No, I have not yet released the tourbox into the wild. The reason for this is a combination of being busy and having optimization urges with respect to the circuits. I'm forcing myself to suck it up and make it happen in the very near future.

International box will be a different set of the same builds, and I expect for a short while at least there will be two simultaneous boxes on different ends of the earth.

Yes and yes, at this rate of speed the international box is beginning of 2018.

Awesome! I will be ready. Planning a demo video.

I went and checked out your website.. and I can say that I'm very excited to see this box. Your offerings seem pretty unique. What does the "supercharger" do? I'm guessing a boost for more volume, but you never know.

Thanks! I try and stay a particular course with the builds, veering wide of tried and tested circuits. This has benefits and downfalls. I do need to update my website a bit.

Are you referring to the supercharger switch I mention on the Mudlark page? As I recall, that tilted the gain on an early stage up while shifting the bias point of the latter fuzz stage down (it got too sputtery with delicate signals, which the jump in gain remedied), plus I want to say there was a connection to a feedback path that placed it in apeshit territory at extreme control settings... but my memory is foggy on that particular build.

The Mudlark in particular is a design that has not yet reached a satisfactory level of completion.

Very cool. Yeah that's what I was referring to. I definitely like anything that has any features best described with words like "apeshit".. I also really like that you offer versions of pedals. 3 4 or 5 knobs, lots of fun. And while I'm over here fluffing I might as well also say I love the finishes on your boxes. They all look so great. I've been using Sharpie on my clones for labeling, or printed mailing labels .. but the ones I have made that are blank I feel look the best. I'm a fan of your stuff. Hope the box makes it here!

It will, just a matter of time.

I’d like to hop on the bandwagon

Mudlark is a blast. It's a hard one to describe/capture though. Tons of sounds in it though and it responds well to being later in the chain. I think the supercharger in blue mode adds subs to like osc fuzz in a lot of settings.

Sounds like I should earmark a Mudlark for the next one.

You're on. I'll PM you once the box has begun its journey to collect details.

I'm really excited to try the Monobius.. I love me some ring mod. It sounds glorious.

really looking forward to this. I have a feeling I'm going to record a bunch of harsh noise trax with these :evil:

RMA TOURBOX has made it to Thailand and i have been testing it out the past few days. I took notes as i was playing through spending time with them all, and will organise them into a review this week. All of my recording equipment is still in boxes, but i hope that a written review will be okay anyways. Review coming soon....
