Product Overview
From the manufacturer:
The Brassmaster had a short production life (around 3-4 years) way back in the 70’s. It’s one of those pedals that has passed into some kind of mythology because of its rareness. But, there are good reasons to warrant the hype. It delivers that special kind of “highly compressed wall of fuzz” that you can really dig into. And, those units seem to go for four figures nowadays. Build one for 1/50th the price!
The BoomBoom is a 95% Brassmaster. It uses a more widely available transformer than the vintage unit (but similar spec) and it adds an output volume control.
Controls

• SENSE: Sets the input volume to the octaver/EQ circuit.:
• BRASS: Set the output volume of the octaver/EQ circuit.
• VOL: The total mixed output from the BASS, SENSE and BRASS controls.
• HARM: In the left position, this switch adds some extra octave up signal in parallel with the EQ

the right position is mids-scooped.
