Rusty Box!

[kbakerde]

I had this made for me. It's 9v and minus the di. It sounds great!

Who made that?

 

[raydee]

I've built this to myself, 9V in, internal charge pump, without DI.

Schenkenstein effects
You can find him on facebook. Super good dude to deal with.

That looks great! Did you use or design your own PCB for it?

Yes, I designed my own PCB.

Nice! Do you have any extras?

Does anyone have graphs showing the EQ points of the RB?

Unfortunately not.

 

[jpTron]

Unfortunately not.

What are the eq points for each control? Wondering if the RB is the same.

Well gang, I think I'm ready to flip this fella - I just can't stand having to deal with the extra power adapter.....GRRR!!!!!

I only use 2-3 pedals per gig. My power solution is a Voodoo Labs ISO-5, that has five isolated power outputs. Three are 9V, one is either 9V or 12V (@300mA), and one is 18V. Covers all my permutations/combinations.

You are probably already aware of the ISO-5, just putting it here given that the 12V applies to the Rusty Box. (Well, I assume it would work with the Rusty Box).

I don't have a Rusty Box, but it's been on my wish list for years. I've been really happy with the Darkglass B7K or Tech21 Oxford for aggressive tonez, but I'm guessing I'd like the RB as well.

I don't know, I just followed the schematic for the Traynor TS-50B preamp section.

Well the rusty uses 30-40V ac, so you'd need the 12V+18V+Voltage doubler+ a cable to flip polarity from negative to positive.

Thanks very much for all the info (and for correcting my bad assumption).

Fuzz + Rusty Box: does it still sound good? I really need to use the fuzz on some sections (not much often but sometimes it's really necessary) and I'm trying to figure out if I can use a R.B. as a pre-amp with a mild gain, or it is a bad idea.

The Rusty loves a decent fuzz, in my experience. I ran a Malekko Diabolik at hi-gain into my mildly set Rusty with great results.

New Rusties are going to be 9 volts! Can't wait to grab one as I've been using it as a pre-amp for years now. It always amazes me how different people's settings are from mine. I have a P-bass with dimarzio model P's and I've never had the treble past 10 o'clock, I always found it to be too harsh beyond this, especially when throwing a distortion into it. It's really one of the most unique pre-amps I've ever heard.

Whaaat where did you hear that?

One of the guys from Tronographic posts on the Electrical Audio Forum(message board for Steve Albini fans). He shared some of the details there.

Nice. I frequent that site as well. Pretty stoked on this news, though I’ll probably just stick with the one I’ve had for all these years. Interested to see the updated enclosure art.

this is great news.
