Announcement from Sushibox - The Watt

[shirojiro]

I saw an announcement from Sushibox on Instagram and I thought I would share. It looks like they're going to be putting a pedal made for Mike Watt into production.

"I've had a handful of messages already asking about this, so I guess I can come right out and talk about it.

Mike Watt has been using a couple of my pedals for a while now, and earlier this year he asked if it would be possible to smash everything together into one box for a convenient all-in-one box for gigging and touring. After considerable back-and -forth and several prototypes, The Watt was born.

The Watt essentially combines the Single Slice compressor with the Finally v3 preamp/D.I., giving you a tube preamp, variable HPF, and compressor, all in a conveniently sized package.

Currently there are only two of these in existence, one for Mike and one for me, but I have parts on order to build more. I wasn't planning on even announcing this yet, but part of Mike's testing of the pedal meant using it at a gig, and I guess the word got out. I expect to have these ready to go by the end of September 2025."

I have a Wattplower that Mike Watt autographed. I’d love to get an autograph on one of these pedals too.

Sold! Th

Very similar experience here. Env Fil in front of the single slice. I also have a preamp that I don’t always use in front of comp. That’s because I got the feedback I wanted to the input I gave both the pre and the comp when placed in that order.

I did the single slice comp because of my conversation with Watt about comp - which was insightful and awesome. I wasn’t happy with the OE Cali compact bass. But the single slice was just subtle enough to do what I want.

Looking forward to the Watt, I’ll play around with sequence, and will maintain the ability to insert 2 comp circuits is that’s what is needed. I’m surprised at my excitement to this Watt. Good way to wind down the day!!

Are you using the single slice as a limiter?

No. I don’t think I know how to set it up as a limiter…

Surfacing…I see the Watt on the Sushi website but it says out of stock. Do any of yall know if it WAS stocked and they sold out?? Or, hopefully, it isn’t sold out, just prepping the site to take orders prior to the batch being done?

For anyone who has this, have you gotten around to experiment stacking it with a second compressor?
