 DALLAS ARBITER RANGEMASTER  

Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster

The classic treble booster from the mid-sixties! This small grey box pretty much defined British rock and roll of that era and was used by Eric Clapton during his stint with the Bluesbreakers. Later devotees of the Rangemaster included Rory Gallagagher, Toni Iommi, and most notably, Brian May of Queen. The Rangemaster isn't a stomp box at all but was originally intended to sit on top of an amp and act as the amps front end. One knob handles loudness duties while a slide switch bypasses or engages the effect. What the Rangemaster does is add a bit of high-end punch and presence to your signal. With a healthy 10db of boost, this device has no problem pushing the front end of your amp with a sweet crunchy overdrive. The modern day takes on theTreble Booster are worth checking out due to the welcome additions of stomp box switching and true bypass.
