I built myself a small lightweight jam/rehearsal cab some years ago. Used to have a Mark Bass Nano on the back, but now I got this little bass amp from GSS in France and put my More on a piece of Velcro on top of it.
Sounds pretty awesome in a small setting with fretless or fretted bass!
(I've got the Nobelium on my pedalboard for gigs, and a larger active GR Bass cab for that kind of work)
Super easy and no sweat bringing this "rig" and a bass around the neighborhood.

Ah awesome, I use a GSS Twin Sumo as my main amp now (600 watts per side stereo amp) it works great with everything from my full pedalboard through to just grabbing my finally and using one pedal, amp and cab
I just logged onto my Sushi Box email for the first time in 10 days or so and I have 154 unread emails. I guess I know what I'm doing over lunch today.
150 are just me asking about the SBVTII.
Nice stuff from GSS. I had a Baby Sumo when they first appeared back in 2017(?). Then I had a fling with tube amps, but now I've discovered SB and active cabs.
Less sweat lugging my gear around now.

If our band ever went to an ampless stage, I could totally gig with a Finally and an active FRFR monitor on stage.
Don’t want to, but I could.
I have a pedal ordering question for y'all.
I recently got a Broughton Studio One and a Finally v2 (w/12AU7). I really like the coloration that each gives, and (I believe) each has a DI with a transformer. I want to put them at the end of my chain right after my Cali Bass Compressor.
I like a clean slightly tubey sound with some brightness along with the warmth. Keeping in mind I'll use the DI on whichever one is last in the chain, how should they be ordered? Any ideas on which one has the "better" DI?
Oh and a companion question - I know it doesn't have a DI, but other than that how does the More compare with the Finally?

It's all personal preference, end of the day; both units have very nice DI outs! If it were me, I'd probably put the S1 last, since it has all the EQ options. Let it be that final tone sculptor before sending everything to FOH/the desk.
A tale of tube rolling.......I took the road less travelled, and that made all the difference......
After my Empress comp, the Dreamcatcher is my desert isle pedal. I also have a Detective that I really like, but it has been a clear 2nd fiddle to the DC. The blue/cleaner channel sounds great, but the red/higher gain channel has never been a home run to my ears. I started today with a Mesa 12ax7 in the red channel and a vintage GE 12au7 in the blue one. I had no wiggle room with the volume on the red side if I wanted some decent grit; it went from silent to stupid loud in 5 degrees of rotation from zero and didn't sound as good as the red channel of my DC. I rolled a few 12at7 and 12au7 tubes through the red channel with "meh" results. Then I thought .... why not set the blue channel dirty and make the red one clean? So I put a vintage RCA 12av7 tube in the red channel, nudged the bass up a tad and voila-great clean tube tone. It was then really easy to coax some sweet OD out of the blue channel with its' 12au7.... crank the gain and now I have foot switchable clean & dirty options as pleasing as the Dreamcatcher. Blue is the new red & vice-versa

I'm not expert and a complete noob when it comes to pedal building but them insides look snug and flush in a very pleasing way!
Thanks
I've been building for a while and I've come a long way, I'm very proud of the way this all fits together. I had been wanting to do something like this for a while, so I spent a lot of time trying to maximize the usable space inside the box in order to make it fit the way I want it to.
Thanks
Bravo man, bravo. Done a hell of a job here!
I bet this guy smacks at Tetris. Probably loads the hell out of a trailer too.Thanks
