Reverse and over voltage protection - to protect the sensitive germanium transistor and keeping the pedal running for many years to come Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) suppression - avoiding radio signal reception when using high gain setting in combination with turning down guitar volume Note: NOS stands for New Old Stock Dallas Rangemaster History The main concept of the TrebleTool Junior© is based on the Dallas Rangemaster, a germanium transistor based treble booster developed around 1965 in London, UK by a company called John E. Dallas & Sons Limited. The Rangemaster was used to drive Tube Amplifiers into saturation because (high) gain Tube Amplifiers were not available during the 60‘ties. Famous guitar players who created their unique sound with a treblebooster are: Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Ritchie Blackmore, David Gilmour, Bryan May and Tony Iommi Technology concept Like the original Rangemaster, the core of the TrebleTool Junior© is a single stage transistor preamplifier based on a selected NOS germanium transistor with the correct technical specifications combined with a high pass filter. It creates a transparent dynamic sound that will cut through the mix without being perceived as over the hill. The TrebleTool Junior© is basically a Rangemaster extended with features that increase operating flexibility and solve short comings of the original design but do not change the original Rangemaster sound character.
