I got the cv7003 from small bear, I used their suggested values for the resistors. used metal comp resistors.
I found the capacitors at this local shop in houston called EPO electronics parts outlet. It is a really cool store aisle 1 transistors, aisle 2 resistors, aisle 3 capacitors, etc.
They have a huge selection of random stuff. The only downfall is all the really good parts are sold out like they have drawers for germanium transistors but they are empty, and I don't think they are ever going to restock them. I think I wiped out of their Ge diodes too. ;D
The red caps are panasonic, and the radial electrolytics are NTE. sounds amazing!
I kept it simple with the build out. I didn't want to mess with a DC adapter or LED with positive ground.
For the finishing I just did a brushed aluminum finish using a drill and a black and decker FINE wire brush drill attachment.
Simple, yet elegant!

this is my 2nd rangemaster. I love this pedal. I think every player and studio should have one of these.
This time I got a little more mojo going on than the last one. I screwed up and ordered radial electrolytics so I had to run to the store and get some NTE axial electrolytics, but they work perfectly just less mojo.
I just got a hakko heat gun and some heat shrink so I have been going overboard with the heat shrink (you can see it on the dpdt switch)

I'm not sure about this knob. I left enough room so I can go chicken head if want too, but I think I might end up going with the large mxr with a rubber stopper becuase It is nice to adjust the boost on the fly.
any thoughts on the knob?
I labeled it "boost set" after I saw the same wording on the original. I like it, it seems like a very british way of saying things.
Whats giving the new rangemaster more mojo, the transistor?

I think he is referring to the axial caps

Finish came out great and I like the knob on this one. Wish we had one of those old electronics stores around her like you have in Houston.
Very nice man. I love my rangemaster.... As you said, every one should have one
