Here we have, available for immediate purchase, a Red Ochre Custom in this beautiful White Vein finish This is a classic build with a fresh new take on the layout. 

This killer treblebooster features a Mullard/Philips OC44 Transistor. This is the classic transistor for this pedal and it sounds absolutely amazing. 

Along with that will be the following goodness.

Housed in a Hammond 1590 P1 enclosure with 1 x Large grey 70s Rendar knob, 
Switchcraft dress nuts and a Red LED in a tall Bezel.

Then on the inside we have

TOCOS Potentiometer.
Phenolic Tag strip.
Sprague, Philips, RS and Ducon Capacitors.
Piher, Erie and Allen Bradley resistors.
Neutrik jacks.
Dailywell footswitch.
Silver badge.

This Treblebooster has a pre-set input coupling cap which is a 10nf (0.010uf) RS Ceramic capacitor. It's a little brighter than I usually go with but it sounds stellar with this transistor. It has a switching DC 9V external power socket that is the standard 2.1mm, negative center type. There is also a battery clip for internal power. The External Power socket will disengage the battery when plugged in, and the input jack also switches the battery out when the cable is removed. 

Each Van Diemens pedal is hand built, point to point, one at a time using carefully selected vintage components. When turning our pedals, we set standard transistor voltages at the beginning, but then finalize the setup tuning by ear, looking for the perfect sweet spot and finalize the bias once that point has been reached. 

IMPORTANT: All pedals use PNP Germanium transistors and as a result, are positive ground.

DO NOT POWER WITH A DAISY CHAIN. This will void the warranty.

The pedal comes with a calico bag, booklet and rubber feet and comes in a semi gloss, deluxe box with magnetic catch.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for looking.
