The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Question regarding the Watt, how transparent can the compressor circuit be? In other words, can I run it as a Finally v3 if need be?
If you turn the blend fully counterclockwise, the compression circuit is effectively bypassed.
 
My Sushi board (as opposed to the sushi boat or charcuterie board) has an Empress comp driving an Underground Accellerator and a Finally V2. I got no problems with that setup. Mostly that one is in my IEM's with my folk rock band. If there were issues, they would be obvious...
I feel like someone knowledgeable needs to 3d print a sushi boat with dimensions to hold pedals now….
 
Hello Friends,
with my Finally v3 i get a unpleasant microphonic effect when i activate te HPF filter. Is this normal?
With HPF Off its not present. Changed tubes but to no avail.

Another thing i noticed is after activating the pedal i get some serious noise over the DI output for quiet a while. Its not the fault of the power supply, i tried various of high quality. Jack output is not affected by this.
Any suggestions?

Can I see a picture of the circuit board in your pedal? The earliest version of this pedal had a microphonics issue reported in about 20% of the batch and it resulted in a complete redesign of the circuit board. It's unfortunately not an easy fix as it requires sending the unit back to me for rework, but it's something I will absolutely take care of.

If it isn't from that batch of boards, I will still do my best to help figure out what's going on and get it sorted.

Greetings, sushi aficionados. I have a Venus X, as new except for velcro, available for trade. I thought I would really dig the active EQ, but in the end, I am preferring my passive boxes of sushi and need neither the DI nor the cabsim. My first choice would be to swap for a detective plus a little cash, with bonus points for an older box with custom finish. Another elementary for my second board plus cash would also be welcome. Also interested in a Watt, nice comp or Empress eq?? If interested, message me with what you're thinking. Open to other creative offers. I am in Montreal, but can receive trade items at a US address.

same here. it’s something i could use in my toolbox. the small form factor is important.
not the xlr out though as i’ll run it into a finally v3.
For me the idea would be replacing 3 units at the end of my chain all at once (Particle A, RFE, DI), in a small form factor. I need to carry the board constantly it would be a great solution to keep things light and efficient
 
Could this be the reason why i get some noise from DI out but not the 1/4 jack?
It disappears after a while maybe 10-15 minutes so my assumption is this happens during warm up phase, but otherwise it shouldn't take that long to reach steady temperature..?
I wouldn't expect that to be the case, the transformer shouldn't be inducing any noise, and noise for 15 minutes then no noise sounds like something may be wrong. If the power supply is known good (basically either the one included with it or a Cioks, not many others I trust) I would start looking at the tubes and try changing the tube positions in the pedal (the XLR circuit only needs one tube so if V1 is bad then you can swap in V2 and have a working XLR section) or swap in a known good tube if you have one on hand. If you have any more questions on this one please feel free to reach out via PM or email.
