Tronographic Rusty Box Soundclips

Haha I was thinking the same thing about myself... Looks like I'll have to though.
I'm on board with being confused. Always "listening in" when it comes to the Rusty Box....
They mentioned a capacitor and 2 resistors and suggested that messing with the value of one of the resistors and possibly removing the capacitor could adjust the amount of gain from the boost function. This is what makes me believe that the Boost is just another amplification stage before the clipping circuit, and what we would want to adjust is not the gain addition of the boost but the volume addition that occurs as a result of the added gain.
gotcha. i'm for DEFO not removing and/or replacing caps. my soldering skeelz are minuscule at best.
yerpah. build cables? sure, i can handle that. anything else, i talk to a professional.
hurm. FX Doctor's going to look at rehousing an Aggy Octo for me, i might ask them about doing this when i get a second RB. good IDEA fiveStringedTreeBeast!

OOOooo... just got an email from Tronographic:
"We will contact you when we begin to take orders. This should be around August 12th."
Not bad.

I haven't played one yet, so I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about the RB. I'm pretty sure I'll like it, but will I like it enough to justify keeping it with the other seven or eight overdrives I already have? To use a Behndyism.... "Hurrmmmm."

are you saying, it has BALLS suh? you almost made my monocle slip RIGHT off my face. uncouth HOOLIGAN. harumph. HARUMPH i say.
also, yesh. i think you could actually swap an RB for a testicle and be, if anything, MORE effective in the sack.
"Cold Metal LOVAHHHhhhhhhh!!"

hurm INDEED good suh!
y'know, i can't speak to it's OD capabilities. Erukus is the champion of that facet of Ole Rusty. but the ANGRIEST yet fullest preamp i've ever used. so much WIN in thar.
we did a gig the other day where the other two bands borrowed my rig and i got to hear cats actually playing bass with guitarists and drummers and whatnot on the Rusty coming out 4 Aggie 12's. ****ing made my socks wet. just BADASS.
is badass a good word? 'cause if using it is wrong, i don't wanna be right. hey now.

Must. Be. Strong. August 12th. Worse case of GAS ever has me doubled over in anticipation.
I want my Rusty Box!
That is all.

I've spent the past few hours fiddling with my new bass / eq / rusty box settings..
I'm really beginning to favor the Box more as an effect pedal than a preamp.
Maybe it's because I'm playing at less than rock show volumes..
Still can't seem to use it as a preamp at a low volume setting.

hurm. mine shine's at low and loud. i got stuck on a POS Laney 4x10 &15 last night woth a Laney head for the backline. sounded poo with every other band, KILLED woth a Rusty into it.
Ran my Rusty into my Tecamp Puma1000/LDS-built nEarful rig yesterday on an 80's hair metal gig. Neck pickup (Darkstar) solo'd, fresh rounds, heavy pick... Absolutely killed through the festival's PA.
Momentary derail: I've been curious about building a fEarful cab for a while now, which one are you running? They seem to get lots of positive vibes over in the fEarful threads. Don't hear much about them otherwise though.
The ACTUAL thought I've had the last couple days... Do I really NEED a Rusty? *gasp!
I generally don't run much for effects/preamps. I've downsized my board to a Pedaltrain Mini, and besides the tuner I really only have a changing variety of envelopes and overdrives on there. I already have a couple DI's if I need it too.
To you guys that have them (and since others may be curious as well), what makes the Rusty something I should try? How does it compare to something like a BDDI? I have the Sansamp so I do know it colors your sound quite a bit, but what are the major differences besides the controls?
Thanks in advance for the infos! I'm not taking my name off the RB list just yet, just weighing the Rusty against other gear I want at the moment.
