Excellent.

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

Noted, I'll get that fixed (or more likely ask @Sonicblaze to fix for me).

Very generous of you :p
  • SBVT - tested, fully functional
  • JC Emerald - not tested yet
  • Deep Dish - not tested yet
  • King Nothing - not tested yet
  • Wrecking Ball X - not tested yet
  • Black Eye X - tested, full functional
  • Dr. Wattson X - tested, fully functional
  • Vampire Slayer - not tested yet
  • Sunnday Drive X - not tested yet
  • Underground Accelerator - tested, fully functional
  • Space Heater - tested, fully functional
  • Slampegg Bee Pre X - tested, fully functional
  • Fluffy Kitten - tested, needs bias adjustment but otherwise fully functional
  • custom Arduino motor controller shield (long story) - tested, fully functional
  • Sashimi Fuzz - tested, failed; pending redesign
  • Ambassador (Matchless preamp) - tested, fully functional
  • Echosaurus Valve - tested, decided cost/benefit wasn't worth it
  • Finally (tube DI) - not tested yet
  • Headmaster (Dumble preamp) - not tested yet
  • Greenhouse (tube FX loop/blend thingy) - not tested yet
I have all of the above boards on hand and will be building up most if not all of them over the next couple weeks as I work on the September batch. I also have the following designs in the works that will go in my next board order:
  • Echosaurus - same circuit as before but tidying up the design, moving it to the smaller enclosure, keeping top jacks
  • Mirage Tremolo - complete redesign; previous version used tube signal path w/ solid-state oscillator, this one is switching to a tube oscillator
  • "Brisket" (working title) - Verellen Meatsmoke preamp; it will be two channel + true bypass so it's going in a Hammond 1590XX (same size as Wrecking Ball X) despite only having two tubes
  • Sashimi Fuzz mk ii - trying again with Sashimi, going to take it in a different direction

Is it possible to have a previous-version SBVT modded to the new mid-selector values on the upcoming batches?

>and I'll mail you some capacitors for a couple bucks. Or if you don't like soldering and would prefer to ship it to me I can do it for you. Just let me know.

Got a little something in the mail today.

It’s nice being that close!

Spent half an hour debugging this thing before figuring out I switched the damn jack positions on the circuit board. Plugged into the 1/4" output and XLR into the interface, beautiful DI tone. So this board has two mistakes, but the design is solid and I should be able to have it available soon.

Is the out a clean/unaltered passthru, or is it the same output as the XLR, just tapped pre-transformer?

Which size enclosure are you moving it to? Board real estate has become an issue of late.

Keen to see more about the Finally - is it modeled after anything or a new design?

Both options available via toggle switch. You can have unaffected passthrough or preamp output through the 1/4" out, but XLR is only preamp through the transformer.

Hammond 1590B if you're hip on the box size names. Same size enclosure as Space Heater, Vampire Slayer, etc.

Finally is based on the Space Heater. I've designed it to handle either a Jensen or a Lightning Boy transformer, the one I have put together right now has a Jensen.

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.

I threw up in my mouth when I read this post.
You're saying you're not motivated to order pedals? That you don't "need"?
I don't know what to think about this.

I also just bought a Broughton Archetype for a whole bunch of money. I'd be lying if I said that didn't play a part in my decision making process lol.

Very nice packaging. Which transformer did you go with (if you mentioned it already I forget)?

I think he said in the photo was the Jensen. Hard to go wrong with that... I have a LBA TIBox and it's excellent as well. I think either would be just fine. Win-Win.

I'd be curious what the other side of the box looks like too -- Does this thing have knobs that do things or strictly a DI?
