Are any of those treble boosts, or just full-range?

The Rangemaster clone is a treble boost 9Dallas Rangemaster Treble Boost clone).
The ParaDrive is sorta like a TubeScreamer, so it does boost some treble and the other stage is full range.
The Cheetah Scream is a full range, clean boost.

Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of my little Champ XD, but that fucker toasted again. I think buying it is a post earlier in the thread. So this is twice. At least it has a warranty, but still it's a pain in the ass.

Don't really care. If nothing pops up, I'll probably go with a couple GFS Retrotron Liverpools (I have one in my best sounding rock guitar bar none, great mids, punchy, articulate, cheap!) , but I figured I'd check around.

Some sort of "vintage PAF" style could do it, too. I had the Duncan Slash pickups in there (alnico 5s or whatever they are) and wasn't crazy about them. Now I have one of those in the neck and an Antiquity mini-hum in the bridge, which is okay, but it's time for a refit.

I've got a DiPinto Mach IV in CAR coming this week, can't wait. Wanted one for a while and finally found a used one for the right price. Kind of celebrating getting a real nice review in Classic Rock this month.

Schenker V, whoohoo! That'll rock. Love Schenker.

The DiPinto made it, pickups are awesome in this thing. Plays and sounds killer, shocked.

Hey if you guys can throw a vote down for my band The Heartless Devils I'd really appreciate it.

I'm getting back into my long-delayed Les Paul Studio project guitar.Just ordered up a Tone Pros bridge but it seems that everyone is back-ordered on the Bigsby B7 that I really want on there right now though,so that's gonna hold me up for another while.I figure I may as well get it wired up in the meantime though.I was checking out wiring kits online and came across this one at WD Music.I'm not much of an electronics expert unfortunately,you guys think it'll do the job ok or should I just buy the parts I need separately?Most places around here don't have all the best quality parts in stock at the same time though.

http://www.wdmusic.com/les_paul_wiring_kit_long.html

I'm really itching to get this thing back up and running soon,it's been too long already.This guitar is an awesome player - or was anyways - before I stripped it down and refinished it lol.I've added chrome Grover tuners and a set of Duncan Phat Cats since this pic was taken

Right now, I'm running a GFS tuner, Morley Maverick Wah, Keeley MOdded Boss Overdrive, Zoom G# and my Black Magic Box (sorta like my old Big Red Machine) that had an Optic Compressor, Carl's Custom Univibe, 80's FL9 Flanger and a Boss DD3 in it... any other toys to add?
