Description

The Range is a treblebooster based on the legendary Dallas Rangemaster. It has the same features but some addons. It works with a germanium PNP transistor and uses a toggle-switch to switch between different input capacitors which makes it more versatile. It also features negative ground, so you can use the power-supply you use for your ofter effects.

This kit contains all parts you need to build a fully functional effect pedal.

Not included in the kit, but also very good to have:

  • Aluminium enclosure: select one above.
  • 9V battery or DC power supply
  • 1 nice knob for the potentiometer, for 6.3mm shaft
  • Decal, transfer or transparent sheets for labeling


Instrument: Guitar
Effect-Type: Boost

5 from 5 Very easy to build, does the job

You can build it in a couple of hours. I recommend to use a signal generator and an osciloscope to adjust the transistor polarization. Using the standard values gave a very asymmetrical signal, but it is expected with a very small feedback design. However, some may like the asymmetrical signal sound.
Just try it and see what you like.

4 from 5 Excellent booster

Javais déja acheté quelques kits il y a bien longtemps mais là les kits ont fortement évoluer , les circuits imprimés sont bien meilleurs, les composants de très bonne qualités seul les jack femelles sont de moyennes gammes je trouve mais sinon ça le fait pour le prix, sinon ce kit niveau son ça le fait , jai pas testé assez longtemps la pédale pour avoir un vrai jugement digne de ce nom, la seul chose que je peux dire cest quil faut une bonne alim bien isolée parce quelle produit pas mal de souffle, sinon on sent réellement les différences avec le switch 3 positions, pas mal pour booster une disto parce contre pour le son clair je trouve ça assez moyen .

5 from 5 Great Booster pedal

This was my second pedal build after a Rat pedal kit and I can say this was an easy one. Great sound I love it, great to boost an overdrive or distortion. Thanks Muzikding Im really glad with that pedal

5 from 5 Indispensable / Essential

Très bon kit, facile et rapide à monter.
Le boost est bien là ! Avec une Strat, une Télé ou une Les Paul, tout passe.
Testé sur un Fender transistor et un Marschall (JCM 900) ça fait le job++ en clair comme en saturé. Un vrai couteau suisse pour se faire entendre plus fort !!

Very nice Kit, fast and easy to assemble.
The boost is there ! With a Stratocaster, a Telecaster or a Les Paul, everything works.
Tested on both Fender (transistor) and Marschall (JCM900) it does the job++ in both clear and saturated. A real Swiss knife to sound loader !!
