Many guitarists of the late 60s and early 70s knew how to get a rough earthy and unmistakable sound out of their humbucking pickups and tube amplifiers, which in retrospect has not been possible to recreate so far. Representative guitarists’ names are Luther Grosvenor, Henry McCullough, Steve Marriot or the incomparable Ron Wood. Now BSM has dedicated a special Booster to this sound, so as to receive this historical sound with every tube amp, that offers a powerful clean or crunch character.

The BSM RM is based on the british Range Master unit produced between 1965 and 1969, as used by Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Eric also used the booster when playing in the legendary group Cream. Its biting, powerful sound is clearly in evidence on the Bluesbreakers "Beano" album. Blues rocker Rory Gallagher, Glam rocker Mark Bolan, Heavy Rock pioneer Tony Iommi and Brian May from Queen were also heavy users of the original Range Master unit.

Manufactured in the framework of the „Twangtone by BSM“-line, the Powderfinger steps up to enable you to get that often acclaimed but seldom achieved guitar sound of Neil Young. Fully appreciating that the setup that Neil Young has put together for himself over the years may be unpractical and/or impossible to realize for most other guitar players, BSM has developed a pedal that puts every guitarist in the position to approach that Neil-Young-sound without having to call on a permanently fully cranked Fender Tweed Deluxe Amp. This approach is facilitated via the following components being included in one‘s setup:

The BSM RG Rory Gallagher tribute model is basically a BSM HS-Custom, modified to nail Rory Gallaghers signature tone, known from his famous recordings like "Big Guns" or "Lonesome Highway". Compared to the HS-Custom, the RG Rory Gallagher tribute model offers more gain for a more punchy sound with a good crunch. The RG Rory Gallagher tribute model, includes the same volume control, like Blackmore's modification on his treble booster. When dialed about halfway, you will achieve Gallaghers sound from his early records like "Deuce", "Live in Europe" and "Against The Grain". If you use a guitar with PAF style humbuckers, reduce the guitar's volume from 10 to 7 and set the PRA's volume to 50% to get this earthy, rough early/mid 70's R&B sound from the "Faces" (Ron Wood on guitar and Rod Stewart's vocals).

The BSM "Galaxy 1011" is a faithful recreation of the whole AIWA TP-1011 tape recorder sound stage, Ritchie Blackmore used from late 1973 until today. This 18Volt unit “Galaxy 1011” contains the AIWA´s mic-preamp, the line output amp, the Marshall Factory mod and it holds a status LED. It is mainly intended for the users of a Marshall Major or clones of this. These are very special amps. With their special circuit design, they are very clean sounding amps and cannot be compared to a normal Marshall Super Lead or similar (pentode design with EL34 power tubes), that sound a bit dirty on their own. So for the real freaks the search for an unaffordable original AIWA TP-1011 could be well over.
