Are you BJF fans just like us? We very seldom have something in stock, but we do have waiting lists for each model. If there's a specific model you want, the best way is to send us an email through the contact us link to the right stating your name and what model you're interested in. Since Bjorns output is a lot lower than demand, it's really hard to tell the waiting time. It depends on what models he currently has on the working table or if he's busy designing for Mad Professor. He is a one man operation and he is actually doing everything completely by hand himself, even the curcuit boards and painting

The LITTLE RED TREBLER is not your average treble booster. It sports adjustable and switchable boosts ranging from unity to approximately 5 times or +15 dB with a soft slope (rate of bass cut) for a smooth treble lift useable at any amp setting without heavy bass loss sometimes associated with treble boosters.

The LRT has about half the gain of traditional treble boosters but a different slope and very low noise, making it useful in any situation were you would normally use a treble booster but with superior noise performance.

It has low enough noise to allow use before fuzz pedals for better clarity.

Output impedance is also medium so as not to hard drive fuzzes of the current-feedback-type (those that go from fuzz to clean between 10 and 9 on your guitar volume knob).

Treble boosters were one of the first effects offered to guitarists, and one that really caught on as the electric guitar made it possible to achieve extraordinary sounds. Instrumental groups of the early sixties, such as Shadows, Spotniks etc. made bright twangy guitars immortal - this is the first sound I could recognize as being made with an electric guitar.

There are two major secrets to this sound: you got to have the right corner frequency where treble lift starts and approximately the same bandwidth as the tape echoes of the day. Such a sound at the appropriate level would overdrive the tape heads but not saturate them and thus a slightly compressed, mildly overdriven, artificially bright sound could be achieved in the echo return.

This trend greatly influenced amplifier tone and amplifiers became brighter.

Treble boosters later came to an other use with guitarists who wanted to get distortion from their amplifiers rather from fuzz tones. Natural distortion was the word for this new dynamic effect. The same principals were now applied to direct signal - the treble booster would boost signal but cut excessive bass that would otherwise saturate the amp at bass frequencies, resulting in a muffled sound, and now instead give even string response with certain set ups.
