Question - anyone find that the XLR out from your Neptunium is noisy? I go directly into the board at my church and i can hear the noise (it's quite obvious). So i used the 1/4 out with a separate DI and it was much better. Is this normal with tube pedals or something that's not exactly right with my pedal?
I have a Finally v1 and the only times have had a noise issue is when plugged into a channel that has phantom power engaged, when switched off or using another channel it was as quiet as one would expect.
 
Has anyone tried the new more signature pedal on bass? Is it still good for us or does it loose some low end? I’m wanting to find some good tube goodness to sit at the end of my chain before going to my Radial JDI and then FOH with IEM support. Open to other options as well.

My keyboardist had a Korg Kronos once, a piano that features a tube preamp stage. A sound guy fed it phantom power once (via XLR, as most common), and it freaked out, then went to a quiet hum (only). A power cycle fixed it once we got phantom power turned off, but it alerted me to the possible conflict, maybe without a specially included barrier of some kind.

With the bass cut toggle off it's the same frequency response as the old version, 100% great for bass. I didn't find the bass cut super useful on bass, but it definitely improves it for guitar.
 
Hi, can it be fixable? I’ll try to described what happened the best I can.

I was practicing as usual the day was usually hot almost 2 hours on. I heard an “Pump” sound, and I stopped hearing my bass sound from my interface. I started to trouble shoot to see what could be wrong, compressor was getting signal, and the stomp aswel but the More while turned on stopped passing sound to my mi DI, when disengage the pedal I got my sound back, and the pedal was extremely hot so I disconnected it. Now it’s dead. Can it be fixable ??

To bring this back on topic: with the Neptunium and the Grand Slampegg in my arsenal the Studio One, though a great piece of kit, has been gathering dust. I'm thinking of replacing it with another Sushi pedal but don't know what to get, there's so many good options. Elementary would complement the other very much clean preamps nicely me thinks but has no DI out.

Is there a timeline on an Elementary Deluxe or was that no longer in the works?

I'd try replacing each / both tubes first if you have some extras on hand, otherwise I'd probably just email Mr. Sushi.

You should contact Nathan directly by email, he has always been responsive and very considerate to all of his users. Be sure to include any detail you xcan imagine so he can give the best answer possible.

Don't let the lack of xlr change your decision. Pedalnetics dim stick uses the sushi box unagi transformer so any pedal can have a di.

+1 for the Pedalnetics DIm Stick or even the Mini DI. Currently it is my favored passive DI even over the redoubtable Radial JDI.
