The D*A*M Red Rooster is a superior quality Germanium powered Booster that was designed to help drive Valve amplifiers into Overdrive and to create Valve overload at low volume settings but it really does has umpteen uses. The Rooster can be a treble booster, a bass booster, is great for a solo booster, works wonders in zinging up muddy sounding fuzz boxes and will even make weak flat sounding pick-ups warm, dynamic and full bodied.

The "Red Rooster" is a muscle bound; highly tuned version of a very old effect from the 1960's called the "Dallas Rangemaster" .The Rangemaster was originally a treble booster that sat on top your amp had no footswitch or any means to control the frequency and could get noisy at times. Original Rangemaster's are really hard to find, cost an absolute fortune and are in need of some improvement enter the Red Rooster. The Red Rooster offers several advantages over its distant cousin:

  1. 100% True bypass so it is totally removed from the guitars signal when switched off, it will also not bleed through and dull your guitars original tone.
     
  2. Features a "Range" control so treble, full range and bass boost can be acquired.
     
  3. Has a bigger output level so even weak pick-ups come alive and it will wake up the laziest of amps.
     
  4. Uses a specially selected and tested high grade "hot" germanium transistor so all Roosters, sound good.
     
  5. Low noise metal film resistors and high quality Mylar capacitors so does not amplify hiss.
     
  6. Its very reasonably priced so you don't have to sell your dog to buy one!

THE CONTROLS

"Range" makes the unit capable of producing crystal clear shimmering highs to a fat grunting wall of bass.

"Boost" sets the output level pushing it up past half way makes things a lot more hairy and really shoves that valve amp into overdrive.
