It's funny how Rangemasters have been overlooked when they were such an integral part of so many fundamental classic sounds. Hardly anyone knows about them, meanwhile there are 897^67 Tube Screamer clones.
@@JohanSegeborn I never explored them when I was younger because I thought "TREBLE booster? I don't need more treble!"... Being Gen-X I missed the prior days of boosting the front end of amps being a more common thing, but in reality it's functionally a big part of the classic rock era.
@@TheChipMcDonald The other cool thing about a great TB is you can set your amp slightly darker and have a fat af rhythm tone that sits great in a band mix and just hit the 'pop' pedal when you need to jump forward in the mix.
How do you figure nobody knows about them? Anyone who loves sabbath knows what it is... I think people just found other ways to get what they were after, and tube screamers are cheap and literally everywhere.
@@taegag6179 1) Not everyone loves Sabbath. 2) of the people that do, how many know what a Rangemaster is? 3) what is the ratio of TS clones to Rangemasters? 4) how many people get to play their amps dimed on stage in 2019, AND with a treble booster in front? Versus how many now may not even have an amp on stage? But I've only been playing and teaching guitar for 35 years, so what do I know?
Tony iommi had a modified Dallas Rangemaster which had more of a frequency boost and he used P90s and the Laney amp he would run clean with his Settings being Presence, Treble and mids on max his bass on 0 and the volume on 10
Almost. He set the bass at 0 and rolled the knob up with the amp craked at sound check to "dial it in to the venue", but imho he was avoiding fart from the low wattage speakers he was using. As far as "clean" the Supergroup is nothing more than a less reliablle Plexi with different output transformers. I had a YBA1, as in, has a bass appropriate tranny in it. It's still a plexi. Cranked to the high heavens it's only ACDC levels off gain, and Iommi knew about volume knobs on his guitar, I reckon.
I keep my bass on 0 for the early albums, sounds really good. Some people add bass to get the "doom" riff sound heard in his later albums but as a soloist it doesn't sound too good playing those jazzy leads.
Finally someone who got it right. I get so sick of these "sound like Iommi" vids that over-complicate his rig and tone. They end up sounding nothing like him.
But then again the playing is nothing like his either so.... not really a fair comparison. The tone is absolutely amazing nonetheless That amp sounds fucking amazing!!!
@@monosound81 there’s a billion things at play. Yeah mics/console/tape/how it’s mixed. Also Tony’s fingers bc of the accident probably make a specific sound, there’s so much in the hands. Also I’ve heard he uses really light strings but back then who knows. I doubt any of them actually remember some of the details.
Nice! For the Plexi users: Guitar -> Treble Booster -> Normal Channel. Works with humbuckers and single coil. Another good old amp to try is the Randall RG100ES. I have the original one from '87. It's an awesome transistor amp.
@@filippogalli3477 Not in my video. I wanted to do something different. There's already a tons of metal/pantera videos of this head. However, I'm uploading a new video if you're interested. RG100ES in the mix. Extreme - rest in peace guitar cover. Sound huge! czcams.com/video/77O6ItDL65A/video.html
Really dig this video. Classic tones. Love the Sabbath style riffs. That old amp sounded great if not a bit treblely (if that's a word). Thanks for great videos always!
Fantastic video as always Johan. What about considering some Ron Wood Faces era tone in your next videos? I think his sound and playing were absolutely beautiful
Listened to Symptom of the universe straight after and it's bang on man! (bearing in mind the variables of how the original was captured etc) Amazing. Love it.
I actually built myself a Rangemaster pedal, using an AC128 PNP Germanium transistor I bought on eBay, and some parts I bought from my local Jaycar Electronics shop, for a very simple circuit I'm very surprised at how effective it is, all the parts in my Rangemaster are mounted on an 8-way tagstrip, old school style, sounds great when used with an amp that's already distorting, total cost to build it was less than Au$100.00, and yes, I'm a big Black Sabbath fan too.
Your best video yet. Premium guitar tones - particularly those front(neck) pickup chords in the final minutes. Magic. And yes, I loved the video effects...
Great video Johan. I remember reading somewhere that Iommi ran the treble on his guitar half way and let the Rangemaster do all the work. You def nailed the tone, cheers!
Great video! Thanks for putting in all the effort to do this. Nice to see Simon again too., I love his playing. I cant comment on Iommi sound but this sounds great to me, and at 8:24 I think you really found something, great to see!
Man, I love this sound Johan! You can hear that the guitar/amp is always right on the brink of feedback! That is awesome and a huge part of getting the proper sound - you need that volume and not just a dimed distortion pedal. For me, Tony Iommi is one of the most important guitarists ever for rock/heavy music. He's in my top 5 of all time no doubt. Thanks for this video, it was thoroughly enjoyable. Rock on!
What I find surprising is the presence or high end in this recording, when in my experience the Supergroup is darker. Would that be because of the humbuckers, the amp input or the unmodded treble booster? Typical Iommi amp settings were everything on 10 on the bass input, with bass at zero. Treble booster would be at 10.
When these tones are multi-tracked, we can get close to the holy grail tones. The recording equipment of the era also plays a part. I really enjoyed the 'clean tones' because that's how I roll ( - :
Pretty good tones. One element of Iommi's sound in the albums after Paranoid was that he tuned his guitars down 1 1/2 steps from standard (i.e. tuned from E to C#). In the clip it looks like you and Simon are using an SG tuned down 1/2 step. Wonder if you tuned down further if you'd get closer?
@@nitemareman1 It's 1 1/2 steps down but the studio recordings are pitched slightly up for some reason, so it ends up halfway between C# and D standard.
Sounds like a bit of Aussie riffage at 10.05 ;) Where the hell did you find an original Laney Supergroup Johan? You know they re-issued them a few years back, but I don't know if I could do the $5000 price tag!
The neck pickup in the 64 sg special was replaced with a John Birch simplex p90 and the bridge pickup was a John Birch rewind of the stock gibson p90 . They were much fatter than a typical p90 so it makes sense that a humbucker would sound closer than a regular p90 .
Cool video, i prefer the sound without the Rangemaster.... Interesting would be a comparison between the Laney and a 100W Plexi, but thru the same cab (so Marshall thru Laney cab and vice versa)
C # my friend ! I am closer with my rig Sunn 1969 200s powered thru 1960b cab with big muff and SG jr.. but it did sound very good ... thankyou!! And merry christmas !!!
Sabbath nerd here: The John Birch pickup in the Monkey SG is almost inconsequential, the neck was changed to a Hyperflux that he barely used for some leads, and John covered the stock Gibson P90 to reduce noise in the bridge, which is what you'll hear 95+ of the time. The later humbuckers in the JayDee SGs are V E R Y hot high output pickups, very akin to his Gibson signature pickups. These are for Reunion tones, not the originals. IMHO the big difference between a p90 and a PAF here is probably negligible, but figured I'd mention it just for future tone autistes.
Awesome sound and playing! A curiosity, How do you hold the guitar pick? Pad of the thumb and pad of the index finger rather than pad of the thumb and side of index? Thanks!
Thanks! Simon and I use different techniques. My style is basically like George Benson, and Simon uses a more conventional pick angle. I hold the pick with two fingers and he uses the entire hand to get his precision percussive tone.
Not sure if its super close to Iommi but sounds awesome, whats cool is it sounds loud, somehow you can hear its a really loud cranked amp, something with how the high end breaksup.
Maybe next time ...8/9 gauge strings, lower tunings C,D and of course the Plastic thimbles for the dead chords and slight ring on the high strings.But John you make every thing sound good!
Hi, I need an answer to cure my curiosity. Just saw some footage of Black Sabbath live at California Jam 1974, and I noticed the backline of Laney amps. Now, I assume those are Made in the UK amps and they work on british power supply ( like 240 volts, 50 Hz right?). What they used in the early days to make british amps work on 110 volt Usa grid? External transformers or such? Many thanks!
Interesting for me to notice, that we can have the exact gear Iommi used for all those classic Sabbath records... but 90% of his sound came from his personality, then fed thru hands.
I have a range 2 remake. This effect prduces more mids. The Laney produces in combination with the rangemaster cool sounds. Cool Video, Johan play two guitar necks, have two heads and four legs.:-)
This time I must say I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't go all the way and chopped your fingertips off to get that exact Iommi sound. Great playing and great sound as always.
BTW this particular amp is stamped with "ARGENT"... who I'm pretty sure used Laney amps in the early 70s! Songs like 'Hold your head up' and 'God gave Rock n Roll to you' !
I heard you work for Volvo 😃! I love Volvo, and own a 1998 V70 T5! It's a collectable car for me, not my only car. Can you tell me any interesting inside information about it? Love the channel too!
I wanna know what exactly the guitar tech who modded Tony’s rangemaster did to give it that nasty lava like guitar tone off of Master, something I’ve never heard replicated completely
Rangemasters modern equivalent would be the 33,TubeScreamer and the infamous HM2 and MetalZone. They just add something magic to the tone even when just used to boost.
Only the neck pickup was a john birch, the bridge was a gibson p90 that had a metal cover put on it and they were both potted with epoxy instead of wax.
Oh yeah and kudos to both of you for your playing very Sabbath-esque riffs that had the right character and feel but (hopefully) don't trigger the stupid copyright claims.

Tony Iommi - Master of Doom !!!
🌟
Love it... He is the Master of Doooommmm!
I read somewhere once that Iommi did something really weird with his EQ on the amp. I think it was bass on zero, middle and treble on 10.
I keep my bass on 0 for the early albums, sounds really good. Some people add bass to get the "doom" riff sound heard in his later albums but as a soloist it doesn't sound too good playing those jazzy leads.

Great tones Johan. That Rangemaster is where the magic happens here .... it really brings the Laney to life and fattens up the sound from the cab.
Thanks Chris, glad to hear it!
Nothing like Iommi's tone, sorry guys. The tribute is admirable though.
Don t forget the sound of mics,console and tape chain...😉

@@terrybartak7811 my thoughts exactly
Most of the clean tones from this vid are beautiful, ear candy
Not me either! It sounds tinny. It doesn’t sound like Iommi. Just like a guitar straight in to amp with treble boost. 🤔✌️
The guitar is wrong and for some reason all of his videos have more or less the same sound. Might be the recording gear.
@@becauseiwasinverted5222 also he aint playing any iommi licks, nor does his style and riffs come anywhere close so you can compare..

He used the early p90s before he had his sg customized by John birch himself you can even see a photo of a charlie Christian pickup on it in a gig.
