BSM HS Treble Booster
The German made BSM HS Treble Booster is identical to the much sought after Hornby Skewes unit (manufactured in England in the late 60’s) used by Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple) both live and in the studio. As the original, the unit uses the European OC44 germanium transistor. Treble boosters (such as the Hornby Skewes, Orange, Dallas Rangemaster) were utilized by Eric Clapton, Brian May, Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher, David Gilmour and many other english guitarists to push their tube amplifiers into creamy distortion loaded with overtones. The result of the Hornby Skewes into a good tube amplifier is evident on the Deep Purple in Rock and Made in Japan recordings. The OC44 germanium transistors are carefully selected (over 50% are rejected by the manufacturer) and resin soaked over a three day period (to guarantee tension-free stability), to ensure superior sonic characteristics, optimal performance and long trouble-free life. The circuit is true bypass and has been updated to comply with current standards as well as eliminate unwanted noise and radio interference inherent in the original 60’s designs. Powered by a 9-volt battery. All BSM Treble Boosters are handmade in Germany with meticulous attention to detail and offer a 5 year warranty. Dimensions: 2.25" wide x 4.25" deep x 1.5" high $245
