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

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.

Iron Man

Great pedal and easy to build even if you are beginner.
In my ears AC125 - hFE=80-90 sounded great.
Three position : full, treble and classic, so more variant here.
Deliver was fast and contained all the parts you need.
I named it Iron Man Treble Booster :)
5/5 Good job Musikding.

Très bien

Les composants et PCB sont de bonne qualité. Facile à monter, même pour un néophyte.

Great booster

Easy to build booster pedal, the electronics did not take up a lot of space. I put it inside my guitar so it can be easily flipped on for playing a solo. Documentation is clear and understandable.

cool

premier essai dans lassemblage et résultat impeccable montage facile. cest cool de pouvoir monter et personnaliser des pédale à ce prix la. je personnalise avec les couleur de led et jimprime sur les papier décalco.
Une couche de vernis par dessus pour finir. Rendu audio meilleur quavec des multi-effets.

Really good effect pedal

I built this pedal and used it in front of my marshall 5 w tube clone. I love it!!!
thanks Musikding.

Nice, easy first build

Nice intro into kit building and schematic reading, nothing too taxing for a novice like me

Ticks the boxes

Yes. This is the booster you are looking for. Works great before a hot amp as well as a gentler warmer before a clean amp.

Instructions clear and easy to follow.

The drilling was not dead center but the sound made up ror it.

Brow! brow! brow! dinoo dinoo, dinoo dinoo

Sounds exactly like I hoped. Pretty straight forward build. Only thing that made it a challenge were the pre-cut wires being a bit of a stretch with the top mounted jacks especially if wanting to fit a battery (and myself accidentally following the old BOM...)
Hopefully theyll update the kit, but consider ordering some extra length wire if you dont have some already.

I like the input cap settings, but Id recommend socketing those and the transitor for experimentation, maybe an adjustable resistor for biasing.

Super son

Utilisée seule pour un petit crunch ou devant une overdrive, le son est exactement ce que jattendais. Jen profite pour féliciter musikding pour leur rapidité et leur gentillesse, jai rarement vu ça :)

very nice indeed

Good quiet pedal, easy to build, was my first build since ages. Leads for top mount too short, but enough cable to extend. Found some extra info and photos usefull at: https://declanbright.com/box/musikding-germanium-treblebooster-guitar-pedal-kit.
Recommendend for everyone, who wants a simple but versatile pedal.
