Fulltone CS Ranger is an expertly build pedal from the Fulltone Custom Shop. It is based on a vintage Dallas Rangmaster Treble Booster.
The Dallas Rangemaster was a germanium transistor-powered guitar effect made in the mid-60s which was relied upon heavily by Brian May, Tony Iommi, Rory Gallagher, and many others to achieve their signature sounds. It was marketed as a ‘treble booster’, when it actually boosted the midrange and treble frequencies, at the same time imparting an incredible harmonically-laden distortion while also driving the tube amplifier to distort more.
This Ranger allows you to drive hard and eliminate the muddy midrange so often found in overdrive sounds. The pedal has a rotary mode switch with which you can switch between various frequency modes that the ranger offers. You can choose full range, lo-mids, mids, rangemaster 1, rangemaster 2 and highest. This ranger contains a NOS military germanium transistor that was tested for noise, leakage, and tonal qualities. The pedal is 100% hand-built in California, USA.

Fulltone’s product lineup includes popular models like the Full-Drive series, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Drive), and other overdrive, distortion, and modulation pedals.
No-compromise approach
The company’s pedals are renowned for their durability, sonic clarity, and meticulous craftsmanship, drawing praise from musicians who seek vintage-inspired, high-performance gear. Fulltone also emphasizes the use of premium components and a “no-compromise” approach to design, which helped solidify its position in the competitive pedal market.
In 2022, the company announced it would cease manufacturing, marking an end to its run as a prominent name in the guitar effects world. Despite this, Fulltone’s pedals remain highly sought-after, especially in the used market. Together with Jackson Audio, production has now resumed and the effects are available again
