The Red Rooster is a muscle bound; highly tuned version of a very old effect from the 1960's called the "Dallas Rangemaster" .The Rangemaster was originally a treble booster that sat on top your amp had no footswitch or any means to control the frequency and could get noisy at times. Original Rangemaster's are really hard to find, cost an absolute fortune and are in need of some improvement enter the Red Rooster. The Red Rooster offers several advantages over its distant cousin:
1.100% True bypass so it is totally removed from the guitars signal when switched off, it will also not bleed through and dull your guitars original tone.
2.Features a "Range" control so treble, full range and bass boost can be acquired.
3.Has a bigger output level so even weak pick-ups come alive and it will wake up the laziest of amps.
4.Uses a specially selected and tested high grade "hot" germanium transistor so all Roosters, sound good.
5.Low noise metal film resistors and high quality Mylar capacitors so does not amplify hiss.
6.Its very reasonably priced so you don't have to sell your dog to buy one!
THE CONTROLS
"Range" makes the unit capable of producing crystal clear shimmering highs to a fat grunting wall of bass.
"Boost" sets the output level pushing it up past half way makes things a lot more hairy and really shoves that valve amp into overdrive.
THE SOUNDS
Red Rooster sound clips by Philip James Johnston.
Recorded with a "very simple set up of a Gibson Les Paul, tweed Fender Pro Junior(set clean)... mic'd with an SM57 in to cool edit(where I added some touches of room reverb here and there)"
