Red Ochre - ROD 096 - B Stock

The Red Ochre - ROD 096

Available for immediate purchase is this beautiful Red Ochre Treblebooster in a gorgeous Gold hammer finish.

NOTE: This pedal is listed as B Stock. There are a couple of small marks on the foot of the pedal as it has been sitting in the shop for sometime unused. Please see the last photo. 

This is our take on the classic Rangemaster Treble Booster with a couple of twists. Tuned just a little darker than the original pedal in it's brightest position, the boost is designed to offer classic drive and snarl to your tone without any edgy ear piercing spikes. The bright through to dark options are all usable tones and work with a variety of guitars, pickups and amps.

Housing carefully selected NOS or reclaimed components from the 50's 60s, 70's and 80's, these pedals are made with that vintage tone in mind. Each pedal is hand crafted, point to point, one at a time.

This boost features a wonderful Philips Mullard AC107. These transistors are sonically a great alternative to the converted Mullard OC44. Using the guitars volume, they go from sparkly cleans to full overdriven tones that are not that far off a mild fuzz. 

Along with this you can find

• Philips, Mullard Mustard, Mullard Tropical Fish, Ducon Ceramic and Anocap caps
  
• Allen Bradley resistors

Mechanical components include -

• Alpha pots
• Alpha Foot switch
• Neutrik jacks
• Red LED
• Lumburg 2.1mm DC power socket

This pedal also features a Tone Filter. In this model we have a 3 way selector switch that ranges from

• Far Left - Based closely on the original Rangemaster Treblebooster
• Middle - Adds more mids and thickens the sound
• Far Right - Adds more lower mids and further thickens the tone.

There is plenty to love about this control, and a heap of tonal options in there for you. 

Each Van Diemens pedal is hand crafted, one at a time using carefully selected vintage components. When turning our transistors, we initially set standard voltages at the beginning, and then set the final tone, tuning by ear.  We are constantly looking for the perfect sweet spot and once that point has been reached, we finalize the bias. We use classic pull back cloth wire and each hand cut and drilled fiber board uses either turrets, eyelets or through hole construction and are all wired, point to point.

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

Thanks for looking.
