General Guitar Gadgets is the best DIY stompbox site on the internet! We feature projects, kits and ready-to-solder PCBs.

Here is a very popular treble Booster. This project is built on the Germanium Booster (GEB) board, even though it uses a silicon transistor.  Note that this project uses a 10k pot  in place of a 6k8 resistor in R3 to make a more versatile unit. Also the input capacitor is a higher value (0.0068uF instead of 0.0047uF) as recommended by some to give a fuller sound. We haven't seen a real Brian May Treble Booster circuit, this project is based on a schematic that has been floating around the Internet for a few years.  It is a very nice sounding, reliable circuit.
