USER'S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Catalinbread Naga Viper Boost!
The Naga Viper is a booster in the grand old tradition of the Dallas Rangemaster "Treble-Booster". The
Rangemaster has been used by many in uential British guitarists including Tony Iommi, Brian May, Marc
Bolan, and KK Downing and Glen Tipton of Judas Priest. These guitarists, while completely unique in their
styles, share the Rangemaster secret of boosting their cranked tube amps into a juicy, harmonic-laden
rock tone that always cuts through the mix.
The Naga Viper is our version of this famous circuit and it enhances the classic circuit with the addition of
two extra controls - Range and Heat. The original Rangemaster had just one control - Boost. The Range
knob is a continuous control allows you to go from classic treble-boost to a full-range boost and
anywhere in-between. The original could only function as a "treble-booster". The Heat knob gives you
control over the gain level, unlike the original which was xed at maximum gain.

  • Page 1 The Naga Viper is our version of this famous circuit and it enhances the classic circuit with the addition of two extra controls - Range and Heat. The original Rangemaster had just one control - Boost. The Range knob is a continuous control allows you to go from classic treble-boost to a full-range boost and anywhere in-between.
  • Page 2 "push" to really saturate the front-end of your tube amp. But remember, the Naga Viper has a Range control that allows you to dial in exactly what frequencies get boosted.
  • Page 3 Use them! You'll nd that your guitar's volume control works to clean up the sound when plugged into the Naga Viper. If you are using the Naga Viper into a DLS MkII or CB30, you'll nd that even with high gain settings, you can still get a clean tone just by backing down your guitar's volume control! You could leave...
  • Page 4 So, I ended up with what we call the Naga Viper. Oh, btw, the Naga Viper is the current world record holder for the hottest pepper! Seemed like a good thing to call the world's hottest boost! ;-)
