guitar output jack. (these have been labeled A and B).
Treble Booster Circuit Diagram Circuit
When using this circuit, the smaller the capacitance value, the more noticeable the bass cut.
The larger the capacitance value, the more noticeable the treble cut.
So, for example, when the rotary switch is set to the .046 mfd capacitor you'll hear a tremendous treble cut, but when you flip the switch it will produce a barely noticeable bass cut.
