SKU: NAGAVIPER

Product Description

The NagaViper is a heavy duty treble booster. Based on the popular Dallas Rangemaster “Treble Booster”, used by guitarists like Iommi, May, Bolan and Tipton, this pedal boosts your signal into a heavy, harmonic rock tone. The Naga Viper pays homage to the famous pedal and build on it. With the addition of two extra controls - Range and Heat.

The  RANGE knob is a continuous control which allows you to go from classic treble-boost to a full-range boost and anywhere in-between - as the original could only function as a set frequency "treble-booster".

The HEAT knob gives you control over the gain level saturation, unlike the original which was fixed at maximum gain so you can dial in your ideal tone easily.

Here’s what Catalinbread recommend you do with this pedal:

Set up your amp so that it is already overdriven a bit on its own. With non-master volume amps, this is usually with the volume turned up to at least noon. With master volume amps, set the pre-amp gain to have a moderate crunch overdrive sound. Set up the Naga Viper in classic treble-boost mode:

Range - full CW
Heat - full CW
Boost - full or almost full CW

Go ahead and play.  You should be greeted with some awesome overdriven tone that makes you want to riff out! Now go ahead and experiment with the controls to get a feel for what they do.  We'll cover them in more detail in the next section.

While the best thing to do is experiment your own signal chain, you'll find that it usually works the best after wah pedals and before fuzz and overdrives. ESPECIALLY before your overdrives!  Also, don't place any buffered pedals before the Naga Viper as they will negatively impact the sound.  Ideally, the Naga Viper should "see" your guitar pickups directly for the best response.

Bought this as a upgrade to my Dr Green's Booster Shot, and it is much better. Gives you that Rangemaster feel, really cleans up with the volume knob, and is very flexible. Would definitely recommend.

As a number of people have said, Treble boosters are perhaps not the most exciting addition to one’s board. But now that I have one, it’s hard to imagine how I ever survived without it. The extra eq tweaking options of the Naga Viper go over and above most other treble boosters which makes it a real ‘Swiss Army knife’ of any pedalboard. It’s like an EQ, boost, and overdrive in one. It adds sparkle to anything you can throw at it. And the range control is just brilliant; allowing you to tailor your eq quickly and easily to match any combination of guitar, amp, pickups and pedals... Like a master EQ control. I bought the Naga Viper to lift a dark guitar and a richly voiced uni-vibe and it utterly transformed my tone into jubilant sparkly goodness. I have a few other ‘dark voiced’ pedals and the Naga Viper really brings them to life. I knew the Naga Viper was designed primarily for cranked Marshall’s or Vox AC-30’s... so I was slightly apprehensive about how it would work with clean single-channel amps in a home studio environment. My stereo set-up comprises a 68 Princeton Ri & Morgan SW22. I put the Naga Viper before a Jan-Ray and then into said Amps and the sound is nothing less than pure gold. I do love how it doesn’t colour the tone... it just cuts and/or boosts in all the right ways without changing the Voice of your amp(s). From an entirely personal and subjective point of view, I’m not mad about the aesthetics of the pedal; I feel the colour scheme of the graphics is a bit ‘late 80’s/early 90’s’. No crime per se, and I appreciate this is just a matter of opinion, but I reckon it might sit better on most pedalboards if it had more of a vintage look to it(?) That said, it sounds amazing & I’m really pleased with it.

Pushes a Vox AC30 beautifully

Mr. Peter West19th Jan 2021

Excellent for tightening up low end overdrive and distortion while giving extra harmonic saturation. Its very versitile from typical treble booster to clean boost and everywhere inbetween
