It's really fun. If you dig clangy solid state distortion then it's awesome. If you don't, then you might not like it. Feels like more of a specific and niche thing on guitar compared to the Rusty Box being just an all round good bass preamp. I believe the main difference is indeed a tweaked tonestack, and the adjustable boost. It's scratched quite a specific itch for me, but it feels like a bit of a one trick pony.qersty wrote:How is the boxxydizer? I never hear people talk about it but everybody talks about the rusty. Only info I have is that it possibly has a bassman tonestack instead of the traynor thing
It doesn't take many drives that well, too. It's taken me a while to find the right thing to go before it. Some stuff like bassier fuzzes it just seems to chew up and sound weird and muddy. Mini and perc seem to work well. Had success with a Turbo Rat circuit too. I'm yet to find anything that works as well as the boost that's in it to goose it, but I'm using it as one preamp in a bi-amp rig so I can't use that.
