Keeley Catalog: "The Ultimate Rangemaster clone. What makes this one raise ears and eyebrows is that it has the REAL DEAL, no joke Mullard OC44. Yup, Made in Holland. We've only got a small number of the OC44 and CV7003 transistors. Looking for the Ultimate in Boosters? The Perfect Boost for your main overdrive pedal? From Surf to FUZZ...the best cutting and biting tone from a pedal! I have found people a little unsure about the Java Boost. So I'd like to make sure you read about what it does. It is NOT AT ALL related to the TS9 or Blues Driver, or any other distortion or overdrive pedal. Boss and Ibanez do not make anything like it! It is a Treble Booster by design, not a typical overdrive or distortion pedal. That means, the higher the note played, the more it gets amplified... and then, by your amp, distorted. Bass Notes get Cut in two of the modes on the Java Boost! It is most widely used with a tube amp set to a bit of overdrive or clipping. That is the key to getting a great sound from this pedal. For example, setting the java boost infront of a very clean amp with the volume on 1-2 will surely result in a fairly weak guitar tone! ;-) Set the amp for some breakup, then click the java on. There, you'll have a fantastic sound and see why people rave about the Java Boost." Our Impression: Wow! absolutely the first note said this is it! I had a new Torres British Invasion amp on the workbench when the Java arrived. I set the amp for a mild tube distortion and plugged it in - right there, that classic really hard to dial in "BluesBreaker" tone in one note! Crank a java boost into a Marshall, tweed Fender, Vox, reissue Fender, any tube amp and it will do it perfectly. What's a "Rangemaster"? |
