I tried the Finally at 12v and I like it! Now maybe I should start looking for a NOS 5751.
Is there such a thing as an in-line 9v-12v voltage 133-percenter like the One Spot and Xotic 9v-18v doublers?
Setting everything up I realized that SB can be powered either tip-negative or -positive, and I can save myself a special cable or adapter, but I am a little unnerved by going tip-positive when it's inconsistent with everything else.

There shouldn't be any difference between 9v and 12v, and I don't think I heard any on mine (but I already switched my tube to a 12au7 so it became more of a clean DI that way).
@Sushi Box FX anything special or different about the Finally that'd make 12v act different different 9v?
From the FAQ page on the site:
Q: Can I increase headroom if I feed it more than 9v?
A: No. All SushiBox pedals have internal voltage regulators, which means whatever voltage you send it (9-12v) it is always running at the same internal tube voltage of ~235v.

^Truth. The tube sees the same high voltage regardless of what you're feeding it, increasing the voltage just increases the heater voltage, so you'll notice it running a little warmer. Shouldn't be any change to tone.
Just got an order for a white Echosaurus, that's going to be neat looking.
I think I'm up to 5 Echosaurus orders for January so far

Just plopped down my order for a Watson X in January. I have an old Tech 21 Leeds that has been my go to for DI guitar for years, looking forward to giving this beauty a whirl.
I'm a little bit late to the party here, but you would still need a tone stack. I put the HPF/LPF directly before my preamp. I figure that I want my effects to have the full spectrum to work with, and I'll filter out anything unwanted close to the end. Filters can add low and dirt can add unwanted high, so putting the HPF/LPF after everything else but before the tone stack will give a nice clean signal to the preamp.
Just my thoughts.
This with a red led.
Looks so cool!!
Ya beat me to it... but I'm in now... copycatting FronTowardEnemy white, black and red. Not only am I'm weak... I'm vain ;-) and yes, my 3rd as well. Joining a PA and Slampegg.
Now we gotta work on Mr Sushi to do a 12a based channel strip in a pedal...
I think I had my third Sushi pedal within two weeks of having my first.
I feel like I should've started with three instead of just two...
At least I got started. I mean, you can't have a preamp without a DI, right?

Both you guys are copycatting me, I was up and ordering stuff at 1a...
Great minds think alike.
When you're due at your desk at 5 am and have a first client meeting at 5:30... staying up to 1:00 is i'll advised ;-) so making up for lost time ...
So I've been playing around with my Smoke Signal and I've realized I really dig the sound around the 8-9 o'clock position on the drive channel. If I were to put in a tube with a lower gain factor, say a 12at7 or 12au7 - would I end up making my "usable range" wider on the gain knob? Effectively making spreading that 8-9 o'clock range wider allowing more fine tuning? Also, would switching brands from JJ to, say, Mullard create a more low-mid focused sound? thirdest question - if I have the pedal open, which tube is clean which one is drive?
Echosaurus ordered. I don't need another delay and I don't even need another tape delay but yeah.
In theory yup, that would absolutely do it.
Again I would expect it to, Mullards are "warmer" than JJ in my experience, but as with anything subjective, YMMV.
So the gain channel stacks the two tubes so either tube will affect it. But if you have the pedal open in front of you the tube on the right is only used by the drive channel, the one on the left is used by both channels and can therefore be oversimplified as the clean tube.
My experience with rolling tubes in my Meatsmoke head was to put the best sounding 12AX7 in the first tube stage, and then putting a lower gain tube in V2 so that the lower gain tube only affects the OD channel. Putting a lower gain tube in V1 only took away from the clean channel tone. I went with a 5751 in V2, but honestly lately would consider going even lower gain on that side.
There's an idea. I need the OD channel to be not so much.
