Queen Tone in a Stompbox

The Catalinbread Galileo Treble Boost Foundation Overdrive pedal captures the treble-boosted Vox AC30 sound made famous by Brian May. Hybrid Rangemaster and AC30 preamp circuitry drives the signature throaty crunch. Volume, tone and gain controls shape the response. A limited-edition Red Special finish honours the original guitar.

Players Seeking That Signature Crunch

Guitarists who want May’s jangling cleans and singing overdrive without vintage amp stacks will appreciate the dynamic range. The circuit reacts to guitar volume changes for expressive playing. It is not suited for players needing modern high-gain saturation or multiple channel switching.

Three Knobs Shape the Sound

Volume, tone and gain knobs interact like the original amp and treble booster combination. Rolling back the guitar volume yields harmonic-rich cleans. Pushing the controls recreates the 30-amp wall-of-sound drive.

Questions about this item

Will the Galileo pedal work with my vintage Vox AC30 amp without changing its character?

The Galileo uses hybrid Rangemaster and AC30 preamp circuitry designed to complement that amp's natural response, letting the volume, tone, and gain controls blend with the AC30's voice instead of masking it.

How can I verify the Galileo is delivering the Brian May treble-boost sound once connected?

Roll your guitar volume down for jangling, harmonic-rich cleans, then turn it up and advance the gain to hear the throaty, jangly crunch that matches Queen's signature solos.

Does the limited-edition Red Special finish pedal include a power supply or patch cables in the box?

The product facts list only the pedal itself; a 9 V centre-negative power supply and any interconnecting cables must be purchased separately.
