LIke 4-5 dB? Just a little boost over what the amp is doing on its own. I have found it harder to get a sound I like when using it in a chain like a normal overdrive. I tend to be pushing the amp way too much once I find what sounds good. With a tube amp, this sometimes works, but feeding a Solidstate amp, it gets very compressed sounding. I'm thinking of trying it in parallel with my clean tone using a mixer pedal. Seems like It could get pretty nifty like that.what japmn said. compare it to the dry signal. the rusty box is a preamp and has much higher output than your bass/guitar. mine is set somewhere around 8/9 o'clock when plugged into the amp's input.

I just purchased a Boxidizer from FM ||||||||||||| (however you type that) and it is pretty great. Almost what I really wanted out of the Rusty Box as far as voicing. I have a plan where I rack up my Fostex Stereo Spring Reverb, and Art SLA-1 poweramp, and feed one side with guitar through the Boxi, and Organ through the Rusty into the other. I have these little single 12 cabs that went to a Roberts R2R machine (they bolt together like a suitcase!), but the speakers kinda suck. But... I also have 2 ATC 300 watt rated 12 speakers lying around that came out of an EAW mid/hi that I could mount into them. A 3 space rack, 2 pedals, and a little suitcase speaker rig for Organ and Guitar space jam'n! All I need is a tiny drum set and I'm mobile as fuck!I found a pic of the speakers, they are super cool.Anyway Milford, you make 2 pedals that are, on the surface, pretty great overdrive pedals. But they are absurdly useful as DI/Preamps. Keep doing great work. I DARE you to create a Leslie Sim next.

Well, this is my first post, been lurking here for a while. I recently bought a used bixidizer and have found that it is excessively noisey. Like worst single coil ever noisey. I assume something is wrong with the pedal, but want to know if anyone else has experienced this. Aside from the noise the pedal sounds awesome!
