Maple Booster Pedals

About

I am a PhD student in Political Science at the University of Toronto, specializing in International Relations and Public Policy. Alongside my research, I craft treble boosters inspired by classics like the Dallas Rangemaster, Orange Treble Booster, and more.

Each pedal is handcrafted to order, blending vintage tone with modern reliability. For questions, feel free to contact me at mapleboosterpedals@gmail.com.

I made an Instagram profile and a YouTube channel where I show my pedals.

You can purchase my pedals on my Reverb shop or directly through Wise (payment button coming soon!).
