I just realized my Paypal address is out of date... Too late to change it for the August batch?

Paging @Sushi Box FX (I messaged him too on the side)

Not too late. My wife convinced me to get out of the house for a bit today, so nothing has shipped yet. PM me your order number and I'll get it taken care of when I get home.

Nice spot. Enjoy.

That's a great view! PM incoming.

Question for the SBVT users how do you use the bright switch. I find the pedal brighter with it off. Is that a similar experience of others?

Also interested. I don't think I wired that switch backwards in the design, but stranger things have happened.

You guys are probably about as tired of August batch updates as I am by now. So here's where we stand:

Everything that is ready is boxed up. I'm about to do a mass shipping label extravaganza, so you should see some emails. IF YOU DON'T GET A SHIPPING EMAIL TONIGHT it means I am still working on your build. There are 5 pedals that didn't pass testing, ranging from "fully functional but LED doesn't light," a 5 minute fix, to "this one straight up picks up radio signals," up to 3 hours fix (about the amount of time for a scratch re-build). I have every intention of getting these wrapped up tomorrow so I can FINALLY call this batch complete.

Should I do a pedal-by-pedal countdown to finish off the August batch?

Mmkay, so leaving the inductors the same here's the changes that I plan to make (and obviously anyone else is free to) for a better variety of frequencies:

View attachment 4383937

All caps are 0805 package MLCC, 50V rated, nothing rare or expensive. Let me know if you have any questions.

Will October SBVTs have these values?

 

[Sushi Box FX]

Will October SBVTs have these values?

Yup, August and September too

 

[macmanlou]

Yup, August and September too

Excellent.

The frequency values on the web site are for the original SBVT.

So I got 15 different circuit board designs yesterday, which means in an effort to always keep 2 pending orders in all the time I had to place another order at 1AM. So yesterday I got the following delivered:

• SBVT
• JC Emerald
• Deep Dish
• King Nothing
• Wrecking Ball X
• Black Eye X
• Dr. Wattson X
• Vampire Slayer
• Sunnday Drive X
• Underground Accelerator
• Space Heater
• Slampegg Bee Pre X
• Fluffy Kitten
• custom Arduino motor controller shield (long story)

And I currently have the following working their way through the system:

• Sashimi Fuzz
• Ambassador (Matchless preamp)
• Echosaurus Valve
• Finally (tube DI)
• Headmaster (Dumble preamp)
• Greenhouse (tube FX loop/blend thingy)

Sashimi, Ambassador, and Echosaurus Valve are pending carrier pickup so they should be here early next week, the others are in various stages of production and will probably be late next week or early the following week.

I'd like to formally offer beta testing services for the following:

• SBVT
• JC Emerald
• Deep Dish
• King Nothing
• Wrecking Ball X
• Black Eye X
• Dr. Wattson X
• Vampire Slayer
• Sunnday Drive X
• Underground Accelerator
• Space Heater
• Slampegg Bee Pre X
• Fluffy Kitten
• custom Arduino motor controller shield (long story)
• Sashimi Fuzz
• Ambassador (Matchless preamp)
• Echosaurus Valve
• Finally (tube DI)
• Headmaster (Dumble preamp)
• Greenhouse (tube FX loop/blend thingy)

lol. Mostly curious about the new new stuff… Ambassador, Headmaster, Fluffy Kitten, and Sashimi in particular. But since I’m not actively playing a ton of guitar right now, I don’t have a lot of motivation or justification to be placing orders for any of those in the near term.
