Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster Treble Booster

[thebeastman88]

can i buy it from you?

[ozi76]

@thebeastman88 sorry mate, not for sale. there's been 1 on ebay recently for £1000, didn't sell though

[chimpsticks1]

Funny how a rangemaster type effect just brings an amp to life. I built a clone and have it permanently switched on with my Epi Valve Jnr.

[blackcloud1969]

Oh and if anyone is looking for a substitute I use the classic oc44 booster by flynn amps. And its amazing. still want an original though

[blackcloud1969]

omg i'd die to have that. need a better amp than that. try it through british made vox ac30 on the normal channel with volume at 7. You'll think you'd died and gone to heaven. Im so jealous

[emjee]

I see you are using a Strat, but it looks like the rear and middle pickups have been replaced with humbuckles? Is that right? Thanks! Sounds really good to mate!

[ozi76]

@emjee its a Richie Sambora Mexican Strat mate, it's got a humbucker in the bridge and a Floyd rose.

[777jordan]

sounds really good!

[sacerdotiza84]

i want to make one rangemaster. I need photos of the circuit of your rangemaster !!!!!!!!!! please love, send me a lot of pics of the circuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slpplexi1969]

@sacerdotiza84 Use Google. Thousands of schematics, pictures, layouts, wiring diagrams, insrtuctions, etc.

[sacerdotiza84]

this is an original rangemaster?????

[ozi76]

@sacerdotiza84 yes mate, it's an original - it used to be my dads. My playing  doesn't really do it justice though.

[777jordan]

@ozi76 meh, does it justice enough!

[AceOnTheBass100]

Oops!  Just saw your reply that it's an original. My bad.

[AceOnTheBass100]

Just curious - original Dallas Rangemaster or the current reissue by JMI Music?

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

Is the Boost control switch on Rangemaster on and of switch?

[ozi76]

a switch to turn it on and off and a nob to turn the boost up and down

[brianmayguitarist]

[paperbea]

[BritishBluesMan89]

[ozi76]

yes mate, it's knockin on a bit now though

[TheBlackjack50]

with marshall should never try a fender

[hum1]

would you be interested in selling the rangemaster? I am looking for one. Please PM if you are interested. Thanks!

[daviemcf]

There's a remake of the "Rangemaster",it's called the "Hawk" booster but very pricey at £185.

[ashton8504]

i have one. how much you willing to offer?

[essguitarman]

how much u want?

im interested

[essguitarman]

around how much do you want?

[abradfordajb]

What's that foot effect you clicked on? The Rangemaster seems to have little if any usable effect; but when you clicked your floor effect on, your sound came alive. Rgds.

[ozi76]

That was just to switch to the boost channel on my amp. The Rangemaster definately makes a difference, unfortunately i don't really have the skills to do it real justice.

[MrGit76]

@abradfordajb

Its the amp man. The Rangemaster is designed to push tubes into overdrive. The 8080 doesn't have power tubes. 1 preamp tube doesn't count..to each his own, but to hear the real Rangemaster "magic" check out some other demos.

[PutItAway101]

Smokin'. Nice find !

[guitarnlax36]

where did you get that rangemaster?

[ozi76]

My dad bought it in the 70's and my uncle recently found it hidden away in his garage.

[laksman21]

I can´t undrestand. A demo is to compare.... not to masturbate.

[IommiFanxSG]

was absolutely thrilled to see an original dallas rangemaster treble. very hard to find. you're one lucky sob

[guitarman1432010]

@IommiFanxSG I have had one from the sixties but you can't get the batteries now. It uses a Vidor VT4 - 4.5 vols. I might as well get rid of it as I can't use it.

[StephenRedrobe]

@guitarman1432010 - The Vidor VT4 was a 9 volt battery, equivalent to an Ever Ready PP4, so you should have no problem.

[ConaHemmi]

ahh this is cool well done. what amp u use mate?

[ozi76]

Marshall 8080

[blondegraemey]

Great to see a real Rangemaster! They are very rare, Well done! Sounds great when you add it to the drive channel.
