An exact replica of the "Orange Label" treble booster used by Brian May. This is a modern version of the many builds of the pedal started byJohn "Deacy" Deacon and Brian's father, Harold May.

I include three sixpence coins to play like Brian May.

While the focus is Queen music, these are perfectly fine to play songs by other artists such as Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, and Arielle, whom are great artists who love to play with treble boosters.

I can build this using either a BC149 transistor (like the original) or a BC549C transistor that offers lower noise.

I have built this using different tape options: black, blue, green, and red.

Requires a 9V, 1A and center negative power source with a 2.1mm plug.
