Double trouble. A dual fuzz / boost pairing two iconic 60’s circuits in one enclosure.
The boost side is a faithful recreation of the 1965 Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster — a colored boost that emphasizes the upper-mid and treble frequencies of the guitar. This circuit features an EQ switch to select from three shades of boost with an added upper-mid and full-range settings. The circuit is true to the original in the “high” setting.
The fuzz side is a component-accurate reproduction of the late 60s Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face circuit featuring a curated selection of 60’s and 70’s germanium transistors (options below). The circuit is true to the original with the addition of an external bias control that allows the user to fine tune the texture and cleanup of the circuit.

Mullard GET / 1974 Texas Instruments - a hybrid pair of Mullard and Texas Instruments germanium transistors manufactured in the UK. Medium-high gain.
Mullard OC / Mullard GET - a hybrid pair of 1960’s Mullard transistors. Low gain. Excellent clean-up.
New Market NKT / New Market NKT - a close cousin of the New Market NKT275 transistor used in the earliest runs of Fuzz Faces. These early 60’s New Market transistors are highly regarded for their touch sensitivity and harmonic complexity.
This product uses vintage PNP transistors which require an isolated supply when using the 9VDC jack. Internal battery snap available by request. <15mA current draw.
