BSM I think makes 9,999 treble boosters & a few other pedals. Well make that 10,000. They have a new one.
BSM’s description of there other pedals drop names of legends and contain words & phrases like: vintage, based on, identical to, 1960’s, British, oc44, etc. So you know it is going to be expensive. Really expensive. And if your in the States the German made puppies are going to be even more expensive do the exchange rate.
I am not definitely not in the target demographic. I don’t have that much money to burn on pedal try to clone a sound. But if you are in the target demographic caveat emptor. It doesn’t come with Rory’s finger tips and soul.
Their sales pitch:
The BSM RG “Rory Gallagher” tribute model is based on the BSM HS-C Custom model, modified to nail Rory Gallaghers signature tone, known from his famous recordings like “Big Guns” or “Lonesome Highway”. Compared to the HS-C Custom, the RG Rory Gallagher tribute model offers more gain for a more punchy sound with a good crunch. The RG Rory Gallagher tribute model, includes the same volume control, like Blackmore’s modification on his treble booster. When dialed about halfway, you will achieve Gallaghers sound from his early records like “Deuce”, “Live in Europe” and “Against The Grain”
The booster is true bypass and can powered only by battery for several reasons — no external power supply AC jack. The BSM full guarantee periods are 1 year for all mechanical parts, including the switch, pots, jacks etc. and 3 years for the electronics. BSM stompboxes are built like tanks and should last forever.
