The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Um yeah, you can't just make that statement and not post a photo
I had every intention of doing so, I've been in and out of meetings all morning and just finished my lunch break. And now for your viewing pleasure ;)

This looks so much better then the raw. I would love to see the white enclosure with full color print option available on all your pedals.
Funny that you should mention that...

Starting in August I'm discontinuing fractured cherry as it's the last of my two-part finishes and takes 2-3x as much time to put on, and I'm replacing it with white. White will have the same option as raw, you can choose simple artwork or full color print over the top.
 
Remember how I was having that weird problem with my CNC machine hanging up and freezing? Well I figured it out. I thought it was weird that it had only started a couple months ago after running a couple months without problem. Turns out it started having trouble after I moved the UPS (battery backup) from the garage to the basement so I could use it on the UV printer. The wiring in my garage is kind of sketchy (only a 10A breaker for some reason, I plan to have it rewired eventually), and any time I run anything beefy like the oven or the air compressor the lights dim, which generally means the voltage on the line is sagging under the load. Well it turns out the CNC motor controller really doesn't like that, and when the voltage sags the controller resets, that's what's been causing the hang-ups. When I had the UPS in the garage the battery was able to hold up the line voltage for the second or so that the line dropped so the motor controller was happy, but when I took it away it started getting mad.

So I now own two UPS systems, one for the garage and one for the basement, so the CNC should be a lot happier now, which means that in turn I will be a lot happier.
 
If it really slows you down you don't need another "thing" to do, but it would be really cool. I can't think of a single person offering that lol
I'd have to put constraints on the size/dimensions of the file, but as long as the file fits those constraints it really doesn't take long to get a file loaded in and put the tube on the printer and tape it down. So it's kind of a silly thing to offer which is probably why no one does it, but it is kind of neat.
 
Had a bit of a late night last night as I have today off from my day job and got to sleep in. All powdercoating and printing is now completely finished, and if you had sent me a pedal for repair (including March Westinghouse board swapping) or had requested a replacement tube for your Westinghouse they're all in the mail now.

TAD tubes though, not Sushi Box :P Sushi Box tubes probably won't be available until August.
 
Oh snap, I still need to sort out my Westinghouse...good reminder. I'm guessing it will get handled when you're back from your well-deserved sabbatical.
That is of course an option, but I will have plenty of time to handle repairs during my break, so whenever you want it taken care of I can take care of it.

Alright, quick opinion poll:

One of the things I'm going to be spending time on soon is Gondwana, so I've been thinking about how I want to replace the rotary selector with a footswitch setup, but I want some opinions: would you prefer to have one footswitch that cycles through all the presets, or would it be better to have two footswitches for up/down scrolling?
