Pre-Owned Catalinbread Naga Viper Treble Booster

The Naga Viper Treble Booster: Classic British Bite with Modern Control

Vintage Rangemaster Tone with Expanded Features

The Catalinbread Naga Viper is a modern evolution of the legendary Dallas Rangemaster treble booster, designed to awaken your amp with the searing clarity and harmonic richness that defined British rock guitar. Favored by icons like Tony Iommi and Brian May, treble boosters like this one were essential in pushing already-cranked tube amps into rich, sustaining overdrive. The Naga Viper captures that vibe and enhances it with expanded versatility, offering a powerful set of controls: Boost, Heat, and Range.

Fully Sweepable Frequency Boost

Unlike the original single-knob Rangemaster, the Naga Viper's "Range" control allows you to dial in the exact frequencies you want to emphasize. from a sharp treble cut to a thick full-range punch. Whether you're tightening up a cranked British stack or adding cut to a Fender-style amp, this feature provides pinpoint tonal tailoring that works seamlessly with both single-coil and humbucker-equipped guitars.

Harmonic Saturation on Demand

The "Heat" knob lets you control how dirty your boost gets. At full counterclockwise, the Naga Viper acts as a clean boost that adds clarity and presence without grit. Cranked fully clockwise, it transforms into a traditional dirty treble booster that smashes your amp’s front end with glorious, singing sustain and vintage grit. This flexibility means you can go from articulate rhythm textures to full-throttle lead tones with a twist of a knob.

Pedalboard Friendly and Amp-Loving

Designed to work best when placed directly after your guitar and before fuzz or overdrive pedals, the Naga Viper maintains a direct connection with your pickups for the most responsive touch and tone. It’s particularly effective at pushing “amp-in-a-box” overdrives, such as Catalinbread’s own Dirty Little Secret or CB30, delivering saturated tones at lower volumes. Power it with 9 to 18 volts for different headroom and response characteristics, or drop in a classic carbon battery for vintage flavor.
