From the timeline, we can’t be sure if it was an old-school discrete transistor-based circuit like the famous Rangemaster or a modern one using an IC circuit like the good old LM741 that was used in the MXR Distortion Plus. The trademark Ricky King sound was always ultra clean and free of any overdrive and distortion, so the boost was for sure moderate. We don’t know exactly how much is being boosted, and we don’t know what exact circuit was used. Keeping the timeline in mind-we’re talking about the mid ’70s-and from the description (boost plus EQ), I’m pretty sure we’re talking about a treble-booster circuit with a fixed boost because there’s no additional element to control the boost level. One of the switches engaged an onboard preamp that boosted both the volume and treble. With this description, it’s not too difficult to re-engineer the original Ricky King wiring from the era when he recorded his greatest hits.
