Are we notified either way?

That's a solid question, I was planning on just notifying the ones that were drawn, I could also notify the ones that weren't, people like communication.

I would list the people from here that got chosen, but I only recognize a handful from their real names.

EDIT: I'm actually going to hold off on emailing the ones that didn't get picked on the offchance someone that did get picked backs out for whatever reason and I end up choosing more people. I realize it's probably a slim chance, but it's a chance.

@Sonicblaze just suggested a way I could post the names of everyone that was drawn without posting people's full names. Below are the first two letters of the first and last name of everyone that was chosen. i.e. Nathan Slade would be Na Sl. I checked the list and there are no duplicates this way, so if those are the first letters in the first and last name that you submitted then that is you.

I'm going to go eat cookies with my kids then get them to bed, I'll get the emails sent out after that, so maybe in an hour or so. And I will absolutely post here letting everyone know the emails have been sent out.

Mmkay, just sent out the emails for the people whose names were drawn with instructions on how to order, and the people chosen have until Thursday 11:59PM (central time) to order. If anyone that was chosen up to this point decides not to order, I will give their spot away to someone else who will then have approximately 24 hours to order, etc.

This has been a lot more work than I intended. I still want to keep doing handwired builds, but I don't know if I want to do any more limited edition builds.

I did the math earlier and have been prepared for disappointment. Tonight was closing night on a contract for a 27 show run that started the final weekend of November (For some reason, people are willing to pay me big bucks for singing and acting. Bass? not so much). I just got home totally exhausted, and saw that I hadn't gotten an e-mail. Then I got caught up on this thread. I read the list twice and failed to see my initials. I was ready to go completely Eeyore. "Well, thanks for noticing me anyway." I am not particularly lucky when it comes to scoring pedals. I've been slaughtered multiple times in the Broughton drops with nary a score in sight. Then it caught my eye. My initials were there. I almost started to cry. (I might have issues). It's just that I've had my hopes pinned on this one since they were first mentioned, and I've brought them up repeatedly in this thread. I honestly feel for those that really really wanted one and didn't luck out this time. I hope that in the future all your pedal dreams come true. As for me, it's an absolute Christmas miracle.

Hey Senor - Sorry about the messy lottery system . I really thought folks would have the sense to be ready to purchase if they were picked and tire kickers would stay on the side lines as I did while I waited on the cost of my car repair bill to get done . Sadly - that took till yesterday morning and precluded any shot I had . I'm hoping you will not stop with the limited models entirely but perhaps there could be some changes made that'd facilitate production . For one - I'd say you can do it w/o the wood veneer . Your normal finishes and designs are really eye catching as is and the special editions are special because of the upgraded insides and the sound improvements due to the upgraded components . Secondly - perhaps they could be done on an order basis like Arkham does . You could decide how many you feel like making - announce that and require upfront payment then build away . Wish I had a better solution to offer up - maybe later after the coffee kicks in ! .... Kelly

Paid, glad to get my first Sushi at last.

For those of you who use a Sushi box tube preamp and a HX Stomp, how do you use them? SB first, last, in the loop?
I will experiment of course, but i'd like to know…

HX stomp in a drawer, gathering dust, slampegg in the UA LE. UA always on and slampegg full gain when required

Sennheiser wireless -> Hyper luminal -> slampegg -> UA -> TE Elf or Traynor yba100 -> one10
Once you put the sushi in the signal chain you don't need the HX stomp (results may vary)

I'm totally cool with not being selected in the SH drawing. I think it was fun and gracious of Mr. Sushi to offer something in a month that he was going to take off. I already have two pedals on order for the January build. Apparently my choices were popular with others. Merry Holidays to all!

Described above several posts back but my question was lost in the lottery flurry ;-) I am wondering about using a boost after my mini tube Slampegg. It is lower output than the 12ax based Partical Axcelerator (PAx). Currently I'm using a solid state boost. Wondering if the Space Heater belongs in that spot... or it the Space Heater maybe even replaces the Slampegg mini or if I dump the SH and do a Slampegg X...

For live use, I always cable at least 2 basses. In one band there is a 400 song song book... BL calls tunes he feels fit the mood of the room... I change basses fairly often and it needs to happen like right now. Generally I cable a 4 and a 5. To gain blance as well as getting my initial tone, I use the Slampegg & boost for one, and the PAx for the other. Those go to a Radial Big Shot i/o for switching. Output to a dedicated comp and then to the Stomp. There is a Future Impact in the loop of the Stomp.

I use an external 2 button switch for Stomp snapshot up/down and control the Stomp patch and FI path with an MC-6.

I also use the 3Sigma German bass IR's for fretless for piezo 'juice'. I have a few piezo and fretless options that I call on for folk rock settings. One of my bands can do a 3 hour folk rock set and we mix it up a lot so UBass, Barker Brio/Graphtech Ghost, ABG Fretted or Fretless - something is coming along for the ride on those dates. I have 2 of those coming up near term (OR and WA Governor's willing...) probably fretless ABG and a dual Dark Star Lecompte that I don't seem to be able to put down...

For me the Stomp is basically a smaller version of the EFX. The only 'amp' model I use is the mic pre and I use that only when going with a 'nano' setup of switcher, Comp or PAx and Stomp. The studio comp in the Stomp is OK but the Empress is better. The amp models don't stand up for me. What I love in the Stomp are the mild grinds (Retro Reel at the moment), the sub Octaves (using crossover split path and sub Octve on the mids/highs, a little warm dirt on the lows) and modulation - 70's chorus or Grey Flange...

I'm reading Craig Anderton's new e-book on the Helix family. very informative. about to start the chapter on bass. Maybe he'll sway my thinking.
