Not a complete build report......I'm not much of a guitar player because i'm no good, but really love pedal making and and making stuff others can use on stage or in recordings. So it took me a while to learn the magic of the rangemaster, I don't have any huge amps or anything, but after a few rounds with a friend, we got around to trying a rangemaster to push his JCM800. I guess this is sorta classic, but so fun to see how something so simple does the trick.

You and me, man, we just think alike :) I'm the same way! It's kinda got that proud-papa feeling, when someone with great chops is hugely impressed with one of YOUR creations and does beautiful, amazing music with it.
Cool!
Post an update when you box it up.
Yep, cool! Those GT402s make great Rangemasters!
i got GT404's. I thought i was buying AC187's on ebay, but got AC185/GT404 equivalent by accident, but they seem to be working. I have not measured any leakage or gain, just setting the bias at 7v and putting in a germanium diodes to combat the temperature thing. i don't have the ears to discern to much tonal variation, so have to rely on back and forth with friends.
alanp - i made a selmer buzztone, current lover, and echobase for a friend, he send a clip of them hooked up and played right, i was so proud. i keep listening to it on headphones. i need to re-take some guitar lessons. haha
