Comments about Electro-Harmonix Screaming Bird Treble Booster Guitar Effects Pedal:
I find this to be of limited value as a treble booster. The "highs" it adds are too raw to be of value. It actually destroys good tone. I am taking it off of my pedal board. I play British Invasion Rock and this thing had no place in a four-hour gig. It isn't a "musical" treble booster. Instead of adding treble, it adds screach.

it works better (to me) before others driver devices.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Screaming Bird Treble Booster Guitar Effects Pedal:
Don't underestimate this, and if you're looking for a bit more shimmer and gain from your amplifier, this is the way to go. Treble boosters tend to be rather unpopular because of how much tweaking is really needed to get the good tone, but there's really no better way to push a good tube amplifier.
Can't really complain. I prefer my effects and boosters to be simple, usually one knob is enough. This one does one thing and one thing only. It fills a niche that creates sonic bliss. What more do you need?
EHX Nano brand quality. Bulletproof case, good build, made in the USA. I'm fairly certain it's just one little analog board in there, so it'd be tough to break it.
As for the sound, it's tricky. But then again, the best effects usually are. Putting it in front of a clean amplifier boosts the gain just a little, but boosts the treble so much that it overpowers the bass quite a bit, as some people have complained about. Put in front of an overdriven amp, however, is godlike. With a modern amplifier, it gives you an Iommi sounding top end supported by whatever low end your amplifier puts out. This thing completely shimmers the top end and soaks your gain with more clarity and depth. It's tricky because the perfect settings are tough to find. There's a bit range of tones within that one knob. But when you find it, you'll hear it. It's gorgeous.
EHX offers some of the best bang-for-your buck in the effects market today, this is no exception. $40 is a great deal, especially for that special tone-fixing pedal that just fills out my rig like this.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Screaming Bird Treble Booster Guitar Effects Pedal:
I bought this expecting it to be an actual volume boost i could use when playing leads. It turns out it actually just cuts the bass frequency and boosts a certain band of high frequencies. This isn't really that useful to me when playing leads. I use it when there is a break in a song where i need a kind of lo-fi type sound, like a filter or something, for when my guitar needs to be less punchy. But it can be used as a lead boost if you experiment with its position in your signal path and fool around with the levels of your pedals and amp.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Screaming Bird Treble Booster Guitar Effects Pedal:
it's more a bass cut pedal and it add a lot of noise. Even on my amp that is to muddy lol. The only way this pedal would be usable is if you threw out the PCB and built a new circuit in the chassis.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Screaming Bird Treble Booster Guitar Effects Pedal:
Just enough treble and punch to make your leads stand out. Solid construction. Makes my tele scream... good value.
