BoomBoom24 BoomBoom24
F
BASS FUZZ / OCTAVER
X Type:
Build Level: Intermediate
Based On: Maestro® Brassmaster™
The 2024 version of the BoomBoom has no significant circuit changes and minor layout tweaks.
The Brassmaster had a short production life (around 3-4 years) way back in the 70's. It's one of
those pedals that has passed into some kind of mythology because of its rareness. But, there are
good reasons to warrant the hype. It delivers that special kind of "highly compressed wall of fuzz"
that you can really dig into. And, those units seem to go for four figures nowadays. Build one for
1/50th the price!
The BoomBoom is a 95% Brassmaster. It uses a more widely available transformer than the
vintage unit (but similar spec) and it adds an output volume control.
• BASS: Sets the volume of clean bass sent to the output.
• SENSE: Sets the input volume to the octaver/EQ circuit.:
• BRASS: Set the output volume of the octaver/EQ circuit.
• VOL: The total mixed output from the BASS, SENSE and BRASS controls.
• HARM: In the left position, this switch adds some extra octave up signal in parallel with the EQ
circuit. In the right position, it sends the full octave up directly to the EQ.
• BRASS1/2: This switch toggles between two EQ settings. The left position is mids-focused and
the right position is mids-scooped.
See the Notes section for a little more info on using the controls.
