Ease of Use
:

Very easy! Three Knobs (LO, MID, HI) and an On/Off True Bypass switch, that??s all! Input-, Output- and 9V DC-jacks on the side.
All in an Hammond BB size Aluminium enclosure.

Most Dallas Rangemaster Clones (Keeley Java Boost and the AnalogMan Beano Boost) allow you to switch between treble boost, mid boost and fullrange boost - the Moollon does ALL THREE modes at the same time!
It has three independant "treble" boosters, each tuned for it??s specific frequency range: LO is a fat fullrange boost, MID is a dream for every passive pickup signal and HI is the original treble boost. The kick is that all boost-sounds can be mixed for your personal signature sound! This pedal is made for classic rock guitars with passive pickups, and classic amps. Very sensitive to the Guitar volume, and gives you always a super sweet crunch tone when driven hard. At every setting it??s super quiet! NO noise from the pedal. For me it??s the perfect booster.
Especially the Treble boost sounds amazingly balanced and never harsh, although ALL three boosters work with BC108 Transistors, and not with the historical correct OC44 (the result is so good, that I don??t care...).
Reliability

As all pro pedals: solid die cast enclosure, alpha pots with metal shaft, switchcraft jacks and a heavy duty switch. It will last for decades and generations!
BUT: THIS IS A PIECE OF ART! The Aluminium case is polished and has a v-e-r-y nice engravement on the top - no stickers, foils or ceap painting! This looks so fine and noble that I would never step on it with dirty shoes, or even put velcro on the bottom!

POINT TO POINT WIRING on a turret board, like in an amp!!
Sound, appearance and workmaship are in a class of it??s own.

I just wrote them one Email and got a friendly answer a few hours later. I guess these guys work very professional and take everything serious because they have a Custom Shop for their Pedals, Guitars and Pickups.
Overall Rating

When you like Treble Boosters, when you play a Strat, or Les Paul or SG, when you play a vintage style Amp, and when you??re looking for a High End (boutique) device: BUY THIS THING!!
This will blow your existing Rangemaster Clone and fullrange boost off your pedalboard.
