As guitar players we're always in search of that perfect tone. The modern electric guitar is a wild animal, as players we have to control, level, distortion, feedback and have the perfect sound for rhythm, yet our lead tone has to cut and sustain. In my own search for perfect tone. I tried all kinds of overdrive crunch distortion and fuzz pedals. I loved the way my tube amp sounded it just didn't get enough dirt for the band I was playing in, and every pedal I tried just sucked the sound out of my guitar and amp. I spoke to other guitarists about what they used to create their sound and what I kept hearing was treble boost. About that same time I read an article about Tony Iommi who relied on the Dallas Rangemaster to push his tube amps to get that classic Black Sabbath sound. |

The secret turns out to be Germanium transistors. And since hearing them for myself I agree, they do sound amazing. People compare them to the sound of large over drivin tube amps, like an Orange or a Marshall. |

I put together my first clone of the Rangemaster. I loved it and planned to build a 2nd one for my good friend Matt. of course I let him borrow mine before I finished building my 2nd one. He likes playing it so much I've still not gotten it back. | ||

Since then I've been building fuzz pedals with custom switch options tailored to the players needs like momentary stomp switches, or mini switches to change capacitor values. |
