RM Velvet

The BSM RM Velvet is a modern take on a classic British treble booster that defined the sound of rock guitar in the 1960s and '70s. At its heart is the same rare OC76 germanium transistor found in BSM's acclaimed OR model, which gives the Velvet a wonderfully smooth, silky tone that's a far cry from the harsh, fizzy sound of lesser boosters. Where the original Range Master was used by icons like Eric Clapton, Rory Gallagher, and Brian May to add bite and presence to their single-coil rigs, the RM Velvet takes that formula and refines it. The tone is rounder and warmer, yet still packs a punch that cuts through the mix. Dial up the volume and you'll unleash a fat, singing lead sound that retains all the clarity and articulation of your guitar's pickups. Back off the volume, and you can coax a wide range of crunchy, touch-sensitive overdrive tones. What makes the RM Velvet so special is the way it interacts with your amplifier. Vintage tube amps like Fenders and Marshalls tend to lose high-end sparkle as you crank the volume, but the Velvet restores that top-end shimmer, allowing your amp's natural character to shine through. It's a perfect pairing for blues, classic rock, and hard rock styles, recapturing the glory days of British guitar tone.
