The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

It almost makes me wonder if the switch isn’t wired backwards.

Well that's pretty easy to figure out - mess with the knobs in each position - they should only be active with the switch down.

Loving the sound of my Pbass into a Cali and into the Neptunium. Loving this pedal so much! Adds a nice heft to my tone and you really feel it as you play. That’s my experience.

So this past weekend I made an interesting and puzzling observation. I have the Finally v2 as the last pedal on my board before going to my amp. I typically run it with the gain and the level set to about 9 o'clock and with the toggles down (So basically No HPF and the Pre-Out engaged.) The intent is just to add a little tube warmth to the input of my Quilter BB 803.

In the process of tweaking a couple of other pedals I also just wanted to verify unity level so I switched the toggle from Pre-Out to Dry Passt and found that when in the Dry Pass position my signal was actually fatter and warmer than with the toggle in Pre-Out which seems very strange to me.

What power supply are you using with the pedal? If your output sounds fatter in warmer in bypass, it makes me think your tube may be unhappy, and not getting enough current will frequently result in thin-sounding low output.

Nathan, keep those schematics a secret as long as possible

Same result with the original JJ tube?

Woooow! Hopefully it will be available at your site mid-late Nov?

That's just the circuit boards, the enclosures haven't shipped yet, and then everything will need a final fit-check and thorough testing, but barring unforeseen circumstances I think late November is a reasonable estimate.

Take all the time you need dear sir. I'll just enjoy my slampegg while waiting for this grand one. Cheers for a successful pedal company!

Same result with the original tube, a Mullard 12AU7 and a TungSol 12AU7.

I think Santa might be extra busy this year, never mind the posties and delivery people.

Can't find it by searching this thread, apologies if it's already been covered, but are the 1/4" and xlr outputs on the finally/nobellium and other pedals with and xlr output in phase with each other?

I had to think about it, but yes in every pedal I've made with both XLR and 1/4" outputs, the two outputs are in phase with each other.

Perfect! that makes setting up the tiny board even easier

I saw Geese open for KGLW at The Gorge.

This is my ish! lol my style of music sn I LOVE Trevor’s tone! Tryin to get it myself my Spector Euro isnt going for it im looking at new pres or bass

 

[PhishPhan22]

How do you guys like EQn the UA? I think im noticing my lows are to low like on my bass the bass is ti much for gain to come through as easy. Im using the pedal to get that tube my sound. I have a spec euro dark glass tone cap an im using the bass from the pedal more then the bass guitar but it makes it where the pedal doesn’t shine something about the dark glass judt doesn’t have enough clarity or sparkle to me.

Ive wondered which pedal would match the UA for eqn + more tube sound I have a genzler Magellan 800 head and he just came out with tubed version of it ! Wish I woulda waited! But the class D Magellan is amazing sn has a great DI so I just wonder can I get the pedal to gst me there.

Maybe flip to tube to a 5751, imho it 'tamed'/cleaned the bass a bit....that said I did revert back

I like the EQ on my UA just fine, but TBH 90% of the time (or more) I run it with the EQ off, gain at 50% into a messenger JR that handles my LHPF and EQ. That combo takes effects pedals brilliantly.

I also feed a YYZ into that set up … spot on Geddy nasty. And an SV-Pre for clean.

My point. If you don’t like the EQ on the UA, turn it off and feed an EQ you do like to it.
