High-heat Treble-booster with Extra Functionality

The Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster was a seminal part of the classic rock sound of many guitarists in the '70s and '80s — but it had its limitations. With a single Boost knob, you could pump great upper midrange enrichment into your amp, but there was no possibility of using it as a clean boost or a fuzz box. Plus, if you didn't crank your amp way up, the effect was, frankly, unimpressive. The Catalinbread Naga Viper lets you experience all the crunchy breakup and searing solo power of a dimed Marshall stack at bedroom amplitudes. You also get a Range knob for controlling frequency response, as well as a Heat knob for setting the gain — and you still get the Boost control for choosing your output level. The Naga Viper Treble Boost pedal is your ticket to 1970s-era tone with modern control and creative flexibility.

Serious tone shaping

Vintage-style treble boost circuitry is at the heart of the Naga Viper. It is melt-your-gums hot, like its namesake world-champion chili pepper. Pump it into a cranked amp and you'll enjoy a raunchy trip to Retro Rockville. With the Range and Heat knobs fully clockwise, the Naga Viper was designed to put that Rangemaster goodness into pedalboard-friendly modern form at diplomatic amplitudes, but it does so much more. Dial back the Range, and you can turn your small amp into a giant fuzzbox. Back off the Heat dial to clean up your boost and infuse it with intense clarity and exceptional energy.

Gear that makes you want to play

The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices that they want to use themselves — "gear that gets us excited and inspires us to play." The result of that authentic focus and unwavering integrity is the type of innovation that isn't market-driven; Catalinbread creates its own market for products players love, whether overdrive, delay/reverb, fuzz/distortion, or tremolo/modulation pedals (many of which are available at Sweetwater). The Naga Viper Treble Boost Pedal is a great example of Catalinbread's commitment to exciting, inspiring innovation.

Catalinbread Naga Viper Treble Boost Pedal Features:

  • '70s/'80s hard-rock tone — like a Marshall stack at "10" — in pedal form at bedroom volumes
  • Same tone circuits as the vintage Dallas Rangemaster for authentic old-school sound
  • Better tone-shaping control, thanks to the addition of Range and Heat knobs
  • Dialing back the Range control gives you back the low end for funky fuzz
  • Heat knob gives you gain control; turn it counterclockwise for cleaner boost
  • Named after a champion hot pepper because it brings serious heat
  • All-metal chassis and high-quality true-bypass footswitch for long-lasting performance
  • Made in the USA
