Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Death By Audio Thee Treble is a boutique treble booster and upper-frequency enhancement pedal from the Brooklyn, New York builder, reviving the treble boost circuit from the limited-edition Thee Fuzz Warr Overload. It delivers razor-sharp treble presence and upper-midrange clarity designed to cut through any mix with precision. The circuit emphasizes high-frequency boost in the tradition of classic British treble boosters while incorporating DBA's distinctive approach to circuit design. Suited for classic rock, heavy blues, and experimental players wanting a cutting treble boost with DBA character.
The Diaz Texas Ranger is a treble booster built by Cesar Diaz around the Dallas Rangemaster circuit, the same late-1950s design behind the classic British treble-boosted lead tones of the 1960s. Diaz extended the original with added treble and gain controls plus a high/mid/low EQ switch the Rangemaster never had, giving considerably more tonal range than the vintage circuit it is based on. Diaz built and repaired gear for artists including Bob Dylan and Stevie Ray Vaughan over a career spanning more than thirty years. Warren Haynes uses one as part of his rig.
