Latest Build - Tube Driven Rangemaster

[IbanezRG95]

for anyone who is interested...



My latest build; a tube driven rangemaster, which is basically a valvecaster with a few values changed, running into an NPN (2N388) dallas rangemaster with a switchable input capacitor. Gets a really nice sound.

The 20awg cloth wire might be a bit of overkill, but it looks cool, and ive got a thing for solid wire   


Next on the build list is a dr. boogey. I tried to build it after my first project about 3 years ago, which was a little 386 based amplifier, and... well I certainly got my ambitions mixed up with my capabilities. After a few failed projects and then finally some working projects that I am really happy with, I think it is time to revisit the dr. boogey.

^^^  Yeah, liking the "rope" a lot...

Is the tube before or after the treble boost?

If before it will not have the tone shaping due to the guitar and cable interaction with the input of a treble boost like a RM circuit

Where did you get that sexy vintage looking wire? I have some in some early 70s tube amps so its not like I'll be harvesting that but I'd love to build with it!

Thanks everyone.

I built this for a friend, and having the tube before the rangemaster really nailed the sound that he wanted. I know that this isn't the 'traditional' (proper) way to do things, but he was really happy with it 

I got the wire from http://www.newoldsounds.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=61_63 . Im pretty sure http://tubedepot.com/ have the same stuff, but their shipping to Australia was way to expensive for me.
