Classic British bite. Modern VOX engineering

Few guitar sounds are as unmistakable as a VOX AC30 pushed into its sweet spot by a vintage British Treble Booster. Heard on recordings by icons like Rory Gallagher, Brian May, and Marc Bolan, this pairing helped define the sound of rock’s formative years. The VTB-1 revives that legacy with a re-engineered, road-ready booster that delivers the expressive character of the original without the limitations of 1960s Germanium technology.

The sound and feel of the originals

The VTB-1 preserves the simplicity of the classic single-transistor design while offering a significantly more predictable and stable playing experience. The custom bias circuit positions the BC108 in its ideal operating zone, allowing players to sit comfortably in that expressive edge-of-breakup range.

Dial back your guitar’s volume for sparkling, chimey cleans—a hallmark of the best original boosters—or turn the Boost control clockwise to push your amp into a harmonically rich overdrive with massive headroom and focused presence.

Authenticity meets flexibility

By combining a period-correct voice with modern refinements, the VTB-1 offers an authentic ’60s Treble Booster experience with greatly expanded versatility. The Fat Switch broadens the frequency boost, letting you tailor the pedal to your guitar and playing style, from crisp vintage attack to thicker, more modern punch. And thanks to careful engineering, the VTB-1 remains remarkably quiet, even at high gain settings.

The perfect partner for VOX amplifiers

Paired with a VOX AC30 or AC15, the VTB-1 unlocks the singing, harmonically rich overdrive that shaped the golden age of British rock. Dynamic, touch-sensitive, and beautifully interactive, it captures the soul of the original boosters while offering the reliability today’s players need.

Iconic tone within reach

Classic Treble Boosters have long been rare, expensive, and unpredictable. The VTB-1 brings their authentic sound, feel, and musical response back to modern pedalboards with a beautifully refined, highly stable, and road-ready design.
