Recommend me a treblebooster!

[theMACHINE]

Hi guys!

I'm want to build a treblebooster, but I have no idea whats hip and whats not.
I want a simple one knob, low noise treble booster, and it should be able to boost the treble quite much.

So does anyone have any ideas?
I'd appreciate layouts for stripe/vero board.

Thanks.

The Rangemaster is a long time favorite, but Ge transistors can be expensive and delicate.  I also like the Brian May treble booster.  You can find both in the layout gallery.

I can whole-heartedly recommend this one!

I would probly build the ROG Omega.

It looks very versatile, and by all accounts sounds great.

Second the Omega. ROG has never stered me wrong and the Omega is "improved" with the worthy goal of boosting your treble and not your noise.
The Brian May TB is also very good but not as versitile as the Omega might prove to be. If you use humbuckers AND single coils PUPs then a more versitile booster could be the way to go.

Any booster can be made into a TB by adjusting some values.
You could build the very quiet AMZ Mini-Booster and either make it a TB or add a toggle to have full-range and TB modes.

But as for straight project off the net, yeah- Omega and BMTB.

Get a good Germanium and build a Rangemaste. Simply the best.

  Starting with an IRF510, or other Mosfet..
  Lifting from Gus Smalleys Mosfet OD, and...reads on Mosfet Boosters at GEO [recommended]
  Set the gain with the S/D resistor value ratio, Bias the gate using a pot [with large resistor from wiper, outside lugs across the power rails for very high input impedance].
  Choose your input and output pot using an 8pin 'perma-temp' tweek socket assignment. Each side of the 8pin socket holds a cap, two lugs per lead.
1     8
2     7
3     6
4     5
  Connect pins
  1 and 2
  3 and 4
  5 and 6
  7 and 8,
  attach the four corners to the appropriate nodes.
  Try capacitor values in circuit, in the box, into amp w/settings you'll use.
  Dab wood glue only in the center of IC socket, stick two 'folded over once' matchsticks in the socket center so each component gets a matchstick end [cut the sulpher end off], draw some glue between the sticks and components with a guitar string end or toothpick...done.
  Put an audio taper volume control on it, say 10k or 100k.
  Add a small cap to output for LP filtering off the high end a touch, or .1uf cap/100k pot to ground from signal path for HF adjustment.
