The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

As much as I love the raw/simple enclosures, that white one is pure class.
I was really disappointed nobody ordered a matte black one, I wanted to see what that will look like. The white does looks super classy.
 
So I don't normally put stickers on pedals, but
  • I wanted a way to easily differentiate Jensen units from Lightning Boy units
  • The stickers should come off easily without residue
  • The stickers look super sharp
  • I'm still stoked as hell to be working with @lightningboy iron in these

Love the way these turned out! I can’t imagine ever needing a tube DI, but my curiosity is piqued. I’ll be waiting for audio samples :)

Any pics of spectacular looking Ambassadors this month?
Not yet, the Ambassadors are one of the only ones that aren't finished yet. The enclosures turned out fabulous though.

I almost wish you had a Jensen sticker for mine ;-!
Alas Jensen isn't as cool as Lightning Boy, I'm not a big enough manufacturer for Jensen to care about me.
 
So I got my COVID vaccine booster yesterday and didn't notice any side effects yesterday, but today I've been feeling super tired. Just finished a movie with the wife, and now I think I'll go to bed. She and I did enough work yesterday that I should still be able to finish everything tomorrow and ship on Monday.

Fun fact: Smoke Signal is the only thing I did completely by myself this month because assembly is different than most pedals. All the other models my wife did at least a couple. I think she did all of the Space Heaters. She doesn't play guitar so she doesn't really care about pedals, but she's been soldering for 7 years now and has gotten pretty good, so I can often convince her to work with me.
 
So this one is a little different. The customer liked the Ambassador artwork but was ordering a King Nothing, so asked for this artwork with no labels on it. Not hard for me to do, so I said okay.

Side note: November build slots are sold out, thank you all as always for your support.

Hmmm...maybe I'll be the first to get it in matte black ..;) when does December open?

So I can...finally ... have some senor sushi tubes on my board..
See what I did there? :cool:
I'll see myself out now.

Oh, and then a Smoke Stack...and a Sashimi... and...
 
I'm leaning toward not building anything in December and taking the month off. To be determined though.
You've worked hard all year developing new products, delivering our tone dreams and tools and deserve to enjoy the Holidays with your family and recharge for 2022.

Besides our pockets likely need a break as well.
