NPD! Griffin Analog Treble Booster

[Music&Chaos]

This is being posted so late!

These are the pics from the man himself.....

Life has been crazy, so I have not gotten a chance to run it through its paces. Very hyped.

Funnily enough, this is a pedal that was never even on my radar but I think it will work well for what I do sometimes.

It's like half the time I am crazy brutal prog metal riff and other half weird jazz funk thing.


Will post an update when I get a chance to rip it!!!

Congrats brother, that's a beautiful pedal. I can't wait to hear how it works out for you!!!

I had a nice OC44 Hartman Treble Booster that Theo did a custom mid EQ on for me. I didn't use it enough and let it go then Hartman closed his doors. Shouldn't have let that one go. I'd love to try one through my rig now that I'm using 'buckers instead of a strat but I must say I am exceedingly pleased with Wayne's Gladio clones he has produced for me. And I have a NPD upcoming early next week from him again....been patiently waiting for my spaceman equinox clone, a pedal sized pultec EQ. First EQ pedal for me ever. I'm even gonna put a pedalboard together!!!

That EQ looks sick! That one is next on my list. I am in the same boat as you there, never have had/used one but it makes so much sense to. Good luck on your pedalboard build, it will come together quite nicely, I am sure.

Thank you brougham. I bought a Strymon Ojai during covid for a fun pedal steel guitar stereo pedalboard but the black power supply section had a bad receptacle and wouldn't stay on. I ordered another one yesterday. Just a three pedal board is the plan, OD-EQ-some sort of modulation/time effect. Was thinking about putting jacks into the board and stuff but I might just keep it extra simple this go around.

Just a heads up on those EQ's. Wayne said 3-4 weeks cause of the enclosure and some special pots with detents for the frequency sweeps. The pedal it's cloning is over $300 so $150 is a steal. @JackBootedThug got one and says I will like it so I'm pumped.

Also, I saw you pickup thread. You wire those puppies up yet?

Oh I know it, I need to put a down payment on one ASAP.

They are wired in, but i have not gotten any time to test them except for less than 15 minutes, which I spent solely on the neck pickup.

That being said - best neck pickup for an LP I have heard so far. Jumping the gun? Yes, certainly.

When i really put them through their paces, I will update that thread fasho.

I’m thinking about getting another. Run one up front and in the loop…. Cause fuck it that’s why….

Depending on how things work out I might have to do the same cause if you are counting on gear to make $ two-is-one-one-is-none as they say.

Hell yeah man! DO IT!!

This is the inside of it ..... the NOS OC76 is laying next to it ..... must have taken the pic before I installed it

all high end radial caps ..... carbon comp resistors .... charge pump to flip the voltage so you don't need a special plug

and the popular Input cap mod ...... giving you three choices on the toggle ( with one being the same value as in the Iommi Rangemaster ) ... middle being the Stock value

Sweet pedal bro congrats! As far as that eq pedal… if any guitar player on this board had the opportunity to try it then they would buy it. It’s that good. I’m being completely serious. It’s a no brainer. It should be called the tone scalpel or something because that’s what it does. Surgically alters your tone….honestly it would work for anything. Bass, vocals, studio possibly… it’s nuts. Wayne is not paying me or giving me anything either if anyone is thinking that. I’m a nobody on a guitar forum. If you don’t get one of these things then you are missing the fuckin boat completely. I’m done….

I think Spaceman Effects was targeting the " tan pants " when they decided to do this EQ in a pedal format ...

I couldn't find one vid on it in a high gain situation ...... so I built one and threw it in front of all my amps with jaw dropping results ...

I know it might sound weird ..... but you can boost and cut frequencies of the same type at the same time ..... resulting in some really unique EQ curves ...

And strangely a lot of the TGP tan pants crowd were turning up their noses at it in some of the forum results I came across when researching it. "Spaceman isn't coming out with unique pedals anymore" LOL . Sasha Ivantic had me sold about 30 seconds into his demo. Yep, a strat and a combo, but the tone was lush and rich. Just what the doctor ordered.
