Dan Armstrong Red Ranger
Dan Armstrong Red Ranger
Kent 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 it’s 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 60’s Kent released a range of guitar effects which plug straight into this guitar’s 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.
