Captures
the regal and soaring tones of a Rangemaster Treble-Booster into a
cranked up Vox AC30
"Queen
in a box"
Brian
May’s sonic signature not only comes from his home built “Red
Special” guitar, but also from a treble-booster pummeling banks of
AC30s. He never turns the treble booster off, accessing a wide range
of tones simply by manipulating his volume knobs and pickup settings.
From his guitar, to the treble booster, to the amps, his entire rig
is essentially a singular musical instrument. One that inspires the
sort of playing May is known for. We designed the Galileo with this
playing approach in mind, that with it you can roll your guitar
volume back for jangly AC30 cleans, and crank it up for searing leads
and aggressive yet focused rhythm tones.
There
is something very special about a treble-booster hitting a Vox AC30.
The midrange gets super throaty with an amazing harmonic swirl. Back
the guitar volume down and that iconic Vox jangle gets magnified - it
can sound angry and aggressive, yet chimey and beautiful at the same
time. It’s a complex harmonically laden tone that is very
compelling to play. Even though the Vox AC30 is mere 30 watts, to
crank one up inorder to achieve the tones that May achieved, it is
VERY loud. Too much volume for most playing situations. Enter the
Galileo!
The
Galileo is a custom-tuned Rangemaster booster combined with the
pre-amp section of a Vox AC30 delivering the distinctive throaty
mid-range and jangly crunch of Brian May. The Galileo has three
controls tuned to deliver the essence of the Brian May sound - GAIN,
TONE, and VOLUME. With guitar volume knob turned full up, you’ll
get the soaring lead tones and tight but aggressive rhythm tones of
Brian May. Turn your guitar volume knob down slightly and you’ll be
tying your mother down all night. Turn your guitar down further and
you’ll get an amazing jangly clean sound that isn’t really clean
but is! In a full band context, this pedal will cut through with just
the right frequencies to fit perfectly in the mix.
