JDM Pedals "OC Boost" -Rangemaster Germanium Boost | OC44 or OC71

**Please Note - We have about a 1 Week lead time, each pedal is hand-made to order.

This pedal is built using an original OC71 or OC44 (please note which you prefer) black glass Germanium transistor. The OC71 and OC44 were the original transistors in the Rangemaster - the sound is smooth, powerful and with our mods can be shaped to perfectly match modern or vintage amps.

The basic feature set is the “Boost” control (naturally), and the “Range” control, taken from our JDM Tonemaster “EQ” control and ranging from the classic treble boost response, to a chunky, full-range boost as used by Tony Iommi on early Black Sabbath records.

We use modern components on a copper ground-plane board to ensure the quietest possible operation with a circuit that was known to produce some noise.
The analog voltage inverter allows you to run the pedal on either 9v block battery, or a standard, center negative ("Boss style") power supply. So this boost can be daisy chained with other pedals, despite the vintage Ge transistor!

As the original Rangemaster was voiced to boost the input signal to darker sounding vintage British amps, we've added a "cut" to tame harsh highs. The 3-way top-cut switch allows you to shave off “harsh” or “brittle” tones from the signal. It’s a 3-position switch with center off (off is classic rangemaster response). The other two positions we set to “just take off the edge” in one position (can help cut hiss or interference if you experience it at a gig). The second cut “warms up” the tone, just right for brighter American amps (Fender, Boogie…)
