The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

As soon as that la1a design get's hammered out I'm jumping on board. I've been toying with ditching my hyper luminal for the effectrode as I missed my ehx blackfinger's tube warmth that thing was just too noisey and the powersupply sucked. The effectrode price, size, and lack of metering are what have kind of held me back so far so if this new design can nail the tone with the di metering and added features I'm 100% on board doesn't hurt that I live like 45 minutes away from west Dundee either so I could probably just meet up in person rather then deal with shipping.

I’d love to see the purple version of this, kind of an Illusion Sugar Plum.
Totally down! I am already on the verge of making my PA purple.
My Slampegg (Nov) is going to be Candy Purple. I’d bet the corresponding purple to that Apple would be pretty fine.
So maybe something kind of like this? Invalid Link Removed

I will keep you posted for sure :) And frankly when I get a prototype together you'd be more than welcome to swing by and try it if you like. There are a lot more musicians in the Chicago area than in the last town I was living in, I was thinking about doing "shop tours" and inviting people to come and try out some pedals. Little weird with the pandemic and whatnot, but I'm still thinking about offering it on a small scale.

I know it's easier when you can try something out before you buy, and I don't know that I'll ever really get to a point where I have stock that I can distribute to retail stores, but if anyone is ever in the general Chicago area and has a circuit they want to try out, let me know, we can figure something out.
 
There will be loads of pictures tomorrow, I promise ;)

So I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but decent equipment and a "fake it-it-till-you-make-it" attitude is a good start at least :P All enclosures for October have been powdercoated and engraved, final assembly is happening TODAY.

These look so good! the wait is almost over! luckily I am one state over, so hopefully the shipping company is quick.

Oh yeah. That’ll do nicely.

I said I wouldn't get carried away with buying powder, and I already ordered the other two, but this might happen :P

I have a friend in Louisville that I ship stuff to pretty frequently, it's usually just a day or two :)
 
That Illusion Royal looks nice! I'd flip from regular Candy Blue to that if you end up getting it!
And I feel like a lot of people would. I mostly got the candy finishes for me because I love that look, but I think the sparkle finishes are turning out to be really cool and I think people may end up preferring them.

They all look awesome. I’d need more pedals. You know.... to collect all the colours. :smug:

It looks like I'll definitely be changing my PA and Lab Rat colors to these new colors. I want to hear your opinion before I do though.

I have plenty of "defective" enclosures that I've messed up one way or another, I can try the coats on them first and post pictures so people can make an informed decision. That way you'll see not only what it looks on a pedal enclosure, but what it looks like when applied by an amateur instead of a professional ;)
