This Booster/Varitone Combo circuit is built from the original design and is a direct replacement for any BC Rich guitar.
It also works in ANY guitar that you'd like to put it in.
Neal Moser Guitars offers both single boosters and booster/varitone combination circuits.
The varitone is a 6 position rotary switch. In the counter clockwise 1st
position it is straight through, no affect on the sound of the guitar. As you rotate the switch clockwise it sends the signal through an inductor coil and then a capacitor to ground. Each position uses a different value capacitor. That creates a different sound in each position. It's hard to explain exactly how it sounds, but it like a mid range scoop. It's great for recording. It will take a Les
Paul sound and turn in into a Strat type sound and anything in-between. It requires no battery.
The booster is a "times 10" unit. When you turn on the booster it increases the output voltage of your pickup from approximately 1/2 volt to about 5 volts depending on the pickup you are using. This extra voltage over loads the input stage of your amp and creates great natural distortion. We now offer a CAP MOD circuit as well. When used in conjuntion with the booster, you'll get less boost with a brighter sound. This creates a really great lead sound that cuts through the mud. The booster requires a 9Volt battery.
