MINT vintage 1966 Dallas Rangemaster 4 Marshall Bluesbreaker +Guarantee card NoR. ORIGINAL not re-issue – Finest one on the Planet No Res. Be sure to check out my new website for more details on me and more pics of this great item! Now, this is something that does not come along every day! Original circa 1966, John E Dallas & Sons Ltd, Rangemaster Treble Boost, gain distortion device in MINT condition. And get this – with original serial numbered guarantee card. This is the famous and now rare (even rarer in this condition) gain boost unit that according to legend, Clapton got that amazing sound from with his 1960 Les Paul and his Marshall Bluesbreaker combo on the classic Beano album. Unfortunately within a few months of the original Rangemaster’s release the battery it was designed for (Vidor VD-4) became obsolete so all of these have had this conversion done otherwise you would never be able to use them. This one I think is the finest one available on the planet right now and is in mint condition aside from a small area of zinc plating corrosion on the chassis and a minute amount of discolouration along the edge. Even guarantee card is excellent but does have a couple of stains on it. No rips or tears though. Original germanium transistor (OC-71) and 20k pot that is said to give it more crunch than the 10k you occasionally see. How does it sound? I took it to my tech and we plugged it in and yes, it is quite something. Controlled crunch with buckets of clarity and we were immediately impressed with this un-assuming unit, in fact quite gob smacked by how good it does actually still sounds in 2017, 50+ years after it came out. As you are probably aware these were used by and favoured by the likes of Eric Clapton o the Beano album, Tony Iommi, Mark Bolan, Brian May and Rory Gallagher. Please have a good look at the 20+ high resolution photos I have posted to fully appreciate the AMAZING condition this great unit is in.
