The Underground Accelerator for sure. I have the PAX which shares the same basic circuit. It's somewhat reminiscent of the Dr. but it's fatter and thicker. The Dr. can get a little grinder, but I find with both I can dial in a nice sweet spot.I'm still playing my Dr. Wattson daily. There's an upper-midrange grit/sweetness, but without treble harshness, that I haven't found anywhere else. It's the closest to my beloved Traynor YBA-200 of any pedal I've tried.
Based on that description, what other Sushi pedals should be on my radar?

I'm taking a quick snack break, so now seems like as good a time as any to give a description of Fluffy Kitten. I'll get it updated on the website soon as well.
Fluffy Kitten is a high gain distortion using a low-voltage JFET setup. Each JFET stage is manually biased to play nicely with the others, with the goal of getting as much rich gain as possible without oscillation. It will still get noisy as you crank the gain though, as you would expect of a high gain circuit. Fender style tone stack with capacitors tweaked a little for more low end. Plays well with guitar and bass.
Controls:
Bite = Gain
Meow = Presence
Rawr = Volume
Growl = Bass
Purr = Mids
Hiss = Treble
Takes 9-12V input, but actually now that I think about it I think it can go up to 18V. I'll have to double check. Typical polarity protection I put in everything so polarity of input doesn't matter. Super low current draw, like it doesn't even register on the lab power supply that I use for current testing. Safe to say less than 10mA.

Pardon my French but what the hell is that fine looking bass ? Kelly
Thanks! That is a lefty Warwick Vampyre, made in Germany. Maple body, ovangkol neck, wenge fingerboard.Pardon my French but what the hell is that fine looking bass ? Kelly

My old head! crazy bastard made it way up there lol (you want to hear some really nice bass, run the head into a load box and output the XLR, I've seen folks pass up $1k plus preamps to use the transformer on that unit for recording
I just got my first Warwick, every morning when I wake up I slap myself in the face to why I haven't bought one yet... such an amazing bass. Custom CV

Yeah, it's amazing. Look up any 15' NAMM video from Warwick's booth and you'll see this exact bass, its a 2014 and even passed around as it has been, not a single scratch. Their transparent finish must be something special lolCongrats! Love the transparent finish!!
I have a LB30 also, it is a great little amp. I have some NOS RCA’s in the preamp section and love it.Oh hands down, no contest. Two tubes using all four gain stages gets heavier than a single JFET pushing a single tube.
It really is. I'm hoping to have time this week to finish it up and get it back to you, but in the meantime I've been enjoying rattling some windows

Yeah I see the chicken heads are red now. Put some better tubes in it, Im sure its in the right place. Deoxit the pots as well, never got around to cleaning inside@FronTowardEnemy @labeledbass
he's sprucing it up a bit and adding some bling
Hmmm I always had that same problem with the switches as well. I just may have to do something similar to mine.Yea I had to add the chicken heads to fit my fat fingers onto the switches and the red seemed the obvious choice.
amazon. I think it was 10 bucks for a dozenHmmm I always had that same problem with the switches as well. I just may have to something similar to mine.
Well thank you. Much more likely to happen now if I don't have to hunt for them. I AM that kind of lazy sometimes.amazon. I think it was 10 bucks for a dozen
