Musicworks Mr. Ranger
Stepping into the rich history of guitar tone, the dp Musicworks Mr. Ranger is a modern interpretation of a legendary sixties treble booster - the Dallas RangeMaster. While the original used a PNP germanium transistor, the Mr. Ranger opts for an NPN germanium, giving it a more versatile, negative-ground design that plays nicely with today's pedalboards. But this pedal is no mere clone. The dp team has meticulously refined the RangeMaster's classic voicing, adding a full-range overdrive mode that adds a touch of smooth, harmonically-complex gain to your signal. Dial in the perfect balance of crystalline highs and organic overdrive with the intuitive volume and tone controls, then toggle between the treble boost and full-range settings to find your ideal sweet spot. What makes the Mr. Ranger truly special, though, is how it captures the elusive magic of those vintage transistors. Germanium devices can be temperamental, but the dp crew has struck a brilliant balance, delivering all the touch-sensitive responsiveness and blooming overtones that made the original RangeMaster a favorite of legends like Brian May and Eric Clapton. Pair it with your favorite clean amp, and prepare to be transported to the golden age of British rock tone.
