Rangemaster and Fuzz Pedal WOW!!!

This is a cool pedal that a friend Ryan Hawthorn (Hawthorn Electric Arts) built, that I LOVE. It's based on a Dallas Rangemaster with NOS OC44 transistor combined with a vintage OC76 based fuzz circuit.

I just got done loading my Zemaitis with Dynasonic style pickups...

...and they sound great into this combo pedal, check this out, the fuzz stuff is panned to the right and I whack it open at the end for the slide outro solo...

That demo sounds great. I agree it's a great combination of pedals - I actually have a similar pedal, albeit with a Tonebender MKII as the fuzz circuit, built by JDM in Germany: https://www.joedocmusic.com/jdm_pedals_tonemaster/

Very interesting! You say Gemany, but he seems to operate out of the US. Is there a German/ European distributer? :salude

You made me doubt myself! The site says 'handmade in Berlin, Germany' and it was definitely posted from there when I ordered a few years back.

I looked hard at the JDM pedal a few years ago.

I ended up with a stand alone Rangemaster clone which I put in front of my OD808 and both of which I love to use in conjunction with my various OD and fuzzez.

Stacking rules!

I have a Vick Colorsound Overdriver clone and a Colorsound One Knob Fuzz clone, both of which have wild characteristics which make them so much fun to play. The Overdriver with the Rangemaster in front of it actually tone matches the One Knob Fuzz on its own while allowing for using each on their own.
