The singing British lead tone of a treble booster into a VOX amp. The VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster recreates the single-transistor treble boosters heard on classic 60s and 70s British rock records. VOX designed it to sound like the old Germanium units but with the stability and low noise of Silicon.
Why customers choose it
- Authentic voice: a faithfully recreated vintage treble booster, tuned to make VOX amps sing.
- Germanium feel, Silicon stability: a carefully biased Silicon design that behaves like Germanium without the temperature drift and noise.
- Hand-selected transistor: a Silver Can BC109 for consistent, low-noise performance.
- Fat switch: broadens the boosted range, from crisp vintage attack to a thicker, more modern punch.
- Great volume-knob cleanup: roll back your guitar for chimey cleans, turn the Boost up to push your amp into rich overdrive.
- Pedalboard friendly: works with modern pedalboard power supplies and fits flexibly in your signal chain.
Who it is for
Classic rock and blues players, fans of Brian May, Rory Gallagher and Marc Bolan style tones, and anyone with a VOX AC15 or AC30 who wants more drive and presence from the amp.
