Rangemaster Clone

Post by gtrmac »

I made a Rangemaster Clone with parts from Small Bear Electronics. I thought it would be fun to use with my 18 watt 'Mini Bluesbreaker'. Well it exceeded my expectations to say the least. Although it's a somewhat primitive device the tone is worth it. With a Strat the marshall sounds like a Vox and with my friend's Rickenbacker 330 you're in George harrison territory immediately. I still haven't tried the Les Paul but I'm hoping for the "Beano" tone with that combination. Brian May lead sounds are another possibility.

I recommend the project for all you 18 watt builders.

Hey Mac, I have been trying to get in touch. The tolex was returned because I did not put enough postage on the flat. I am resending it. My hard disk crashed last week and I lost your email address. If you could, drop me a line at sphin@grnco.net. Thanks.
