Custom Shop Ranger - Germanium Treble Booster / Rangemaster
The Fulltone Custom Shop Ranger is a modern take on a classic British tone-shaper that has graced the pedalboards of guitar legends for decades. At its heart lies a meticulously crafted germanium transistor circuit, delivering that coveted treble boost that defined the sound of early rock and blues. What sets the Ranger apart is Fulltone's obsessive attention to detail. They've painstakingly recreated the dynamic response and harmonically rich character of the original Rangemaster, but with a few modern tweaks that make it even more versatile. The single knob allows you to dial in the perfect amount of sizzling top-end, from a subtle shimmer to a scorching lead boost that cuts through the mix with authority. But this isn't just a simple treble booster – the Ranger also acts as a flexible tone-shaping tool. Crank it up to push your amp into sweet, musical distortion, or use it as a clean boost to add clarity and sparkle to your sound. Guitarists like Brian May and Eric Clapton famously relied on the Rangemaster to shape their iconic tones, and the Ranger pays homage to that legacy while offering modern players a fresh take on a time-honored classic. Whether you're a vintage tone purist or a sonic explorer, the Fulltone Custom Shop Ranger is a must-try pedal that will become an indispensable part of your guitar rig.
