Sandstone - Silicon Treble Booster

A Treble Booster you say? Why would you need more treble? Anyone that has ever plugged into a TB knows that it does a little bit more than what the name suggests. History has shown that they are the perfect tool to push an already cooking tube amp into blisteringly loud but creamy distortion. The sound is tight and warm with an intricate texture. But while Treble Boosters have existed since the very beginning of guitar stompboxes they are rarely seen on pedalboards.

     At AMI Effects we have redesigned a 1960s classic, making it a better fit for the modern world. The Sandstone offers more options for tone shaping than its predecessor and is also more reliable. Tonaly we have kept the warmth and texture of the original device that used a single OC44 Germanium transistor, but by using a pair of Silicon transistors in the Sandstone we have managed to subtely widen the frequency response in the low end, reduce the noise and make it more stable. This pedal is our interpretation of what a TB should be today.
