Germanium Boost
The Gospel Bomb is a tweaked version of the classic ‘Rangemaster’ germanium boost. This pedal will kick the front end of your amp into high gear and send you into tonal bliss. Any tube amp that has a pretty sensitive preamp section will light up when you drop the bomb. Amps that I like to use this pedal on include older Marshall’s, Vox AC models, Tweed & Blackface Fender’s and pretty much any small combo from the 50′s and early 60′s. It is also great for stacking with other OD & Fuzz pedals to unleash the ultimate fury.
Each Gospel Bomb is built by hand from scratch onto vintage-style stripboard, using high quality components and with a high attention to detail. They come loaded with Omeg (UK) or Alpha longlife pots, a heavy duty Alpha switch, Re’an Jacks, carbon film resistors, Konek / WIMA / BC / HL capacitors and other high quality components.
Controls
BOOST – Controls the output of the boost section.
THICKNESS – Progressively adds more low and mid range frequencies to the boost section. Allowing you to go from vintage ‘Rangemaster’ bite to thick full frequency boost.
Power
Like the many vintage pedals the Gospel Bomb runs on batteries only. Disconnecting the input jack when not in use allows a single battery to last a long time, owing to the very low current draw of the circuit. We fit and recommend Zinc Chloride type batteries.
