Brian May Treble Booster
I built this based on the Fuzz Dog board. It's based on one of Brian May's early treble boosters after he stopped using his old Rangemaster. It has a very distinctive sound. It uses a dependable, low-noise 2N5088 silicon transistor to achieve a Rangemaster-style treble boost that becomes a bit on the gritty side as you crank it up. This kind of boost works extremely well with a low-gain amp like an AC30 or an old Marshall JTM-45. They're a nice "pre-conditioner" that shapes the signal that the amp clips and they add a tiny bit of distortion that helps make the overall grind a little more complex.
