Rangemaster Treble Booster Kit
With the Rangemaster Treble Booster you’ll be able to build your own Dallas Rangemaster, the most famous treble booster effect pedal and the first one of its kind! Responsible of some of the most recognizable rock tones of the ’70s (Clapton, Page or May are just some of the Rangemaster users), this treble booster has a warm and sweet sound with its germanium transistor amplifier.
With its only Boost knob, the Rangemaster Treble Booster delivers a wide tone palette. This pedal gives you a bright tone and is highly sensitive to dynamics: just by changing your playing or rolling back your instrument volume knob you can set a completely different tone. As it boosts the higher frequencies the Rangemaster Treble Booster also helps avoiding any treble loss present in long wires.
The Dallas Rangemaster is the most famous treble booster effect pedal, and it was the first pedal of its kind. This effect pedal was responsible from some of the most famous ’70 rock tones: Eric Clapton in Cream, Jimmy Page in Led Zeppelin or Brian May in Queen. Unlike other treble boosters, the Rangemaster has a really sweet sound thanks to its germanium transistor. To avoid any polarity issue with your other pedals, in this circuit we’ve used a negative ground. That means that you’ll get the same tone from your Rangemaster Treble Booster and power it from a standard negative power supply, instead of having to use an isolated positive power supply!
The Rangemaster Treble Booster only has one knob, but it’s more than enough to create a wide tone palette. As the pedal is touch-responsive, you can get a whole new tone simply by rolling back your guitar’s volume knob! While it had its origin on the need for boosting the high frequencies in the typical dark British amp sounds, now the Rangemaster Treble Booster is really useful to get a brighter tone and avoid any highs loss present in long wires.

This was the first kit I ordered from them. The packaging is well thought, and the parts that go to the board are in a different bag than the ones that are attached externally like jacks or stompswitch. The instructions are very clear, and they add the color coding for the resistors. This is very useful if you are not used to read this kind of parts! All the wiring is also explained in detail. In summary, a kit that anyone can build. And on top of that, it sounds great!
