Description
Based on the DALLAS RANGEMASTER treble booster, as used by Clapton in the Bluesbreakers, Rory Gallagher, Brian May and Tony Iommi. This booster adds treble and gain, and Cesar added a HI/MID/LO switch to choose an EQ setting which the original pedal did not have.
Elliot Easton, Guitarist from The Cars wrote :
This is a sort of 3 position boost (Hi,Mid,Low) with a VERY interactive gain control.On the "HI" setting, I found that a Rickenbacker 12-string with lots of compression gets that perfect Vox treble boost sound that McGuinn employed on the Byrds stuff. The "Low" setting really adds girth to a Srat for a very big ,"Hendrixy" effect.Those looking for that type of flexibility in a pedal should just go buy it.Today.Everything seems to benefit from being run through it. A wonderful addition to your signal chain-whatever you play!

The hybrid transistor setup, with a Germanium Q1 and Silicon Q2, offers a blend of temperature stability and a sizzle when cranked, unlike pure Germanium or Silicon models.

Build quality

Owners note that while point-to-point builds may look fragile, the connections hold well, reducing concerns about wires grounding against the enclosure.

At 2:43 of this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar, Brian Farmer, Warren's guitar tech says"At the top there is, there's a Texas Ranger up top. He likes to run the Firebirds, this'll boost the Firebirds up, so they're running about the same level, or a little bit more than a Les Paul."
In this Facebook post Philip posted a picture of his pedalboard with the Cesar Diaz Texas Ranger pedal.

Mentioned in this January 14, 2009 Premier Guitar interview.
When you’re playing through such a simplified rig, do you have many pedals in front of you, or do you just run straight into the amp?
Well, I used to use a Cesar Diaz Texas Ranger pedal, which Cesar personally gave to me, and it was actually a great pedal with my other rig. But now with my new rig, the tones have changed and it doesn’t work as well, so I’m using the Xotic BB Plus as my main distortion right now… mostly for low-volume situations. I’ve also got a CE-5 Chorus that I use for a Leslie sound—turn the Rate and Effect all the way up, and turn back the Depth so it’s not detuning. I also use a BOSS DD-3. I used to use Echoplexes, and I still have three of them, but they’re temperamental when you get them out on the road. So I just learned to use the DD-3.

Based on the Texas Ranger, even labeling the frequency dial as "Hi Mid Lo".
And this is why we actually used this as the reference for the Texan Twang, which Pedal Pawn released not so long ago... Yeah, you know, it's a complete homage to Cesar Diaz and just, you know, trying to continue that legacy in a small way.
