From the post
Based on the preamp of Traynor TS50B, Rusty Box is a big sounding circuit, perfect for bass and baritone guitars. The layout runs on 18v and has an onboard voltage inverter and voltage regulators for 15v/-15v operation. But it might work well on 9v as well but it will probably have more gain (...and less headroom) and some bias tweaking might be necessary.
