Here is a very cool vintage Electro-Harmonix Screaming Bird Treble Booster, made in the USA during the pedal’s original production era.

The Screaming Bird is one of Electro-Harmonix’s classic early boost effects. It emphasizes the upper frequencies and adds gain and presence, making it especially effective for pushing a tube amplifier into bright, cutting classic-rock overdrive. Its simple single-control design makes it easy to dial in anything from added definition to an aggressive treble boost.

This unit has been tested and is in proper working condition. It is in decent cosmetic condition for its age, with normal scratches, finish wear, oxidation and other signs of vintage use. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition.

Important condition disclosure: A previous owner engraved a personal identification number in a couple of places on the housing. This is permanent and has been taken into account in the price. The engraved areas are shown in the photographs, with the actual number obscured online for privacy.
