The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Senior Sushi:
Question about the SVT II enclosure misprint - are the enclosures correctly labeled as to each pre/dry switch position, though one switch position is reversed, or are one of the switches incorrectly labeled (meaning if the switch is in the position named “pre” the signal is actually dry).

Thanks!
One of the switches (the XLR Out switch) is actually mislabeled, the labels are swapped per the actual function of the switch.

Dang, missed that first sale. Must've gone quick!
No you didn't, it hasn't gone up for sale yet.

Same, I have the Origin SV and there's obviously a tremendous amount of overlap here

Been crossing my fingers that the xlr out has a fridge cab sim like how the Venus X had a 410, since that's a huge part of the svt sound, but haven't seen that mentioned
I would have loved to implement a nice 8x10 IR into it, but honestly I was never fully satisfied with the way I had done it on the Venus X, so I'm not planning to put IR into any more of my pedals until I have it more fully figured out.

One thing that I really like is that Nathan will add a power supply with the pedal that can easily drive any of his pedals for only $13 extra.
I'm not sure that I should mention that you can buy the power supply by itself for $13 in the C2CE shop now since I am going to order 4 power supplies for myself as soon as I can order his latest PCB that he is releasing, now that I have mentioned it there might not be any left when I want to order them.
They are great for home use or for when someone wants to borrow a pedal to try out for themself.
I'm actually including these power supplies at no charge with SBVT II because the power requirements are more than a single output from a Cioks supply can handle, so I want to make sure everyone has a reliable power supply right out of the box.

We need detailed sound reports on this like ASAP! Ideally yesterday please!
Hopefully it won't take long to get more detailed reports from the couple people who are getting demo units from me.

I hope the delivery date is met...it's the day I'm off work and the day my wife works...I wouldn't have to justify the new toy, hahaha

would a truespot cs6 be capable of running the 900ma needed for the sbvt pedal? would the line 6 hx stomp cable do it?
Yes, as long as the total output of the CS6 isn't exceeded with everything else that's plugged into it then it should be able to handle it.

Hi, sushibox, would you be able to give us a little demo? Thanks a lot.
I'll see what I can do.
 
From what I've read here, More doesn't really break up, it's more of a clean headroom preamp to just give you more of whatever you run into it.
More -> Elementary sounds interesting, but i have not first-hand experience with those pedals, so not sure Watt it will sound like.

maybe others will chime in with More (and Elementary) first-hand experience.
So an accidental discovery re: the More breaking up… it won’t do it on its own, however I threw my Neptunium in front of it last night, pushed the master and lo and behold… some dirt! It was absolutely unintentional (basically an experiment in lining up additional tubes on the Np 1/4” out in an attempt to convince myself I don’t NEED a C2C Nobelium build).

Maybe bc the 12AT7 breaks up easier than the 12AU7 does, a hotter input signal lets you really push that tube? Nathan can weigh in on if this is supposed to happen… or if I inadvertently broke my More, haha.

Any circuit or component can be pushed past design tolerances into some flavor of what we perceive as distortion/clipping/saturation even ones with an intentionally high threshold like the MORE, sometimes this can be pleasing and others none at all. The only time I have heard a MORE pushed into clipping was when recording a keyboard that was cranked way too loud, upon learned the player wanted distortion I made a more appropriate choice for tube saturation iirc we used my JC Emerald that sounded glorious.
MORE was derived from an earlier SB pedal the Deep Dish compressor using the input and output stages that many found pleasing myself included.
 
Well, it finally arrived today, which was actually pretty quick considering it went through Germany before returning to Spain (if it actually came from the West to the East), and there weren't any additional charges, great!!!
I'll test it out a bit at home with the DAW, but we're rehearsing on Saturday and that's where it's going to be, live.
And I know it's not the ideal place to put the sticker, because sooner or later some careless person with their phone will hit me (it wouldn't be the first time) and I'll have to fix it... but I had to put something there because the little cover that goes there tends to get lost. So, Mr. Sushi, you have advertising all over Madrid and the surrounding area.hehehe
