The TriBoost is the ultimate boost/preamp for guitar. The three most essential circuits in one unit -- A
germanuim boost that uses an NOS European made germanium transistor, based on the Dallas
Rangemaster treble boost for warm vintage tone that's a little on the dirty side. A silicon boost based on the
Linear Power Boost for a full frequency kick with tight punchy low end. And a MOSFET based boost for
sparkle and chime. A 3-way rotary switch selects between the circuit modes and the LED status light
changes colors from red to blue to green when you switch between the three different modes. The
Rangemaster is great for adding a little brightness to those old darker sounding British designed amps, but
can be too shrill on some of the brighter amps....Not a problem here. There is a toggle switch to change the
germanium mode from a treble boost to a full range or mid range boost. So you can still get that pure
vintage "beano" tone, or you can customize it to fit your rig with the flip of a switch.
While each of the 3 individual boost circuits are based on previous designs, the integration of all three into
one small, easy to use unit is an original BYOC design. And it was designed for easy assembly by even the
most inexperienced builders. So you won't find anything like the Tribooster anywhere else. All the boost
you'll ever need for less than the price of most "single" handmade boost pedals.

I've been wanting to try a BYOC Pedal, but my soldering skills are not what they used to be. I'm afraid I'd screw it up....
