From the vendor
Gotta love a RangeMaster, right? Beautiful treble boost, a bit - or a lot - of grit to on your tone. So it's nice to see one from a master of tone goodness.
This blue box of boost has a Range control, so you can choose how much bottom end you want to push. Keep it toppy to bite through the mix, add some oomph to fill it out.
Then control how much Boost to bring - there's a big range on offer here, right up to all-out overdrive.
Don't worry about where it is in your chain - a handy transformer hides in there pretending to be a pickup, so you get the very best boost without a care.
Supplied with board-mounted pots with round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs).
If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.
Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.
Enclosure (pre-drilled) is only available with full kits, and will take a battery if desired, with the footswitch positioned 22mm closer to the pots.. Knobs are not included.
Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
