Texas Treble

Sought-after treble boost from not too far back in the day. It's essentially a Range Master with three-way range selection, but that's no bad thing.

You can go mojo with a germanium can, but honestly - it sounds good with a plain and simple silicon BJT.

The input caps on the original, and indeed the current 'boutique' version, go from treble, a bit more from the mids, to full range. At FDHQ we plain don't like the full range mode, so we'll include caps to keep that bottom end at bay if you choose. It's the way forward...

The kit is supplied with a vertical-mount pot which has a round shaft, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and will take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
