About the FORMULA B Fuzz Rangers
The Formula B Fuzz Rangers takes two iconic circuits and encloses them in a beautifully finished chassis with vintage-style controls.
New for 2024, the Fuzz Rangers now includes top-mounted jacks and simultaneous channel off using just one footswitch.
With the option to run the Fuzz or Boost independently, it's an incredibly flexible pedal for your pedalboard, but where it gets interesting is that there's a toggle to set the direction of the signal. You can choose whether to run the Boost into the Fuzz, or vice-versa. The results differ dramatically...
Running the Boost into the Fuzz saturates the input of the Fuzz Face circuit and gets you a rich, warm, super-fuzzy character.
Running the Fuzz into the Boost gets you a clearer tone with plenty of volume to push your amp.
More than simply for fans of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, this pedal will serve you well with its vintage vibe and tonal flexibility.
Fuzz Rangers Fuzz Circuit
The Fuzz circuit is based on the silicon Fuzz Face, using a pair of NOS military-spec BC108 transistors and carbon-layer resistors. It sounds great on its own, and reacts really nicely to your guitar's volume pot - as genuine Fuzz Faces do.
Fuzz Rangers Boost Circuit
The Boost circuit is based on the Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster, with silicon BC549 transistors to reduce compatibility problems (polarity, power etc) with the Fuzz circuit.
Uniquely, there's a toggle switch to adjust the Boost frequency cut, making it more flexible than a traditional Rangemaster:
Low Gives you a full-frequency response including the bass.
Mid Focuses on the low-mid frequencies for a vintage valve-like frequency response.
Hi Focuses on the upper frequencies for a lovely glassy sound.
Simultaneous Channel Off
New for 2024, the Fuzz Rangers now allows you to power off both channels of the pedal simultaneously by using only one footswitch - no more tap dancing!
Press and hold the footswitch on the Fuzz side for a few seconds until the status LED starts blinking. You can now use either footswitch to power off both channels together. To return to the standard, independent mode, simply repeat this process.
