Hi,
Which schematic closely would resemble the treble booster component in guitar rig?
With 'boost' and 'bright' controls (brigh kind of controls the highs).
I want to physically build the chain I use in gr.
Best Regards

Is there a particular pedal you've used and like?

The 'Boost' would be the volume knob.  If you wanted a 'Bright', perhaps have a switch to select the standard 4.7nF input cap or a second, larger cap like 22nF.

theres an "input cap blend" you can search that people use for fuzzes, i had built a muffer - booster- and tacked an "input cap blend" pot to the input, lets you controll how much bass rolloff there is. the muffer is a pretty clean booster though, whereas the rangemaster type treble boosters are fuzzy...
but either way its a good treble booster control.

i think i used a .1 uf for the left cap 'big cap', and a .0001 for the right cap 'small cap' tune tha caps  to taste for max-min bass you want. 
nothing says forever like a solid block of liquid nails!!!

The effect simulated in GR is a Dallas Rangemaster. It's a dead simple circuit and there are many variations and mods and workalikes available. How would you usually use the effect in GR? If you just use one setting, it would probably be best to breadboard or solder together the original circuit or a modern version and tweak it (highpass cutoff, gain, maybe lowpass) to your liking.

THX!
How do you know it is "Dallas Rangemaster"? As I see, it lacks the bright knob.

According to gr documentation>
- Bright, when turned down, reduces the boosting in the highest frequency range.
So it is rather like that the bass roll off is the same, but how much highs are there in the boost/feedback is controlled.
Or, Mby like amp's tone stack section for the trebble?

I relate the trebble booster to Ritchie Blackmore, the original Deep Purple guitar player. There is also some Brian May's trebble booster.
p.s.
I haven't used any booster or stompbox, I liked the trebble booster in guitar rig.
I put a parametric equalizer before/after the booster, prefferably before.
Then I tweak a very natural sounding overdrive when I set it before the twin reverb amp simulation in gr.
Better and tons more versatile than f..ex. ibanez ts9.
So, alongside with the trebble booster, building a 3 band parametric eq is even more essential to get the sound I like with a real gear.
