Yeah, man. Good stuff. 🤙 I build fx pedal for fun and always seem to return to the RM (and other TB circuits) as personal favorites. Can’t beat them. Enjoy 🙋♂️🎛️😎
Ich danke Dir vielmals! 🙏🏻🙂 Fandest Dus im Normal Channel oder im Top Boost Channel besser? Mit dem Amp 1 fand ichs auch mega. Deswegen hab ich den Demo Song damit gespielt.
That p90 really nails the doom metal sound. I have to get a guitar with those..maybe a cheap epiphone. Should still work. I'm into the band trouble. They have the best classic heavy metal doom sound in the guitars. If they're using a treble boost, they're not saying anything but I have a feeling they are. And I already know what they use. I just think they're leaving some secret out of the picture.
Thank you! 😁 Do you prefer the normal or the top boost channel? As a singlecoil guy my 335 is the only humbucker guitar I can live with at the moment. I might need a Les Paul at some point, though. But yeah, humbuckers and me… Complicated.
It depends on the application. For a fat drop d Riff, I prefer the normal channel with the rangemaster, but Rory sounded glorious on the top boost channel. We may look into some Schaller humbuckers from the 80s together.
@@GoldrushMusic-hs7hg I like controlled low end. So I prefer the Top Boost channel. But that might be a whole different animal with the cab in the same room. In the studio it just fits the mix better, when the bass is not overpowering. I prefer singlecoils for the same reason. Plus they sound alive! 🙌🏻 But I‘m ready to learn something new! 😃
This man knows his sh*t. Thank you for this awesome Video. Almost all of my guitars have a treble bleed circuit, so a treble booster sounds a bit over the top with my setup, but I do have a rangemaster copy for certain applications.
Thank you, my man! 🙏🏻🙂 Yeah, with a treble bleed it usually gets way too harsh, when you turn down the volume. Whenever I encounter a treble bleed in a new guitar, I just clip it off… 😅
Hi man, great video! I've come to the conclusion that I need a treble booster to brighten up the sound of my guitar with active EMG pickups. Do you think it's worth using a pedal with a classic circuit of rangemaster, or is it better for my pickups to use something modern like the tc electronix spark and stuff like that?
@@mqldev Thank you! 🙏🏻🙂 Hmm… I don’t know if a classic Germanium treble booster will work with active pickups. Isn’t that basically the same like a buffered signal? I can’t test it either, because I don’t have anything with active pickups. 🤔 If you have other guitars with passive pickups, get a treble booster and try it. If the active guitar is all you got, I‘d go with something like a spark, a tubescreamer or even an SD1.
@@manuelbastian Thanks for the answer! When I bought the esp eclipse, I sold all my guitars, satisfied with everything, but the EMG pickups are too hifi for the vintage crunch sound. I've been playing through processors for a very long time, it's recently glitched and I'm temporarily playing through an analog preamp, and I realized that even minimal digital latency kills the "magic", it doesn't even matter how good the sound is, the analog preamp works better for my hands, and I'm also tired of constantly picking up IRs, I just want sit and play. An active pickup has a built-in preamp, I think you're right, it's equal to using a pedal with the active buffer before the rangemaster. I'll try spark, it seemed to me that it could be configured as close as possible to the virtual rangemaster fx module that I played on processors.
@@mqldev Sometimes the simple stuff wins. When I play at home, I often play an old Fender Champ. 8“ speaker, volume, treble, bass. That’s it! And it sounds huge! 🙂 You could also try a Boss GE7, they are fairly cheap and great boosters. 👌🏻
Bravo Manuel, wie immer tolle Demonstration! Ich liebe den Glassy-Sound. Ich benutze einen treble booster von Vox. Mir scheint, dass Rory Gallagher einen benutzt hat!
I bought my first guitar and amp in 1964 and the seller threw in a Rangemaster with the deal. I used it for years playing in a band, just to give me more volume as I couldn't afford a decent amp. Back then there was no 'pedal scene' and any pedal was a rarity - everyone just plugged their guitar straight into the amp. Some time in the 80s or 90s I threw the Rangemaster away as I wasn't ever using it! One of the biggest mistakes of my life!
@@manuelbastian Yes 😢 At least I still have an old photo with me using it, and an Marshall Fuzz Box. (I kept that, thank God, and sold it a couple of years ago for £1k!) The amp was a tiny thing, I can't remember the brand. But the guitar - my first - was a Hofner Galaxie. Aain, long gone.
