    A tube harmonic trem would be incredible, dialling in just the right amount of saturation to make it sing

    I bought an Oracle (which being based in the UK means a heavy hit of import duties) before any Sushi pedals, and while it's a lovely pedal, and the combo of the Drive knob and the range control are pretty special, I think if I'd have bought the Sushi pedals first I wouldn't have been tempted by...

    While I love the fact that the GS stays clean, I really love what it does with something a little bit gritty in front of it, because of all the "warmth and heft" it has (I know, buzzwords galore) it seems to really take a bit of drive nicely without it sounding like you're using an overdrive...

    Ah I love the linden, such a great pedal, I team it up with either the finally or more as a super compact setup from time to time

    Yeah I was also surprised that it's been a bit quiet on the SBVT front, although the few bits I've heard are pretty amazing. I'm buying a motorbike so once that's done, an SBVT will very likely be on order to add to the sushi selection, although it'll have a hard time against my grand slampegg...

    I don't have experience with the Venus Z, but I have a per my last email and a finally v2, The finally definitely sounds warmer/thicker/fatter than the PMLE set flat, although boosting a little of the lower end changes that, however it's a slightly different flavour of it. This is with the gain...

    I have two starting points I use depending on what I'm going for, either squishy but with lots of clean blend, so comp up ~75% Sens low, attack low and then blend to taste. Or the more subtle setting with the comp at about a third, and then attack at 12ish and sens somewhere over half way...

    The grand slampegg does the clean fat thing brilliantly, that's exactly what I use it for. I don't have an sbvt (yet) so I can't compare, but I've never found the GS to be wanting in the fatness department.

    LO RIDER fan. Will I be happy with Elixirs?

    I'm a fan of the Nickel Lo Riders, and I haven't found anything that's all that close for me, I'd have expected the stainless ones to last a bit longer, but I guess they're starting from a brighter starting point? When I've been playing lots I use naptha on a cloth to clean down the strings...

    Would this soon to arrive item be part of the standard production items or a limited release? Just so I know quite how diligent I need to be with the F5 key...

    Probably not really the intention of the pedal, but how does the JCE do at clean/edge of break up on guitar?

    As an owner of one of the original 20 I wouldn't be mad, I think the more people that try this style of preamp the better. Between that and the Grand slampegg they've been my go to single pedal solution for a little while now

    Single slice compressor might be a slightly left field option, with the compression set pretty low it still gives plenty of warmth and tube feel, plus you've got the option of a bit of extra compression if you want it.

    Arkham Sound Club

    I remember that day, first time plugging it in and thinking "Holy Crap that's amazing" To be fair, I still feel like that most times I switch it on.

    If you're thinking about a troubleshooting eq, I'd recommend looking into the tech21 Q Strip. It's a really versatile tool, with an XLR out, hpf and lpf, two semi parametric mids, it often travels in my gig bag as a backup for a range of situations.
