you can now get one on reverb for $738.28. he even quoted Josh "If the price these are going for now offends you, look for another pedal because these are collectors items now. Josh Scott himself said this." :)))
I'm impressed by the market force displayed here. Obviously, the gear is top shelf quality (I have 2 JHS pedals and enjoy them very much!) but the thing that sells these pedals before anyone has heard them is the ethos put forth by JHS and the contagious fun they have doing the show.

Dope. Not gonna bitch about money or limited release. I appreciate the effort behind this even though you knew you could sell them all without a video.
@@jordan3119 It's extremely sad and pathetic. Best thing we can all do is NOT support those people trying to scam others. Like Josh mentioned, there's other treble boosters out there. Go that route.
I have a contest idea: fly a lucky winner into KC to watch the JHS Show live and treat them to some KC BBQ. I’ll volunteer myself if you need a test run.
@@mjsirro I just bought the last batch of vintage germanium OC71 transistors from eBay. I only have enough to make about 50 ringmaster pedals and I'm selling the first 10 for $300. Let me know if you want to reserve one. My pedal housing will look different but the circuit is identical to the original ringmaster trouble booster. After I run out of these transistors I won't build anymore because they don't make these transistors anymore.
Super fun event! I work so before watching the video I jumped to the site, and saw the pedal still listed. Clicked the purchase button to then learn they were sold out. Not even mad about it because it was an incredible exciting (although fleeting) moment to my Monday :) Love JHS :)
I just looked on Reverb...prices on this go from $410 [mint] to $1,000 [mint]. I was fortunate enough to get an original and LOVE it!!! I'll play it as long as I'm on this planet, and it will eventually be willed to one of my nieces or nephews, they can sell it once I'm gone! Nice job JHS team!
I had a Rangemaster in the 60s. I bought a Hofner Galaxie from a guy and he threw it in for free. I used it back then just as a treble booster for my mail order Linear 30w amp and home made 2x12 cabinet. I threw it away in the 80s as it had been in my gig back for years unused..... Back then no gear was seen as a 'collectors item', just tools to do a job.
Sounds and looks good! I didn’t know how much I needed/loved a treble booster type pedal until I happened to pick up an early creepy fingers sugar boost with the nos ray transistor and it’s probably my favorite pedal anymore. Just makes everything better
Right now they are selling for almost $500 on eBay. I bought a small batch of those transistors for an outrageous price and will be building Rangemaster clones if anyone is interested.
That’s the kind of December magic that lets a business survive January and February’s often abysmal sales (at least that is the reality for most retail businesses)
Josh you are a master of bringing back old circuits with parts that are no longer made by finding new or substitute parts. Can you please figure out how to make a ROCKMAN SUSTAINER pedal or X100 pedal cuz you cant get them unless you have like $500-$1000 and i think you could make a badass pedal
The funny thing about getting hit by a car in the Trader Joe’s parking lot is that my local TJ’s parking lot is basically a demolition derby. Watch out and be safe folks!!
This tone really sounds like something I can make with the gear I already have, so I’m fine with having missed out on this run. But I hope those who got it enjoy it!
I got my boost today, and it is working great with my Z Wreck Jr! Running it thru a handful of my drive pedals and they all play well with it, so this one is staying on the board!! Plus the whole aesthetic look is beautiful....
Wow. I guess I kind of knew on some level that JHS could be described as "successful", but really I had no idea. Even speaking as someone who buys pedals, and owns several that were Josh Scott recommendations on this channel, I would still describe a germanium treble booster as a "very niche product". To sell out a 700 unit run in ten minutes...that's quite the flex.
Hi Josh! Back in 1997 I started making Rangemaster copies. Nobody here in the States knew what it was. I had to educate people on them. It’s funny about the transistors.. I had bought a quantity of OC44’s and 1/2 of them had noise and low hfe. The chap the U.K. That sold them to me said that they were all good and he would exchange any bad ones for ,a yeah, sure. You can basically use any germanium transistor. Personally I like the NTK275’s as to my ears they sound great & better than the OC71. Dallas was a division of Arbiter which also built Sound City amps and they had the retail store and they had Drum City that was around the corner. Anyway, I built around 1,000 between 1997 to 2009. It was hard to build those, fix clients guitars & amps and be in a touring band, so I let the Rangemasters go.. it seemed like the public had lost interest for a while. I also tried to Trademark the name which was a lot more work than I realized. Good luck with these! I was building them one at a time. Regards; Don Butler/ Toneman, Inc.
I'm glad my friend built me a great germanium treble booster long before this with a very hard to find oc75 transistor I believe and it's socketed so I can try other transistors if I want
LMAO at the pre-written hate mail. This is one of the best looking, aesthetically pleasing pedals I've seen for JHS or anyone. Well done! No, I didn't get one. I'm seeing this a day late lol! Guess I should check IG and RUclips notifications more often ... :P
This is a great price considering the scarcity of suitable OC71's and labor required to test for the right values. No different than what Analogman and Jext Telez are doing for their Range Masters - look at those prices and you'll agree! Thanks JHS!
THANKS JHS PEDALS, for only the rich to buy up faster than anyone else has a chance to get their hands on to, plus I love how your designers forgot to put TOP JACKS, good work on that one.
Comparable alternative! To anyone who may be looking for a comparable treble booster since these came and went so fast, and since Josh made the comment at the end, I highly recommend the Analog Man Beano Boost! Iv had one for years (actually my first pedal) Analog Mikes take on the Rangemaster Treble Booster. Gotta say I havent felt compelled to buy another treble booster since, tho Id have loved to try one of these sold out ones.
Josh i want you to know that i stopped working two hours earlier before my lunch break (i'm a taxi driver) so i could be live and not miss out on this, without even knowing what it was going to be. Funny thing is i was thinking of buying a treble booster lately and you didn't disappoint 😀
@@jhspedals it sounds really good! Regarding Brian may you probably know this but he stopped using the rangemaster after some time in the 70s. He's using a knight audio technologies red 18 strap booster, a Shure digital wireless system and custom made ac30s made also by knight audio technologies. Having said your pedal will certainly give early queen tones!! It's a must. Nice work guys. Keep it up.
No worries. I'll find one later once pedal scalpers have moved on to the next thing like a Boss Tonebender mk 2 extra limited w/"incense & peppermints" mod.
I bought it before I even heard it, so I hope I like it. I really enjoyed the Solo Boost, but I missed out on that because it too was a limited release.
Missed this, but I saw Josh on the Instagram the other day playing it and instantly knew it was a treble booster, I am happy with my Greer Pork"n"Beans Treble Booster, sounds like it's a similar topology to the JHS version. Don't think Greer makes the Pork'n'Beans anymore, probably for the same reasons this is a limited edition, can't wait to see the crazy prices this gets relisted for on Reverb and Ebay starting in a week or so.
I’m such a fan of treble boosts! And yeah you definitely have to sort through transistors to get the right gain and leakage for a range master circuit! Great job JHS!
Let's be real. Not a single person bought it for the purpose of using it. It sold out in 8 minutes. They bought it to "try" it. Because there's no time to wait and watch reviews and shootouts and decide if it's worth it. Then either they will use it, or they will sell it for whatever it's going for on reverb. And I know you asked people not to scalp it. But the thing is inherently worth more than you sold it for once you are out of them. So it's hardly scalping.. it's just a rare item and that's what it's worth. My guess is some people will list it for $1000, but the general used price will end up being like $400.
@@christopherwade4626 Not really. I bought one. I have no idea if it's any good or if it's for me. No one does. They sold out 8 minutes after they were announced. So either people bought it specifically to sell it with no interest in playing it, or they are gonna do the same as me.. Try it out.. If it's good maybe I'll keep it. If it isn't for me, I'm gonna sell it. If someone got it as a gift, then the person they got it for doesn't know anything about it either and will have to make that same decision. There's only 700 and I doubt anyone bought it on accident. So it's just a logical assumption.
@@TheDilligan well, no idea if it'll sound well with my Sky King and JC77 amp...I have great MIAB pedals to stack in front, I have tweed style on my Sky King. If it was an Imperial MK2 Tone King I wouldnt have gotten it. But theres no time to think, given it's limited. I will full around with it, see if i like it...if not then i guess it's time to pay that credit card bill for the other pedals i bought this year. So same as you, will try it and if it doesn't work out just sell it. But I will be trying it in all matters in a studio for a day before i decide.
Fun is something I’ve always liked. That’s ok, right?! Ragemaster wrote a good letter, I think. Full of NOS nastiness and needless anger for us all to enjoy for all time. Thanks Josh! Your also pedal obsessed viewer, Chuk
I’m kinda glad I was tied up until after lunch and missed this sale cuz I would’ve bought one for sure. Sounds like my teenage years for sure! P.S. I *loved* the prefab hate email. Especially the “why not just make it for free and go out of business like a real man” line 😂
I'm a small time pedal Builder. I just bought a small batch of OC71 transistors. Let me know if you want to reserve one. I'm selling the first 10 for $300.
Here are some suggestions from our other pedal maker friends! Mythos Cestus (new!), Analogman Beano Boost, Pedal Pawn Texas Twang, Catalin Bread Naga Viper, Summer School Booster Booster, Union Snap, Madsen Amplifications GE Boost, TSL Studio Equipment Range T Booster, Massive DallasDevilsPlay, Keeley Java Boost, Dare Devil Silver Solo.
I’m really into the mini pedal format. Can/will you make us a mini treble booster with silicone transistors? I think Brian May uses silicone as it’s more temperature stable and still sounds good.
If you're wanting to get into the treble boost but aren't quite ready to spend the big money, check out the Berch Audio Fenris Ranger on Reverb. It doesn't sound exactly like this one but it's pretty cool for the money.
was traveling during the broadcast, so Saw this after it was all done. Probably saved me $249, and just as important inspired me to go back to the garage workshop and start sorting thru the hundreds of Soviet germanium transistors I got from Ukraine before the war started. I have a kit for building a Rangemaster clone and that seems a better option than giving the clown on Reverb $800 for the JHS Germanium Boost that he's flipping 🤣
Clever innovation: what we already liked about Josh Scott - and it appears he may be taking guitar lessons (finally!). I bet his coworkers had one of those ‘interventions’, like ‘we love ya Josh but ya gotta learn to play that thing if you’re gonna force us to play with you LIVE on youtube”. Keep practicing buddy!
Hi Josh, the Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster was the most surprising pedal I ever cloned, I was building it for my guitar player who never loved it enough, I am a play the Bass and It became one of the three pedals I always have in my pedalboard, together with a MOSFET booster (my take of the SHO) and a tube preamp I designed from scratch. I keep all of them on for my clean tone and turn off the Treble booster for my saturated sound. I wish I managed to put my hands ( actually my feet ) on a JHS Germanium boost to try your take on the circuit. Why don't you make a bass guitar demo? Ciao!
I would be bummed about these selling out so quickly if I didn't own an Analogman Beano Boost. A good treble booster is not something to be without. They do awesome things paired with your favorite (low wattage especially) tube amp. Easily my favorite way to get drive/distortion.
Josh said at the end of the solo video they made that he may go ahead and order the parts again to make another batch of them, but in the meantime they’re working on other projects.
There are no more parts I looked everywhere and ordered the last batch I found LOL. Right now the JHS Rangemasters are going for almost $500 on reverb. I'm selling the first few Rangemasters I make for $300. Let me know if you still want one and I'll reserve one for you.
@@cameronstolhand7149 Hey not sure what the Ringmaster is....I have the 66 Boost I might list seeing how this RM clone is selling I just got a Friedman so might not need all the pedals I was using for my Fender style amps which RM's don't work so well with The amp that the 66 really shined on is my Silvertone because they are on the dark side I will check out some Ring Master demo's which I now LoL realize is a RM clone Thanks and Merry Xmas I also have a Diaz clone so who inows
@@paulcowart3174 Sorry, I meant to say Rangemaster Treble Booster LOL. I'll have to edit that. It's the pedal that JHS cloned and sold in this video. The JHS version is called the germanium treble boost I believe.

Just buying to scalp. If anyone missed this, Ill be selling mine for $500,000 on reverb. Same price Josh was selling his Klon for.

Mythos Pedals "Cestus" (Treble Booster) is a great alternative for those who could not buy the JHS edition.
$249?! I could build this pedal at home for $9. Why not make it for free and let your company go out of business like a real man?
$249?! I need to get into the pedal building business.
I have a contest idea: fly a lucky winner into KC to watch the JHS Show live and treat them to some KC BBQ. I’ll volunteer myself if you need a test run.
To everyone who didn't buy this pedal, you can find a similar sound with Analogman Beano Boost
yes
I have a small batch of OC71 if anyone wants a clone built from a small-time builder.
For $249, I'm going to expect a signed, glossy 8x10 of Nick and Addison. You know, for later ... when they're famous(er) ...

@@TheDilligan well, no idea if it'll sound well with my Sky King and JC77 amp...I have great MIAB pedals to stack in front, I have tweed style on my Sky King. If it was an Imperial MK2 Tone King I wouldnt have gotten it. But theres no time to think, given it's limited. I will full around with it, see if i like it...if not then i guess it's time to pay that credit card bill for the other pedals i bought this year. So same as you, will try it and if it doesn't work out just sell it. But I will be trying it in all matters in a studio for a day before i decide.
Fun is something I’ve always liked. That’s ok, right?! Ragemaster wrote a good letter, I think. Full of NOS nastiness and needless anger for us all to enjoy for all time. Thanks Josh!
Your also pedal obsessed viewer,
Chuk
I’m kinda glad I was tied up until after lunch and missed this sale cuz I would’ve bought one for sure. Sounds like my teenage years for sure!
P.S. I *loved* the prefab hate email. Especially the “why not just make it for free and go out of business like a real man” line 😂
I'm a small time pedal Builder. I just bought a small batch of OC71 transistors. Let me know if you want to reserve one. I'm selling the first 10 for $300.
Josh dumb question but have you ever considered doing your take on a Rockman? The vintage units don't exactly fit on a board.
That hate e-mail was quite good. If I were to ever truly hate someone, I'd hope to be able to hate that person with that amount of eloquence.
I'd never want a pedal like this. Except when I see a video like this. I'll be fine.
Now I want one!😢 do you guys have suggestions of any modern day treble booster pedals?
Basically I like the sound of that, how can I get something similar 😅
I'm just a noob so I don't know however someone else in these comments wrote that Mythos Pedals Cestus is a great alternative to this.
Catlinbread Naga Viper
Here are some suggestions from our other pedal maker friends!
Mythos Cestus (new!), Analogman Beano Boost, Pedal Pawn Texas Twang, Catalin Bread Naga Viper, Summer School Booster Booster, Union Snap, Madsen Amplifications GE Boost, TSL Studio Equipment Range T Booster, Massive DallasDevilsPlay, Keeley Java Boost, Dare Devil Silver Solo.
what are you doing with your "b stock" transistors? inquiring builders want to know...
Any Marshall amps there? Would love to hear it through one of those.
Josh, you are a business genius. So many great lessons here.
The Treble Boost in my UA Ruby is amazing. Congrats to everyone who scored one of these!
JHS is becoming the kings of FOMO marketing.
Becoming??? No one does it better! 👑
$174k in 7 minutes...not bad. Lol great sounding pedal guys!
And dang!! I forgot to jump on the site early. I was stoked to order one when I heard it was a treble booster because I really want on.
I'm selling my clones for $300 right now let me know if you want one.
I don't know from germanium or whatnot. I just know every guitarist I LOVE had a Rangemaster and I WANT ONE!!! BRING IT BACK, JOSH!!! Please?
I’m really into the mini pedal format. Can/will you make us a mini treble booster with silicone transistors? I think Brian May uses silicone as it’s more temperature stable and still sounds good.
He definitely does not use a silicone transistor.
@@mikedfurman I’m pretty sure he switched from germanium to silicone around the Sheer Heart Attack era
I can build you a custom one for $300.
If you're wanting to get into the treble boost but aren't quite ready to spend the big money, check out the Berch Audio Fenris Ranger on Reverb. It doesn't sound exactly like this one but it's pretty cool for the money.
😂 I spit my drink out like 3 times during the reading of the hate letter, lol
was traveling during the broadcast, so Saw this after it was all done. Probably saved me $249, and just as important inspired me to go back to the garage workshop and start sorting thru the hundreds of Soviet germanium transistors I got from Ukraine before the war started. I have a kit for building a Rangemaster clone and that seems a better option than giving the clown on Reverb $800 for the JHS Germanium Boost that he's flipping 🤣
Clever innovation: what we already liked about Josh Scott - and it appears he may be taking guitar lessons (finally!). I bet his coworkers had one of those ‘interventions’, like ‘we love ya Josh but ya gotta learn to play that thing if you’re gonna force us to play with you LIVE on youtube”. Keep practicing buddy!
Hi Josh, the Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster was the most surprising pedal I ever cloned, I was building it for my guitar player who never loved it enough, I am a play the Bass and It became one of the three pedals I always have in my pedalboard, together with a MOSFET booster (my take of the SHO) and a tube preamp I designed from scratch. I keep all of them on for my clean tone and turn off the Treble booster for my saturated sound. I wish I managed to put my hands ( actually my feet ) on a JHS Germanium boost to try your take on the circuit.
Why don't you make a bass guitar demo?
Ciao!
Ah!! I am just seeing this! So cool!
I would be bummed about these selling out so quickly if I didn't own an Analogman Beano Boost. A good treble booster is not something to be without. They do awesome things paired with your favorite (low wattage especially) tube amp. Easily my favorite way to get drive/distortion.
You should do another run of the Solo Boost.....I wanted one but missed out Good job y'all
Josh said at the end of the solo video they made that he may go ahead and order the parts again to make another batch of them, but in the meantime they’re working on other projects.
@@thegenius203 very cool thanks
There are no more parts I looked everywhere and ordered the last batch I found LOL. Right now the JHS Rangemasters are going for almost $500 on reverb. I'm selling the first few Rangemasters I make for $300. Let me know if you still want one and I'll reserve one for you.
@@cameronstolhand7149 Hey not sure what the Ringmaster is....I have the 66 Boost I might list seeing how this RM clone is selling I just got a Friedman so might not need all the pedals I was using for my Fender style amps which RM's don't work so well with The amp that the 66 really shined on is my Silvertone because they are on the dark side I will check out some Ring Master demo's which I now LoL realize is a RM clone Thanks and Merry Xmas I also have a Diaz clone so who inows
@@paulcowart3174 Sorry, I meant to say Rangemaster Treble Booster LOL. I'll have to edit that. It's the pedal that JHS cloned and sold in this video. The JHS version is called the germanium treble boost I believe.
