Guess what came in the mail today…
My first “new” pedals ever.
Perhaps a little excited

Sure, coupon code permylastemail for Venus Z has been extended up to May 15.
Maybe try the MXR VBO?
I love my octabvre mkiii (haven't tried the 3.33) and also dig the COG T16 I managed to snag here recently, but the VBO is a solid non-boutique option
Source Audio Spectrum is quite flexible as an octave, envelope, lfo, dirt and more... C4 even more better
TRex Quint Machine makes all my sounds into massive chords, plays well with all my effects

We have had multiple requests to reopen the thread. At the same time, there is a site rule disallowing tariff discussion as political. I have deleted the posts and quotes of same that mention tariffs. If the thread is to remain open, that is a subject that needs to be avoided.
I think it’s fine for the maker to discuss changes that will be happening due to supply chain issues. What is important, though, is that we don’t just substitute politics by proxy for politics. This means that it’s fine for the maker to announce changes that they are forced to make due to supply chain issues, but not to otherwise comment on the cause of the specific issues. We should also avoid passing judgement - from either direction - on the supply chain issues, either by assigning blame for them or excusing/apologizing for them. To do so would constitute politics by proxy.
If we can collectively manage to do that, then we can keep the thread open. If not, then it will get closed again. Moderators may choose to reply ban members who appear to be trying to get the thread closed by inserting politics.
Let’s give the thread a chance to stay open.

We’ll behave. Thanks mods!
To celebrate, here are my most awesome Sushibox preamp/DIs

finally. V3 kicked the Neptunium off my board. Been gigging this.
I’m with you. I tried the Noble thing with the Neptunium and HX One and I’m just not that enamored with it.
I am to the point where I don’t want anything to do with Fender/Orange/Marshall/etc tonestacks where mids are cut only or not even there.
I still own a Super Bassman, Little Bastard, and a UA, but yeah, kinda always gravitate to a SVT tone because it just works so well in a mix.
That's a nice board! Can you tell me about the xvive you have there? Do you have a line going out to an amp/foh, and one going to the U4? Or is it plugged into something else? Looks like you are using both 1/4 and xlr out of the finally?
Hurray, we have the thread back! I was hoping that was just a temporary time-out...
To celebrate, here's my Underground Accelerator (and other stuff) while on tour in Jamaica. This was during soundcheck in Negril, right next to Seven Mile Beach! It may be a wee bit tricky to spot the UA, feel free to blame the sunset if you must LOL.

Thanks.
So the xvive is for my IEM feed. I use it live, from an AUX send from FOH board.
At home for practice, I use it coming from the headphone out of my audio interface.
As the pic sits, I have it on my desk at home for practice. The 1/4” out goes to a Fender Rumble Stack, or a QSC K12.2.
Live at gigs, the 1/4” out is not used, unless I bring the QSC for back up monitoring.
The XLR is always used for FOH or IEM practices at home going to my AI.
What is it you like better about the Finally? I have used the Neptunium with bass and treble all the way down, and no HPF filter. Basically just a tube preamp. If I didn't plan to use the HPF on a Finally, would it do anything more for me then a Neptunium would? I guess the Neptunium has volume, and the Finally as level and gain? Is that just to push the tube past clean?
I was just about to post when I realised you were asking #FronTowardEnemy... oops.
Why I like the Finally?
I have both the Nobelium which is very similar to the Neptunium and I now have a Finally.
If you keep the EQ flat then the Finally offers more options.
While I love both, currently I don't need an EQ at the end of my signal chain, however, the Finally has an adjustable hpf which I tune to whatever room I'm in... This keeps my bass tight without losing any or needing to boost it back up again it like I do with my Nobelium (and would if I had the Neptunium).
More than that, the Finally plays well with higher gain tubes... so sometimes with a 12AT7 [fitted by Nathan on request] I set the gain to just before break-up and then I use dynamics to shift in and out of breakup. But at the moment I went back to a long-plate 12AU7 and use enough gain to get some more tubeyness...
As you can see I have a thing for tubey sound... my lights dim when I switch this board on.
Can you have too much tube saturation?
Super-saturated-sound?
I would say it is more of a preference at the moment, rather than which one I like better.
As I like to put it, each pedal is like an ingredient, I didn’t really need the eq at the end of my chain with my current board.
finally. V3 just fit better with my current board configuration, as well as the Stomp having a Noble clone, Regal DI, so Neptunium was redundant.
I do like the HPF on V3, I don’t always use it, but it is there if I need it. I had always used an fdeck or Broughton HPF in the past with great results as well.
I have a bunch of pedals sitting in parts drawers, and I am about to put together a more analog board where the Neptunium will be put back to use. I just need to make some cables and put it together.
For me it was "tube tone". I have my Finally which has the bite and growl (and gain), and got a Nep to try... but it was simply too clean, it didn't sound like I was playing with a tube front end at all. So sold it and went back to my Finally.
Nathan, if you did decide to move back to your wife's home country could the first new pedal please be a slayer overdrive called Ghenghis Khan ?
How about Pleasure Dome?
Or some sort of dual channel tube drive/distortion, with a Kimono, or honeydew, aesthetic, and call it something like the "Milk of Paradise"
