‘I was trying today to learn the “Back To The Light” solo, it’s not perfect yet, but I recorded the moment, because I love the way the TB Super sounds with my guitar. I’m getting really crazy about the sound I can get with your pedals, and now I want to have and test it all hahaha!! Soon I will have my AC30 repaired and I will test the pedals with it’

‘I’ve tinkered with the mix a little and replaced the main solo with a version played on my AC30 (Arbiter). This is the original solo but I replaced it in the mix I sent you with a version played on the Deacy. I think this version is closer to the original’.

‘Anyway the TB Super booster is THE BOOSTER. I have never EVER had such a brilliant sound over my rig. I was just one click from all way up on the Marshall Power Breaks. What a sweet tone. We did a recording on 24 channels and also filmed it. It will take a few months before we have all this ready’

Pedalboard: Fryer TB Super treble booster, VOX 847 WahWah, Boss CE 20 stereo Chorus (CE 1 mode), Boss DD 7 stereo delay (Guitar Extravagance)
Amps: Two VOX AD 120 VT amplifiers (VOX AC 30 mode)

Stefan’s comments:

‘I have tried the booster with my rig and the first impression was more than great.
The first thing I noticed was a nice and familiar hiss like with my Cornish boosters, great! 😉
The Super TB sounds not to fat and not to thin, great!
The clean tone is nearly the same like with my Cornish TBs. The saturated sound for rhythm guitars is really good and with a nice kind of clarity in it. On full volume the tone is so nice and singing, and powerful for great soloing.
All in all a powerful booster, which sounds very sweet and creamy, but with
a nice clarity too.
It seems, this is the best TB I have ever had to get the right BM vintage tone!!’

Review of the Treble Booster Super pedal by Marco:

“Treble Booster, yeah…its a big part of the BM tone. An important device to get the right ‘scream’ out of the amp….but also a disease! Yes, a disease….a BM fan can’t stop buying each one of them.

With the Greg Fryer’s offer seemed that we had all we needed. Three TB for all the tastes: Touring, Deluxe and Plus. Three great pedals.

Then one day I heard news that a new booster would have been baked by the Australian luthier and guitar tech. The Treble Booster SUPER. I thought: “Great! But what’s new?!”

Here start the story….Greg kindly sent me the prototype of this TB Super; handmade and signed by him. I open the case and find an aluminium box with the labels of the Fryer company and one about the product name. Then I notice two funny reflectors stickers! One of them with a star had on the writing “Amazing”…well, that sticker told the truth.

OK lets try the pedal! I took my Red Special replica, switch on my favorite AC30 and I turn it to the maximum. First strum… my thought: “wow, crispy!” Minutes go on and I try all the different settings on the guitar. From the big full sounds to the gentle parts. All the ‘out of phase’ settings and all the famous licks.

Well shortly I realise that this pedal sounds unique. Really unique! Every TB I had tried had its own strong point…one is creamy, one is clear, one is good for the Out Of Phase setting, one better for a certain BM period, etc…

This one, quite incredibly, can sound creamy and defined at the same time. Its very hot and powerful but even at full volume you can hear the single strings very well! Rolling down the volume it clears the sound giving the characteristic ‘ringing bell’ type of tone; very clear and defined but with a good amount of warmth that make those parts nice and sweet.

Open a little the volume its easily identifiable the moment when the guitar starts to distort but not too much….that magical moment when you’re on the edge of the saturation: the ‘Tie Your Mother Down’ moment! Yeah…that tone is there. The guitar sounds deep and growls every time you hit it with more power.

At full volume its just a pleasure. As I said ‘creamy fat and and crispy’ but with that unique feature of giving an organic and live sound. The feedback is very harmonic and controllable. The AC30 just sings.

With this TB the guitar becomes even more expressive and ‘live’. Probably I fallen in love with this TB because it reminds me the best years of Brian’s tone: from the very late ’70s to the mid ’80s.

To cut a very long story short: this prototype seems to have the best features of every TB I tried. Really hope to see this product in production. You should have to try it!”

**********************************************************************************

TB Super version 2:

In early December 2014 I made a new version of the Treble Booster Super pedal for Marco Giuseppe Di Marco to try out.

I was aware that Marco’s AC30 CC2X and AC30BM amps are quite bright and hot sounding and hoped that this different version of the TB Super circuit might offer something useful. This pedal’s working title has been the ‘TB Super version 2 Marco’ model. The version 2 circuit has some subtle changes made to a few components in the original TB Super circuit, and these are enough to give the pedal a smoother tonal texture which takes away some of the Rangemaster style treble end of the standard TB Super circuit. These changes also reduce some of the singing harmonics in the guitar sound which some people might not like especially when using older AC30s.

Its a subjective individual thing of course and personally I prefer the sound of the original TB Super a little more for playing through my AC30 – because of the pedal’s greater harmonic content and ‘vintage style’ tone when using that amp. Marco’s comments after initial testing using the new version at live gigs with his AC30s have been very positive and I look forward to having youtube videos clips soon to post up of both his TB Supers in action.

23rd Jan 2015: from Marco:

Greg, here’s the first quick video of the ‘version 2 Marco’ model TB Super. Waiting for a better video with the complete live rig… Little quick test with just one amp at home and the Fryer Super Treble Booster “version 2 Marco”.

4th Feb 2015: ‘this time I’m using the TB Super Marco version on some delay stuff’:

23rd March 2015: ‘just recorded a new vid, only guitar, no backing track…
It’s the solo from ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ …. I’m using the TB Super Marco version straight into the AC30 BM. Hope you like it!’

7th April 2015: live videos from Marco and his band recorded using an iPhone6 on 13th Feb 2015. Because of the small size of the venue Marco says he was using just one amp, the AC30BM

1. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’:

2. ‘Somebody To Love’:

3. ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’:

4. ‘Now I’m Here’:
