A treble booster is an effects unit used by guitarists to boost volume and especially the high end of their tonal spectrum, and was popular mostly during the 1960s. Popularized by guitarists such as Tony Iommi,〔(Tony Iommi on Early Black Sabbath: 'People Were Very Frightened of Us' ). Gibson.com.

Retrieved on 7 September 2011.〕〔()〕 treble boosters were used to overdrive amplifiers (mostly dark sounding, British tube models such as Marshall Bluesbreakers and Vox AC30s) in order to create a more distorted yet focused sound. They came up in the mid-1960s. By the 1980s they had become obsolete. Guitarists used overdrive pedals instead, in a similar fashion. ==Dallas Rangemaster== The earliest treble booster was the Dallas Rangemaster. Unlike most of today's clones, the original Rangemaster was not a pedal, but a box meant to be placed on top of the amplifier. The circuit makes use of a single OC71 or OC44 germanium transistor. An early user of the Rangemaster was Eric Clapton, who supposedly used one around the time of John Mayall's ''Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton'' album, in combination with a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard and a Marshall Bluesbreaker. The Rangemaster has also been used extensively by Brian May, Tony Iommi, Marc Bolan and Rory Gallagher. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Treble booster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
