meerkat electronics traynor TS-50B based, bass preamp pedal. 2025 - black

This is a bass preamp based on the tranor TS-50B, also known in pedal form as rusty box.

i've first build that pedal at least 10 years ago for a friend.

After that, more and more bassist asked for one.

So i've designed a high quality pcb, in the smalest footprint possible.

It's smt, hand soldered, and made to last.

The effect is in a 1590b enclosure, it's relay true bypass and it's loaded with the best parts available.

operates only with 9Volts! anything else will fry the internal parts

the graphics were made via gel plate technic so not the best results... after all i'm a diyer! it's not perfelty printed, but you can clearly see what you get in the pictures. sometimes it comes out perfect, sometimes not :)

available for now, is just the black one. the aluminium one is sold.

if there is anything more i can help you with feel free to send me a message
