I am Pacha, a PhD student in Political Science at the University of Toronto, specializing in International Relations and Public Policy. Alongside my research, I craft treble boosters inspired by classics like the Dallas Rangemaster, Orange Treble Booster, and more.
Each pedal is handcrafted to order, blending vintage tone with modern reliability. For questions, feel free to contact me at .
You can purchase my pedals here or from my Reverb shop.
All pedals have free shipping in Canada and the USA.

Warranty
All these pedals are built one by one as I get orders. These are sold
new in box and are covered under the my original limited warranty.
To the original owner, I will repair or replace your pedal if it fails
to operate due to defects in materials and/or workmanship for a period
of 1 year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover misuse
or neglect by the user, nor does it cover cosmetic damage to the finish
and external hardware. To qualify for warranty, the original owner must
provide proof of purchase of their pedal either by providing a Wise
or Reverb invoice.
Even when it is very uncommon, it has happened that two (out of 53
pedals shipped as of 2024-04-27) have arrived with evident
signs of mishandling during transport. In that case, I will immediately
replace of refund the product. To avoid this to the best of my ability,
I use oversized boxes with a generous amount of bubble wrapping.
Please note that the warranty excludes shipping costs.
Open Hardware
Feel free to use these files in any way you like, whether for personal or commercial purposes. However, please note that these designs are provided "as-is" without any warranty or guarantee of fitness for a particular purpose. Use them at your own risk, and ensure proper testing before implementation.
If these files are useful to you, please consider buying me a coffee to keep creating more files.
KiCad footprint for a standard 3PDT footswitch
KiCad does not have this component, so I made my own footprint for the E-Switch 3PDT footswitch that Mouser Canada sells.
PCBs to Build Vintage Effects
I created these KiCad files with the corresponding gerbers and bills of materials to create effects no longer produced by the original makers since the 1970s. Recommended PCB printing service: JLCPCB.
Documented Treble Boosters Schematics
I am preparing a detailed document about all the treble boosters that
got to my hands. Here is a guide with tested schematics.
Drilling Guides for 3D Printing
Designed to ease pedal drilling on Hammond cases (it needs slight changes with Tayda and similar brands). Recommended filament: Polymaker PolyLite or similar.
Sockets for 3D Printing
Printed to avoid scratching cases during assembly. Recommended filament: Polymaker PolyMax or Fiberon.
