A custom-tuned Rangemaster booster combined with the pre-amp section of a Vox AC30 gives you the distinctive throaty midrange and jangle-y crunch of Brian May. Three controls get you to the essence of the Brian May sound - Gain, Tone, and Volume. You will own the stage when you step on this pedal! With your guitar turned full up, you’ll get the soaring lead tones of Brian May. Turn your guitar slightly down and you’ll be tying your mother down all night. Turn your guitar down further and you’ll get an amazing jangle-y clean sound that isn’t really clean but is! In a full band context, this pedal will help you cut through in just the right frequencies.
There is something very special about a treble-booster hitting a Vox AC30. The midrange gets super throaty with an amazing harmonic swirl. Back the guitar volume down and that iconic Vox jangle gets magnified - it can sound angry and aggressive, yet chime-y and beautiful at the same time. It’s a complex harmonically laden tone that is very compelling to play. And the new Galileo gives you exactly that response!
