Little Red RangerKent Armstrong is the second generation of guitar wizards the Armstrong family has produced, indeed Kent's own son Aaron now famously creates pickups too and Kent's father Dan ran a great guitar repair shop in New York City. With such a lineage itâs unsurprising to learn that their pickups are some of the best in the world and have been used by greats such as Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, Matt Bellamy and even members of the TonePedia team have them in some of their own favourite guitars. Kent himself worked alongside the world famous pickup designer Bill Lawrence before moving to the UK. During the 60âs Kent released a range of guitar effects which plug straight into this guitarâs input and this is one of them! The Red Ranger has a three position switch which allows the user to select between full-range, bass or treble boosts.The "Full" position adds 13db of clean boost across the full frequency range. The "Treble" position produces an additional 12db and the "Bass" position pushes the bass end by a total of 22db without holding back the treble. The "Bass" and "Treble" positions are similar to regular tone controls except that they operate by boosting the desired frequencies rather than cutting out the undesired ones. The Red Ranger also features a low 300 ohm Output Impedance in all three switch positions to eliminate signal loss and hum pick-up in long cables.

Kent himself worked alongside the world famous pickup designer Bill Lawrence before moving to the UK. During the 60âs Kent released a range of guitar effects which plug straight into this guitarâs input and this is one of them!The Yellow Humper was designed specifically with bass guitarists in mind however it sounds great on guitar too! Select a single 7 db peak or hump in the frequency response at 100 Hz to give the instrument a very solid bottom range in position 1. Position 2 provides the same low end peak plus a 10 db peak at 2000 Hz providing overtones and presence. Like the Purple Peaker, the Yellow Humper improves the signal even in the "Off' switch position due to its low 200 Output Impedance.

They are designed to plug directly into the output of a guitar or bass guitar to give the player fingertip control of the sound, but they work just as well plugged into an electric keyboard or the output of any electronic accessory.

Kent Also made a few "pedals" which we not the normal floor bound type pedals but instead they connected directly to the guitars output jack socket.The purple peaker is indeed one such example ,It has a three position switch to select between, one EQ peek, two EQ peaks together, or to bypass the EQ peaks but still gives a line driver type push to your signal. Position 1 provides 12db peaking at 4000 Hz which gives the instrument more "presence" or "bite". Position 2 produces the the same as position 1 plus a 7db peak at 200 Hz which feels like low end punch. The Purple Peaker makes weak-sounding instruments sound fuller, and full-sounding instruments sound super. It has been used by musicians who want to record themselves by plugging directly into a tape machine without going through an amp.
