Rusty Box!

[cataract]

In the end, it didn't work out between us

It doesn't fit my riffs at all, sadly. Stupid me, I should have known.
Anyways I'm glad I had it in my hands for a few days, I didn't want to die without having tried this legendary pedal at least once

Sorry to hear it. If you’re not in a super rush to sell hit me up and I’ll buy it from you— just waiting for a pedal to sell !

I'm not in a rush but I live in Italy! You'd better buy from Tronographic, and I'd better sell in EU!
You know, with taxes + shipping it was like 50% more

I found the RustyBox to sound harsh solo’d but it really shines in the mix IMO.

I was a tube amp guy and the RB is opposite of all that they stand for bit in a good way.

maybe this contributed too to the fact we didn't like it much on our songs... we are a duo, bass and drums only

Yeah. If it’s not the sound you are after solo’d then you can’t hide it in a mix!

Looks like i need to buy another one of these, they are available in a 9 volt version now.

I’d snag one if I didn’t already own the OG. The best pedal I’ve ever owned. Cool to see they’ve made it slightly more “easy” to use.

Bought one of the new versions and I am super pleased with it.

rather than buying the new 9V veirson, i modded my original one to use a 9V power supply by installing a charge pump in it, however i also needed to install a power isolator for the charge pump circuit, otherwise it wouldn't work at all if it was daisy chained on a single power supply.

Truth be told I’m probably going to hit you up to mod mine- that is, if you’re still doing that. Getting tired of the wall wart!

Just learned of the Rusty Box and I'm curious how it compares to the DG Alpha/Omega? I currently have the Alpha/Omega but the Rusty Box has me thinking. If they're not all that different, I won't bother, but I feel like I should try it out.

They are quite different in my opinion- the Rusty Box is naturally tighter and brighter sounding, with a built-in scoop in the middle-mids (lots of nice upper mid though). The Rusty also has tons of headroom and cleans up much more smoothly at low Gain (my AO never really cleans up even with the Gain at minimum). I’d love to try the two of them together (I ditched my Rusty years back because of the power supply).

Thanks for the info. Does it not work with a regular 9V pedal power supply?

The old version did not but the new version does use a standard 9V.

The Rusty Box has a raucous top-end grind. Whereas the Alpha-Omega has more of a midrange growl/grunt.
If I wasn't so in love with my Oxford(modded for more top-end) for having both, I would have definitely paired those two up together.

They came with a 24V adaptor when I had mine. I am tempted to grab one of the newer 9V versions to try again, but pretty happy with my current setup

Had a chance to compare my JohnK 9v modded Rusty to the latest iteration v2 Rusty & they are practically indistinguishable.
It’s been a real treat not having to mess with that wall wart.

 

[Master Chief]

The V1 looks way cooler too!

AGREED

Just had a deja-vu, I feel like we've had that exact same conversation before

Still use my Rusty Box all the time, though since recording with it this summer I've switched to using it with the boost engaged all the time. Love the extra highs it introduces!
