@Mr. Sushi- With the Neptunium, is there a way to tell the approximate amount of mid cut and the approximate frequency cut when the settings are-
Low cut On
Bass at 3 o’clock
Treble at 1 o’clock

Noble/Nobelium/Neptunium uses a modified Fender tone stack, which does not have fixed frequencies for any of the controls; the frequencies affected are interactive between the three controls.

But with the controls in that position you're probably looking at something like this.

The HPF will roll off 6dB per octave below 90Hz, which I unfortunately don't have a way to plot, but this gives you an idea.

Thank you SO much!

I love the Red Sparkle Nobelium, looks awesome!
That's an impressive collection

Thanks, the Nobelium is Metallic Candy Red from Tayda, I wanted to see what the candy colours looked like from Tayda, I like the Metallic Candy Red the best so far.
I love how simple yet really effective the graphics are that Nathan made up for the C2CE pedals, they look real good, at least when you manage to pick the right colours on the graphics and the box

This should be very close to the tone stack in the Nobelium, just leave the Mid slider on 10 since the mid is a fixed resistor in the Nobelium.

I need to know about that power amp? with the transformer on top. Very cool setup.

I used RobRobinette's 5F6A-M amp circuit from the Master Volume pot onward with a typical Sushi / C2CE power supply feeding it.
It uses 1/2 of a 12AY7 triode feeding a 12AU7 in push pull mode, I have tried it with a 12BH7 as well since it gives it a little bit more power (30%).
I felt I did not get full power even though it was loud enough for me so I am going to use the other half of the 12AY7 for another gain stage in the next version.
The 2 watt OT2PP transformer from Musical Power Supplies performed well even with Bass but the next one will get a 5 watt OT5PP+ USA made transformer since it has a better bass range (50Hz)
The next version will have the switch and pot closer to the front as well, the switch has a standby position where the heaters are left on but the HV is turned off to the tubes.

I can fit a Hammond 125A transformer inside the box but the bass range would not be as good so that's why I went with the enclosed MPS transformer on top.
I put another photo with the Hammond OT inside on post #473 in the C2CE thread

Thanks for this!

@Sushi Box FX
Sorry if this has been answered.
With the new soft touch relay bypass switching.
Is it possible to have it power on to its last state, on in my case.
My Mire always powers up off.

It is not possible for it to power on to its last state, but it is possible to change which state it powers up into.

Unplug power, then while holding down the footswitch, plug power back in. Keep the footswitch down for a few seconds until the LED flashes.

If you're wondering why this isn't formally documented on the website, it's because I always get distracted and never get documentation done.

Well so far the SS has pretty much relegated the Compressore to the shelf

Thanks for the thoughts!! Hmm… now I need to seriously consider saving up and having two… involving a wait… or sell one to get a proper SS

That's why you're a PedalPCB darling

Clearly you need to have a word with the Comms and Marketing department! Good staff are hard to come by these days!

Nathan-how much gain does single slice have on tap? Any idea why Scuba has yet to post a SS review?

Sometimes they are too busy doing their homework from school.

Single Slice, finally got around to getting a first impression. Tested with a Kubicki so I could easily switch between active and passive.

The tone is distinctive, with an inherent character. Regardless of the difference in the circuits, it feels similar to the More, in that it imparts this chewy, wooly old school lead sled vibe.

What is surprisingly transparent is the gain management. The Single Slice does a remarkable job of bringing up the softer notes and adding significant sustain, with no pumping, or obvious breathing. Throughout the compression envelope, the noise floor is very low and consistent.

This is based on my first 15 minutes, but I’m immediately committed to spending more time getting to know its range. It’s firmly planted in my favorite comps club; Apex, Omnicomp, Diamond, Keeley Bassist, Spaceman Ixion, and Smoothie.

Looking forward to your opinion of the next 45 minutes

My initial impression has not changed after spending more time with the Single Slice. First some wandering exploration, checking out the extremes, (it’s impossible to get it to sound bad), then today some detailed tweaking and scrutiny. I’ve currently landed here.

I started 100% wet, made it very squishy, then dialed in some parallel dry to a lovely, potent, harmonically rich foundation. I will get my first use in a jam tomorrow night, but I’m already a fan. I won’t always want so much flavor in my comp, but that’s why we have options.

Tomorrow’s board iteration.

The mini tube Slampegg was purchased on a whim, out of curiosity at a time when Sushibox mini tube production had been retired. I didn’t find any reason or place to use as a clean preamp, but I’m really enjoying it as an on demand Overdrive. By itself or stacked it’s very effective.

HXFX, Bass Envelope Filter Pro, Gnomeratron, and FoxRox Octron III, continue to impress and deliver after years of service.

it’s impossible to get it to sound bad

That was a specific goal of mine. It was possible to get to what I consider unusably extreme settings on Deep Dish, but when I looked at the setting people were actually using it didn't seem like it made sense to let it sound bad. I appreciate giving people options and letting them decide what to do, and there will always be outliers that want sounds I wouldn't imagine, but overall "impossible to get it to sound bad" is one of my goals.

Nathan-how much gain does single slice have on tap? Any idea why Scuba has yet to post a SS review?

It doesn't have loads of gain, especially compared to my preamps. It will get you above unity, but I wouldn't say you can use it as a clean boost to push your amp into overdrive.

I'll check through my messages with Scuba, but I think I already answered all the questions he asked and told him to go ahead with the review whenever he's ready, so I assume he's just been busy. I'm not paying him for a review, so I'm obviously not pushing him to get it done.

Popping in to sing the praises of how well the MORE and the Finally v2 work together for direct recording. I've been tracking some things for my own projects and for others recently, and the notable thickness and warmth of just these 2 pedals together provides is fantastic. Also of note is how well this combo tames and warms up my 3-band StingRay, which can be tricky in terms of the treble and mid characteristics to smooth out at times.

That is an impressive collection of pedal choices there, respect. Are you using the Slampegg Bee as an overdrive? It does get an interesting bit of nasty when cranked. Those early mini tubes have a bit of crunchy magic that the 12ax7 versions seem to miss IMO.
I must admit a bit of jealousy over that Gnomeratron, choice.
