Double Top
Retro-Electro's Double Top is a guitar pedal that's a true blast from the past - and a powerful tone-shaping tool for the modern player. Under the hood, it packs a one-two punch of classic germanium and silicon transistor booster circuits, each with their own unique sonic character. The germanium 'Rangemaster' side delivers a smooth, musical treble boost that's perfect for adding sparkle and presence to your tone. Dial in the right amount of lift with the dedicated tone and boost controls, and you'll hear why this legendary circuit has been a go-to for blues, rock, and country players for decades. But the real magic happens when you engage the silicon 'Hornby Skewes' booster and run it into the germanium side. This creates a wonderfully touch-responsive overdrive that retains clarity and articulation, even when cranked. Toggle between a treble or mid-range boost to fine-tune your sound, and let the volume knob be your gain stage. True bypass switching ensures your original tone stays intact when the pedal is disengaged, while the built-in bipolar power supply means you can ditch the batteries. Whether you're chasing vintage tones or searching for a flexible boost to push your amp, the Double Top has the goods to get the job done in style.
