- I built this pedal with my father a few months ago - and I'm loving it more and more each day. It's a steal, you can personalize the housing any way you want - and into a dark amplifier it's a dream. Combine it with an EQ-Pedal and an Octaver and you're good to rock!

The first loop is just beautiful and the pedal sounds great too. So cool that you built it with your dad, just like Brian May built his guitar.
I built mine yesterday and I'm quite satisfied. But still, to get rid of the brittleness and fizz underlying the sound of my AC15C1's cranked gain stage, I have to turn up the master volume until the power tubes overdrive. So far, the window panes are still in one, there's hope for the rest of us... I guess that's simply the way it is. I'll have to buy an AC4 C1-12, I suppose, to do it without all the world to hear. But THE RANGE, or DER RANGE, like it is in German, is GREAT! And fun to solder and assemble, very well assorted parts and minute instructions online for download and print.
Did you have to buy the knob seperately?
Great demo, and great playing! Thanks for sharing.
It also works very well into a Tube Screamer.
I use the spark on a lot of Songs Live infront of my Marshall DSL100H in Lead channel. Gives it that little extra bite and aggression
glad i found this, great review!
Thanks! That was helpful.
I built mine today and actually it sounds pretty good, the only thing the three-way switch with the three different capacitors has no noticeable change in tone to me, I think the values are not spread out far enough. If you've done any modifications let me know but I think I'm going to try and change at least two of the capacitors valuems so that it has more of a tone variation. Great demo.
I'm not familiar with this project, but I assume it's a Dallas range master clone.
If so, and if it's changing C2, the output cap, raise this input cap value.
Stock was 4.7 in and 8.2 out
You'll need the I put to be equal to the largest cap on your switch.
For reference, big muffs ran a ~100-110n input, bass big muffs doubled that.
Higher = more bass.
Remember, this is "treble booster"
@@jeremywinnett6352 Normally people change input caps on those treble boosters. Try to double and half the two outer ones.
Really good booster for jcm800.For less money 😜👍
A little Blues Power ;)
It sounds great! I might have to build one. What patch cables are you using?
Great little pedal there, sounds very usable for classic rock and metal sounds (Tony Iommi, Brian May etc.). Thanks for the demo. Btw is it noisy?
The pedal I built is not noisy at all. It's more like an overdrive rather than a distortion box. Great pedal.
@@shoebirdsgearaddictv489 thanks for your answer. That's great! Probably gonna try it, too.
IT a copy of Dallas RangeMaster used by Brian May in the early 70's with the deacy and AC30
This lick is beautifull? Own composition or what?
Well, thank you. And yes, it is.
Amazing video, I’m going to build mine treble booster shortly using this kit (I just purchased a military OC44 Mullard to be used instead of the stock ge transistor)
One question: how did you build the logo for your pedal?? It’s amazing, I want one too!! 😂
Greatings,
Filippo
If you didn't want to build one what pedals out there are like this?
Formula B Fuzz Rangers has a range master and fuzz face circuit with switchable order. Sounds absolutely incredible and cleans up with guitar volume for the glassiest tones imaginable
Cool! I also like the design of the box. How did you make it?
I ordered mine from Schildermaxe.de. Designed my own plate, put two screws through it - done! :-)
@@shoebirdsgearaddictv489 awesome! did you choose a plastic plate for it?
@@shoebirdsgearaddictv489 late, but what plate did you use? also, could you list all the other components that aren't included in the kit such as the LED or the knob?
i bought the May Treble Booster from Musik Ding with pre-drilled enclosure, the footswitch hole is at the bottom right corner, the others are randomly placed, I painted it but never used it, it's been drilled in such a stupid place, no other pedal has the footswitch here, Musik Ding said 'No , customer is wrong, all pedals have random holes like this', no centre marks, nothing, every German company has crappy customer service, Musik Ding has the worst.
That is some of a generalization, a lot of German companies have great customer service, just to name a few: Tube Amp Doctor, Tube Town and Thomann.
How do you get such a nice nameplate on it....?
I have the same question !
