The Best Guitar Tone I've Ever Had - R2R Electric - R2Rgemaster
So, what's the best guitar tone I've ever had? Well, it came in the mail the other day. And I didn't even buy it... yet. R2R Electric is operated out of Los Angeles, by instagram's own Chris Vincent, aka@Djlavalamp. He is a maven of NOS parts reclaimed from '50s/'60s electronics, which then get placed into some of the most incredible fuzz and treble booster pedals you can possibly imagine. Recently, he hit a big milestone - 1000 R2Rgemaster Treble Boosters built! My friend Mark (@ filmotone on Instagram) bought number 1000, and he was just the coolest guy in the universe and asked Chris to ship it to me first! So of course, I had been drooling over R2R Electric for days and had never played one, so you know I was down! ...and once I got it I was floored. Like, I couldn't even believe how scrapey yet organic it was... what a big bite / attack it had, and yet the soft, gushy underbelly in the low mids is there when you dig in. It cleans up amazingly like a beautiful vintage fuzz. It turns like a dime with your guitar volume knob and pickup selections.

All of that is going through my @Benson Amps Vincent 2x12" cabinet. The grille is mic'd with Royer R121 and Shure SM57, and the back of the amp is mic'd with a Royer R10. All of that is running into a @Universal Audio Apollo x4 and mixed in @Ableton Live 11. #treblebooster #rangemaster #edgeofbreakup #geardemos #guitarpedals #guitardemos #guitarpedal #pedaldemo #rangemaster #r2rgemaster #r2relectric #germanium #srv #hendrix #bensonamps
