Fryer Sound Ltd Brian May Treble Booster Review

brian-may-treble-booster These three treble boosters produced by Fryer Sound do more than just recreate Brian May’s signature tones and sounds. There are a number of May products out there, but the Fryer’s set of boosters are very accurate and make the May tones available to just about anyone. These treble boosters are very affordable, too, and the effects are great, at least when used with the Red Special guitar, May’s signature instrument (which was, incidentally, made by Fryer).

The May boosters are available in three models: Deluxe, Touring, and Plus. They’re color-coded for easy recognition, and each is quite simple to use. They’re battery-powered, so there’s no need to deal with cords. All three of them are quite clear and provide great sound. The Deluxe version focuses on May’s tones from the mid-seventies, while the Plus features less gain and more harmonic overdrives. Finally, the Touring version is similar to the Deluxe but features the least amount of gain.

Overall, any of these three boosters will allow you to recreate some of May’s signature sounds. Note that they do not mask any subtleties, so that means any mistakes you make will be quite clear. If you’re looking for a great treble boost that is very simple to use and doesn’t cost a lot, take a look at the May line. You’ll get great performance and at least 500 hours of use out of these. As for which of the three you need, that all depends on what tones you want.
