Sweet.They sure are
BTW I will be rocking my Sushi gear out by you at RocHaus on 5/7
That place is great and treats us well. Can’t wait.
Sweet, that's less than a mile from my house. I'll totally be there.
I just read that Mr Box might spend March without building pedals. That'd mean I can get in the order for April which means it arrives in May.
I do not enjoy that kind of forward planning.

What’s up with the new designs being offered as prizes to the Luthiers Corner Build off winner ? Sounds like a great idea for sure but are these one offs or stealth releases ? Inquiring minds !!!! …. Kelly
The preamp is basically a Space Heater, the compressor is basically a modified Keeley comp. I mean I could make extras (I think I have 10 of each board) and sell those as well if anyone is interested, but the plan was for them to just be one-offs for the build off.
Care to expand on the modified keeley comp? The bassist is my current favorite.

Cool looking board. What's that swirly symbol that looks like a comma with eyes?
It was mostly a frequency response thing. I like the way the Keeley comp works on bass, but I like a really rumbly low end, and I felt like it was cutting too much.
Dunno, saw it online somewhere and thought it looked neat.

Look what I get to experiment with this weekend:
to paraphrase the grand funk... I'm getting closer to my ...
The HX Stomp ... right now it's just a 2 effects loop controller ... Future Impact on one side, Slampegg into Deep Dish on the other. The Stomp itself is in the effects loop of the Mesa. I think if I had a really good modulation pedal and a 2 or 3 loop controller, preferably midi controllable... this could be it for a while.
For slightly dirty thing... it doesn't get much better for me than a pushed Slampegg. The Mesa of course is amazing... all I need for the clean side.
HX Stomp, definately looking over it's shoulder...

I'm about halfway done testing the January batch, and hot damn I had forgotten how good DWX sounds. That may have to go on my bass board when I officially put together a bass board.
So far every pedal has passed testing except one, a Deep Dish. The compressor part works fine, but in the last revision I tried to improve the gain reduction indicator circuit and successfully made it way worse. Fortunately I designed extra pads into the board so I can swap some parts around and get it back to where it was before.

And boom, done testing. Everything passed with the exception of:
- Deep Dish - audio was fine, need to fix lights
- Sunnday Drive - prettty sure it's a bad switch, preamp works but bypass doesn't
- @Sonicblaze's Echosaurus - I think I forgot to program it, sorry dude

Lots to love on that pedalboard! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tom. It's been a journey to find the right blend to support 2 very different bands.
The Slampegg X is pivotal. Into the Deep Dish it is crazy cool

Well I apologize, it looks like shipping notices aren't happening tonight after all, my wife fell asleep early and I had forgotten how long the boxing process takes by myself. So everything that's ready to ship is in a box, I'll get them all taped up and get shipping notices tomorrow, then circle back to the three that need some help.
Umm, yeah, I know. Several pages ago when I was talking about how much I liked mine, and you said something to the effect of “it’s not really my sound”, I thought “well your sound sucks then”.
I’m kidding.
Kinda.
But in all seriousness, it is, in my opinion, an amazing sounding preamp for bass.
