Red Ranger Boost

Another Dan Armstrong beauty.

This clean boost is three in one, offering full range, treble or bass oomph. Don't ask us the specific frequency ranges! In the centre switch position you get up to 13db of full range boost. Flip it to treble and you get an extra 12db in the upper ranges. Down to the bass setting and you get the same again in the bottom end.

The original didn't have a volume control, but that's just a bit daft isn't it?

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
