Great, thank you! Oh and don't bother with looking for resources about biasing, I asked just in case there was something obvious to you that my Google searches might miss.
Would someone be willing to explain how the ordering system works? I'm trying to figure out when my next opportunity might be. Thanks!
Top right of the page let's you know how many build slots are available that month. You may be waiting until January. November is closed and December may be a break.
You two and @moon-bass have gotten their SSs, so that's half of them accounted for.
My UA has left Chicago airport. If it takes the same route the FK did, it'll have a stop in Dallas today and will leave for Frankfurt, Germany from there, hopefully arriving Monday or Tuesday - then that madness with the tax which will cost another day, and I'll know how the UA sounds - and only roughly 5 weeks wait on the SS.
Touche' - Nathan . That looks like another big hit coming some folks lucky way . Give us all some warning on the ordering process for this special edition when you get close to putting it out . it seems inevitable that the time is coming where the SB slogan will be " Crushing dreams - one special edition at a time " LOL ,,,, Kelly
I will be taking December off, so the next month for pre-orders will be January. That will likely open up sometime in December, I try not to take orders more than a month or so in advance of building them. First you choose what pedal you want and go to that page, then you configure your options (knob color, finish, LED color) and if there is a pre-order month available (there's a drop-down menu there to choose month) you can order it from that batch.
That being said I do have a handful of pre-made pedals (and will likely build a couple more in November and maybe even December) that will be sold as "in-stock" builds as soon as we get that set up on the website. I like to keep them around during ordering in case anyone orders one in the same finish as I have on hand, in which case I can save myself a build and they get their pedal way early. None of these match orders for November, so they will wind up as in-stock.
Right now the list is:
- SBVT - full color
- SBVT - raw/simple
- (2) JC Emerald - full color
- (2) Space Heater - full color
- Slampegg Bee Pre - raw/simple
So the post came late yesterday so I just got this opened. White with black is a good call! It’s a great looking pedal.
With the tiny red flecks it’s basically the Vivienne Westwood of pedals. Right?

That's a good thing to be, like a bit of VW, she's great!
Thank you, looking forward to doing a better one this weekend. I'll run a drum loop and the looper on my GT-1000core. I don't wanna do the twisty turny knob thing, I'll dial in a few tones I like and run the loop like that.
Sounds like a plan! I appreciate the response! Any idea when the "in-stock" section will be up and running?
Make sure you ENJOY December! Time off is so important, it's the "reset" button everybody needs.
Having said that, if you're GONNA make some "in-stock" pedals, a couple of Finally's would be a solid time investment.
Jus' sayin'...

I finally just got my actual Verellen Meatsmoke back from a friend's house, where it had been 'stuck' for the last ~2 years of COVID visitation restrictions. Your demo makes me want to fire it up again just to make some loud noise in the garage for the neighbours to "enjoy".
Way I see it, your neighbors knew what they were singing up for when they decided to live next to a bass player. Go get 'em!
Yeah. Rookie mistake on their part.
Since you are going to discontinue the Deep Dish, are you still planning on designing a single tube compressor pedal? If not would I be able to order a Dish Dish in January?
I want to do another take on a compressor, but I don't have anything specific in the works yet. I am still planning to do a handful of Deep Dishes before they're gone forever. I think I have parts left for 10 or so.
I wish to sincerely retract my earlier statements about the Smoke Stack after my bout of testing today with the little board of favorites and small amp, very tasty. This has me doing a total rethink of my pedal strategy going forward, after a private consult with Sir @Sushi Box FX.
The Blue channel is outstanding just as clean as the PA and UA that I have with just a bit more openness and grit when cranked or crunched [but why would you] the tone controls seem to have a bit more depth and there is a nice brightness that adds clarity without sounding strident. Digging in gives a nice grunt at the right drive point and the back pickup gets a nice punchy burp. Changing basses the SS retained each basses character with out the need for changing settings. Fingerstyle, pick or slap each had the expected sound. The SS Blue channel plays very nicely with all my effects, very important for me octavers, synths, strings, envelopes and modulation all sounded perfect. The Blue Channel is also a good platform if you already have drive or distortion voices you love, my FuzzNutz, Aftershock and Bass Ultrawave blasted through in all their glory.
The Red channel means business and is not for the meek but if you have been looking for saturated but defined distorted bass with lots of definition and control this is your ticket. This alone could be worth the price of admission. I also loved the way pushing the Red channel with my FuzzNutz gave me instant, very controllable harmonic feedback on several of my basses at low volume (not an easy thing) and was positively glorious on guitar too.
My test rig today. Basses used were 1982 Carvin LB50 Koa, 1990 Peavey Unity LTD, Peavey Verdine White, Peavey Dyna Bass Five, Gibson EB 14 5 String. Amps GK MB500 > 1x15
Guitars Franken mutts into GK MLS > 1x10
