QR Code Link to This Post
One of the original hand-wired versions under the “Tonemaster” brand before being switched to the “Vindicator”. Made with premium hand selected germanium transistors this is JDM’s flagship guitar pedal; a combination Rangemaster-style treble booster and Tonebender-style fuzz.
The combination of our improved versions of the Rangemaster- and Tonebender-style circuits offers an impressive palette of sounds. You can create everything from a mild and creamy boost/overdrive tones to sizzling tonebender fuzz, and on into stupid-ill fuzz/octave/alien ESP reception mayhem. You will love the tones you can create with this beast.
Assemble by hand, using vintage European and Russian Germanium transistors. Even though we use vintage PNP transistors, it is powered by a standard negative ground PSU, which means it can share a power supply with all your other pedals. Battery power is possible with a standard 9v battery (clip inside).
Our pedals are handmade, tuned, and each pedal is tested and tweaked for optimal tone (transistor selection is key).

“Rangemaster” and “Tonebender” style circuits separately switchable

“Tonebender” circuit includes Fuzz, Bias, and Volume (Output) for an incredible range of fuzz sounds from mild and creamy to just plain rude. Remember to lower your guitar volume a tad for maximum “fuzz” reactivity! Classic tones from searing fuzz to tight overdrive and chunky distortion.
