Bigfoot Trouble Booster
Our flagship boost pedal (NOS Germanium).
Overview
The Bigfoot Trouble Booster is a germanium treble booster pedal with some unique modern features for unlocking many more great tones.
Sound
This pedal has 2 settings: the Bright mode is inspired by the vintage Greg Fryer and Dallas Rangemaster treble boosters, capturing the classic Vox AC30 Top Boost and Brian May (Queen) sounds. The Normal mode provides a wealth of fatter overdriven tones inspired by Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), packed full of rich harmonics.
Features
Although we still use hand picked NOS germanium transistors, we use negative ground wiring so you can integrate the pedal into modern pedalboards. It also features an invaluable Bright/Normal switch for toggling between the classic treble booster sound and a fuller, fatter tone.
Applications
This is the perfect tool for getting two distinct, very high quality dirty tones from one pedal.
