HAO RR-1 Rust Ride Bass Driver

December, 2006

The rugged Rust Ride is exceptionally simple but capable. Its steel case and steel switch and jacks are tough, and the single chicken-head knob is big and easy to see. Tone sculpting is limited to a three-position switch that brings in one of three EQ filters for varying levels of treble-response.


The Rust Ride’s distortion was warm and sweet, nothing like the grating violence of a high-output fuzz tone. The dedicated active and passive jacks, each with its own input impedance, are an excellent detail, as are the dual outputs for dry/wet dual-amp tone. Not versatile at all, but for a tube-like overdrive sound, it’s quite realistic.
