I love the sound clips of the rusty box but want to know more about its D.I. like quality and if it has pre/post and a ground lift?
And can it power a power amp?

2 - wait for behndy to find this thread...he uses his as a preamp for his gigging rig
3 - mine does not have either a pre/post or a ground lift switch that I'm aware of; the line-out is a 1/4 jack.

The line out is unbalanced and before the master volume, the same as the line out on the TS50B.
No ground lift.

so, it KINDA has a DI out. the balanced out is the same as what you're going to get with a DI out, just a quarter inch input instead of an XLR. so with a simple 1/4 -> XLR adapter you have a DI.
the Rusty Box KILLS. i use mine with the main to my power amp into my Aggy rig, i've mic'd that and gone direct with the 1/4 -> XLR adapter. all work very well.
hope that helps.

| | yiffffffTASTIC | | Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: California | | close. if you want an adapter you'd want like this.... Amazon.com: XLR Male To 1/4" Male Adapter: Electronics
or if you wanted a cable this.... Live Wire 1/4" Male to XLR Male Patch Cable and more Audio / RCA Cables at GuitarCenter.com.
but easiest way is a male to male. the 1/4 male would go into the balanced out and the 1/4 male would be there to plug into a DI snake or cable going to the board. i always have to look up and stare at the pics 'cause it SEEMS like it should be female on one end.
i prefer the 5 inch (or a little bigger) cable, it makes it harder to lose. i went through 3 of the adapters and just spaced them in the hecticness of load out. haven't lost any since i got the cable though.
hope that helps! |
