Played the Beano boost today, loved it, bought it. Do I love it more than the Naga Viper boost? hmmmm ... good question!

Re: New pedal day: Analogman Beano boost
Congrats! I've become an Analogman convert since I got my Sunface. I just got on the king of tone waitlist, and I'd really like to get his Sun King. It's a King of Tone with a Beano Boost in front.Custom neck-thru strat

Have fun!

Re: New pedal day: Analogman Beano boost
I'm also a lover of Analogman pedals. I've got the Beano Boost, as well as the Analogman modded Boss OD w/the Frog mod. I got this when I went on the King of Tone wait list last September (I'm still on the waiting list). I also have an old Analogman modded Arbiter Fuzz Face, from back when he used to get them and mod them w/germanium transistors (before 04/02).
AgileGuy, I don't think Analogman is making the Sunking anymore, unless he has started it up again. I wanted one of them as well. It is actually a Sunface Fuzz and Beano Boost in one unit.Farhad aka Strat111

Woke up this morning, sticky, broke, & confused.

Oh, my error. I'll have to go and check out the SunKing. Thanx for clarifying my thinking.Farhad aka Strat111

Re: New pedal day: Analogman Beano boost
I've always been curious about the Beano Boost but never tried one. Having built several treble boosters myself, including a Rangemaster clone, I've always wondered what changes he made to the circuit, if any at all.

Old Beanos used a NOS, white dot NKT275, later ones use a NOS CV7003 and mixed in over the years have been a few NOS Ge 2NXXX (mostly 404's).
The Beano is even wired point to point like a real Rangemaster.
The magic that Mike brings to the Rangemaster party is the time he puts into nailing down trannys that are sweet sounding and keeping the noise low.
Ben, I'm SUPER glad you dig the Beano...it truly is a great pedal and ended my search for a RM clone.
Too many RM clones or Treble boosters are harsh, hard sounding noise traps with more hiss than gain...not the Beano!If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

The mid and bass settings on the 3 way toggle are changes, the option for DC power is a change and the LED is a change but past that it's the same as a real Rangemaster save for the transistor used.

I also would like to add that the wiring inside is a work of ART. Smallest solder points I've ever seen. Beyond MilSpec neatness. Just amazing!Why don't you take your little Cobra Kais and get outta here?!

Re: New pedal day: Analogman Beano boost
The toggle switches caps...one is the stock value the other give more lows than stock.
As for the tranny, in a RM clone it is really about finding one that is good and gainy w/o being harsh and noisy.
The CV7003s that Mike uses is a UK part, not all of them are the same but there are several out there.
As for the wiring, the Beano is not on a board...it's true point to point...lots of work involved but makes them neat little works of art but plenty of cats do use a board.
Also worth bringing up in this thread starting in 2012 Mike started using Orange Drop caps...he thinks they sound closer to the old caps in his original Dallas RM than the smaller caps he was using.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

I love that Mike went to the trouble to do the PTP...original RM's are PTP so not only is it a nice little nod to the past but Mike thinks they quieter too.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.
