RangeMaster Build (pics)

tungngruv · April 19, 2008, 01:47:19 PM

Just built a RangeMaster using some parts I got from Dragonfly and used R.G.'s terminal strip tutorial. Sounds amazing. Didn't even have to use trim pots to tune it, came in 7.1v right out of the gate. Just waiting on my cream Chicken Head knob from SmallBear. Thanks Andy and RG.

tungngruv · April 19, 2008, 01:57:33 PM

Great build looks really good. Nice work.

What kind of pot is that?

tungngruv · April 19, 2008, 02:32:42 PM

It's a bourns pot, 10k

BEAUTIFUL WORK ! Nice clean build...I love the 90 degree angles...

I wish I would've known you wanted a cream chickenhead knob ...I could've have sent one !

Thanks Andy!! Don't sweat the knob, you've done more than enough!!! BTW, I noticed you linked my soundclips on your site for the SE7EN Fuzz. I'm honored!!!!!!

That looks terrific Tony, one question though!
Did you use the bourns pot (conductive plastic if I'm not mistaken ) to get rid of the scratching sound when you turn it ?
I thought this noisy sound was due to DC on the pot ??

No, I used it just to have a pedal with all high quality parts. It does still scratch when moved but that's the nature of this pedal.

I love the looks of those caps

I'm thinking about building one too, got one of those old oc44's laying around beging to be used.

Nice clean work!

Wow! Beautiful... simply beautiful!

If I may ask, what enclosure did you use for that one?

tungngruv · April 20, 2008, 04:57:47 PM

I got it from a forum member here as a trade. It's from www.Smallbearelec.com.

An unfished box is around 8.00, powder coated (yellow in this case) is about 1.00 more. Do the math, right? I bought another immediately after this one came in the mail for a point to point Fuzz.

tony, you are a master of simple clean builds. i love it.

tungngruv · April 20, 2008, 09:03:30 PM

Thanks Joe. You forgot that I saw your point to point Easy Face. Mine look's pretty sloppy compared to that, but thanks anyway.

BTW Joe, check your PM, I think I have something you maybe can use.
