Can't compete with some of the boards here but here it is anyway. Just in: Dirge Electronics SSStampede with starve and oscillation! The Joy Division pedal in the middle. Gnarly as fuck. Monday I'll have an EQD Hummingbird.
Next on my list: Malekko Diabolik and a replacement for that muff. I'm thinking a TAFM unless someone can recommend another big fuzz that either retains lots of lows or has a clean blend.
Also, I need some advice. I've been feeling a little unsatisfied with my Rusty Box lately. I run it into the input cause my amp has a 10 band eq and I like the control. I tried it in the fx loop but there was no real change in the sound. I may not be using it to its full extent. If anyone uses one, do you keep it at unity with the amp? Do you crank the rusty and then control the volume with the amp? I need to reevaluate my sound. My guitarist hated the clankiness but he quit on me so I'm going to mess with my sound a bit.

Looking good duder!
I had a Rusty Box for a while as well. I only got rid of it because I got an actual Traynor TS200, but that too is gone... Anyways, I always kept the Rusty SLIGHTLY above unity. I cranked the boost though, if I can remember correctly. I think the only thing I didn't like about it was at certain settings it seemed to have a blanket over top of it. Like you could crank the treble but it still sounded like it could possibly go further, a little bit of high end loss. But I mean, it is a bass effect, so, I dunno

I actually feel like it loses some low end, but I can dial it back in with my eq. when I play with a full band, though, it cuts through like crazy, so I can deal with it. It may just be me, though. My house still shakes when I play, so its obviously still low. Last night I cranked the gain and turned up the treble a bit, and got a great base tone to stack my dirt into. Sounds great with that Mini pushing it too. I would be happy using that combo 90% of the time and kicking the others on for extra crushing power.
Chain is Whammy>Rouge Overdrive>Rose Ssstampede ( )>Digitech two second delay>Boss Pitch shifter>into the looper to loop #1, which is my hyperion clone into a big muff pi, then loop #2 which is my Ibanez modulation Delay (Lovingly nicknamed the Pappy Slapper) into an Akai Headrush, Looper is set to run the fuzz into delay. Then its out of the looper into an Ibanez Wheeping Demon Wah and out to my amp.
This will probably be the last pic of it like this before I get Behndy's PT mini and downsize to shit. I'll still have the suitcase to use for Storage and Better Learning Through Fuzz videos, as well as if I need a small board for shits and giggles.

Someone on TGP was saying it must be 100+ lbs. - just weighed it and it came in at 56 lbs. exactly lol... but that's fully loaded. The board itself is pretty light.
