Build Your Own: Dual Rangemaster / Fuzz Face

Everything you need to build a point to point dual Rangemaster / Fuzz Face.

In 2005, Analogman began producing a combination of the Beano Boost and Sun Face called the Sun Lion. Two classic clones of pedals made by Dallas Arbiter in the mid 1960’s. The result of this combination turned out to be much more than the sum of its parts - a versatile tri-germanium fuzz.

No expense spared in selecting parts for this build. The 50's military style eyelet layout and quality components will ensure this circuit will be blowing out your eardrums for years to come! The build document includes a parts list, layout diagrams, and step by step instructions with pictures. There is also a supplemental overview of popular boutique modifications, vintage variations, and circuit analysis for those who wish to take a deeper dive.

Included in kit:

- Instructions to build the Sun Lion circuit (dual Rangemaster / Fuzz Face).

- Vintage germanium transistors (currently ships with a genuine black glass Mullard for the Rangemaster and a pair of Texas Instruments transistors for the Fuzz side; transistor options available). Sorted for gain / leakage and tuned with an amp to sound true to the original.

- Pre-drilled, printed graphic enclosure (hammered copper stock; color options available)

- High tolerance carbon film resistors

- Alpha potentiometers (volume, fuzz, bias, boost level)

- Polyester film capacitors

- Vintage style jacks

- Heavy duty foot switches (rated 30,000+ cycles)

- 3-way toggle switch

- Eyelet board

- 9V power jack (standard center negative 2.1mm)

- LED and bezel

- Aluminum silver skirted knobs
