**** Authorized Vox Dealer *****
Here we have the brand new Vox VTB-1 Treble Booster Pedal.  A wonderful recreation with a modern twist on the original 1960's Treble Booster.   This new version made with a stable and reliable Silicon transistor definitely breaks the barrier. Treble Boosters are know for using Germanium transistors but with todays availability, it is quite difficult.   The masters at VOX somehow figured out how to do it another way.   This one can be powered by a traditional 9v battery or a 9v dc power supply.  Add one to your board today.  Thanks for looking and happy buying!

Germanium vs Silicon Transistors

Both the original British Vox Treble Booster and the Dallas Rangemaster relied on a battery operated single stage audio amplifier circuit driven by a lone germanium transistor. Germaniums are legendary for their warm, non-linear response, but they were far from perfect—frequently falling victim to heat related failures, noisy response and erratic performance. Silicon transistors eventually arrived in the middle 60s to fix these technical flaws, in fact, the #149 JMI Vox Treble Booster switched to a silicon transistor in later production. Still, for tone purists, the original germanium circuits possess the mojo that modern silicon transistors can't quite replicate.

Development of the Reissue VTB-1 Vox Treble Booster

Vox could have easily cloned the original 1964 Treble Booster or the Dallas Rangemater, but the engineering team refused to compromise on modern reliability. Facing a global shortage of dependable germanium transistors, they set out to do the impossible: engineer a treble booster circuit that delivered the warm, non-linear vintage response of germanium transistors with the bulletproof performance of silicon.

After conducting an in-depth study of numerous original treble boosters and spending months modeling their behavior, Vox engineers devised a new method that replicated the nuanced non-linear response of a germanium transistor using a single BC108 “silver can” silicon transistor. First introduced in 1966, the BC-108 was selected by Vox for its abillity, when properly biased, to sound like a germanium while maintaining the reliability of a silicon transistor. 

Unlike the original #149 Vox Treble Booster which was mounted directly to an input jack on the amplifier’s control panel, the VTB-1 Treble Booster was designed as a stompbox for convenient remote operation. It also featured a rotary level control for adjusting the amount of boost, a “Fat” switch that shifted the boosted frequencies down into the midrange and a red LED to indicate when the unit was powered on.
