someday, i will find one so i can make the circuit EXACT, at least in terms of function...
this is based on the best guesses i could make, contacted everyone who may have one, no dice...so based on the discofreq database pics and a lotta guessing...

this is basically a rangemaster, i guess...

the idea of where you are going with your series appeals to me very much .

loved this one , very interesting , it also seems , well how do i put this ....

only you would have thought to then actually pulled this off , really cool man .

also , what kind of a DB guts a vintage TB , what the heck was in there again ?

hey , that T-power , is it 110 or does it run off an adapter ?

im learning , we'll thats what i keep telling myself

there was a wireless mic transmitter for a condenser mic in there, at least according to one of the guys on the forbidden place where stompboxes are free.

i tried to get a signal thru it...it has obvious ins/outs...so they may have been busting my stones. beats me.

so...i looked thru all the treble booster schems i could find, and it looked like the hornsby skewes was real close, and the rangemaster, too....so i just kinda thru some parts together and made ....

ummmm....

something. i don't know what, but it's in a cool little plastic case that says FAL treblebooster on it. ;)

bella barks alot. that's how she keeps me humble. she also poops a lot. so that keeps me busy, and allows some excercise other than a 25 watt iron lift 90000 times a day.

that said...next up (since i rebuilt the clone theory i got yesterday broken and rebuilt last nite) is a "dynamic treble booster" i found on the internet archive.

all your schematics are belong to us...

Reminds me of the guitar sound at the beginning of a U2 song on "Boy"

btw...the cct in this thing now is the hornsby skewes tb...i forgot. i looked at tb schems on the net until i found something i assumed was close...i figured 2 trannys, no knobs. this was it....or close.

it's a great sounding device, but noisy in a plastic box with coax hanging out of it!!

good for mating moose noises!! ;)
