Title: Codtone Rangemaster
Post by: Guitarmageddon on August 22, 2013, 03:52:25 AM
A Custom Rangemaster.

No knobs, battery only, wedge enclosure, etched face, NOS bits blah blah...

Used a particularly gainy tranny and biased it low and dirty- this one really screams!

In/out caps aren't the typical values either, 0.01uf and a nice PIO 0.068uf respectively.

Here's a better look at the box:
The enclosure cut down and filed- before copious wet sanding.

With the back on...

I take it the tap is stuck wide open? It's good to have some flexibility, but OTOH that is just COOL.

Yes, it is. It was how the dude wanted it, he likes a really simple rig and had a specific thing in mind.
Personally, I tend to run them wide open myself, but I usually like to build them with a "Range" control to adjust from treble to full range boost.

Guitarmageddon,
Very awesome.  Everything from the enclosure to the guts are spectacular.

Thats how i'd like to express it too!

...and i like Clean things. NO knobs is cool! The 3D/shaded font is also so right when its etched!

I love it.. The simplicity of it and that etch looks perfect. I really want to try a wedge cut, they look fun.
