The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Digging the "Deluxe" series pedals. Suggestion for another one: based on the classic Fender Showman, 12AX7 for the preamp/tone stack, 1/4" preamp output, 12AT7 LTP phase inverter driving the DI transformer, with plenty of signal level to push a power amp directly (1.4V sensitivity). Goal is to get that amazing overdriven Showman sound that Phil Lesh, Jack Casady, and Chris Squire (among many others) got in the late '60s and early '70s.

Or maybe just a micro power amp version, 12AT7 and a pair of EL84s, bring your own preamp (UA or Elementary).
 
Has the logo on it too
Yup, that's because it was made by me.

Feels like a whole brand revamp between the More v2 (which is gorgeous) and the deluxes.
A decade or so from now, when the rebranded Sushibox Audio Devices has transcended its humble beginnings, those of us still alive on Talkbass will wax nostalgic about the good old days. We will laugh about Russian military mini tubes, custom colors, and how Nathan had time to answer questions at a moments notice.
 
Yes!
I do wonder how exactly the last claim ("and it will hurt...") has been tried and tested...
This is what we call "verification by analysis" which is often favored over "verification by test".

Ah, real science!
As a software developer, I have learnt that our way younger domain usually cannot strive for the former (except possibly in live-threatening environments) and must mainly cope with the latter, and even then it's not "verification of correctness" but only "checking the existence of errors" with the humble notion that not finding errors doesn't say there are none...
