The Java Boost is a germanium based TREBLE BOOSTER, it is not a clean boost. It is designed to give you classic tones from the 60s and 70s, and man does it ever!!! It must be used with a cranked amp that is overdriven or distorting a bit already. The more the amp and pedal are cranked, the more the creamy, beautiful, sustaining distortion there will be.
What makes this pedal kill of the hill is that it has the REAL DEAL, no joke Mullard OC44. Yup, Made in Holland. Weve only got a small number of the OC44 and CV7003 transistors. Please order soon as this will be a limited edition pedal. Looking for the Ultimate in Boosters? The Perfect Boost for your main overdrive pedal? From Surf to FUZZ...the best cutting and biting tone from a pedal!

I have found people a little unsure about the Java Boost. So I'd like to make sure you read about what it does. It is NOT AT ALL related to the TS9 or Blues Driver, or any other distortion or overdrive pedal. Boss and Ibanez do not make anything like it!
It is a Treble Booster by design, not a typical overdrive or distortion pedal. That means, the higher the note played, the more it gets amplified... and then, by your amp, distorted. Bass Notes get Cut in two of the modes on the Java Boost!
It is most widely used with a tube amp set to a bit of overdrive or clipping. That is the key to getting a great sound from this pedal. For example, setting the java boost in front of a very clean amp with the volume on 1-2 will surely result in a fairly weak guitar tone! ;-)
Set the amp for some breakup, then click the java on. There, you'll have a fantastic sound and see why people rave about the Java Boost. I hope that helps.
Modern Dallas Rangemaster Circuit, check out www.javaboost.com for more detailed information
3 way switched treble-booster, Stock Vintage Rangemaster(center), Mid-boost(to the Right), and Full Range(to the Left)
The switch is a very expensive locking 3 way switch so your setting is not moved.
Metal film parts for low noise.
BEST PART, The ULTRA RARE MULLARD OC44 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the transistor used in the mid 60s and only the best survive our critical testing. Low leakage of 150uA or less and Hfe of 80-110 are minimum requirements for the transistor to be used in our circuit.
The CV7003 might have a little bit more overdrive and be a bit quieter. These are very hard to measure or give you anything more than these general statements. They are in fact the exact same transistor. Units that tested better were marked as CV7003, the mil spec number. Since each transistor has its own sound, each unit will have a slightly different tone.
Second best part, DC jack and Negative ground system so it will work with your other supplies and effects and no smoking! BATTERY power is really the best way to power this device. Because of its simple nature, ANY POWER SUPPLY WILL CAUSE NOISE. We have designed in measures to reduce this noise, but it will still appear even with the best supplies. Batteries will last 48 hours of continous use in this unit.
(I LIKE this analogy I came up with this morning...a 65 Vette had higher compression needing a specific power source... High Octane gas to deal with the compression ratio... Well... this Vintage gear (came out around 65) has a special power source requirement BATTERIES, not modern DC supplies. Yes, the Vetter will move down the road on 85-87 octane gas, but youll hear some noise...KNOCK AND PING! Just like with a DC supply with the Java Boost, youll hear noise!)
Each unit is perfectly dialed in...internal potentiometers let us fine tune each of the tested and passed OC44s for optimum operation.
Tone Control!!! Yes ours has a second way to control the frequencies of the boost made, plus the Standard Level Control.
True-Bypass, Switchcraft jacks.
