VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster: Unleash the British Bite [Malaysia/International 2026]

Have you ever wondered how legendary guitarists like Brian May or Rory Gallagher achieved that iconic, singing overdrive?

The secret weapon was often a simple British Treble Booster pushing a cranked VOX AC30 into its harmonic sweet spot.

We are beyond excited to announce that the VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster is coming soon to our store, bringing that legendary 1960s tone to your modern pedalboard with zero compromises!

The Heart of Vintage Tone: BC108 Silicon Precision

Traditional vintage boosters are famous for their Germanium transistors, which sound incredible but are notoriously unstable in hot weather.

VOX has solved this by using a hand-selected Silver Can BC108 Silicon transistor, specifically biased to emulate that warm, non-linear Germanium "breakup" while remaining rock-solid and quiet.

Whether you want a glassy chime or a saturated lead roar, this pedal responds to your touch like an extension of your amplifier.

"The first time we heard the prototype of this unit, the room went silent. It’s got that raw, '60s aggression but without the annoying hiss of a vintage unit. It's pure rock and roll magic!" — Guitarlicious Staff

VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster: What's New?

1. Germanium Soul, Silicon Stability

Authentic vintage character that won't change its tone based on the room temperature.

2. Exceptional Volume Cleanup

Roll back your guitar’s volume knob for sparkling cleans, then dime it for instant sustain.

3. The Fat Switch

A game-changer for players with bright guitars (like Strats or Teles) to add low-end heft and body.

4. Modern Reliability

Features a compact, rugged enclosure and is fully compatible with standard 9V pedalboard power supplies.

VOX Vintage Series: VTB-1 vs. VFZ-1

VOX is releasing two heavy hitters in this series, each serving a distinct purpose for your signal chain:

VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster

This is your dynamic tone enhancer. It focuses on boosting the upper-mids and treble to cut through the mix, making it the perfect "always-on" pedal for classic rock and blues.

VOX VFZ-1 Fuzz

While the VTB-1 focuses on clarity and push, the VFZ-1 Fuzz is all about wall-of-sound saturation. Based on the Mk 1.5 circuit, it offers a thicker, more compressed distortion for those who want to get heavy and psychedelic.

Secure Your Fine Cup of Tea

The quest for the ultimate British rock sound is almost over. Whether you're pushing a small tube amp at home or screaming through an AC30 on stage, the VOX VTB-1 is the key to unlocking those hidden harmonics.
