I have an exciting board order out for delivery today, so everybody make sure you ask me Thursday morning how Gondwana is going.

Trying to wrap my head around the tech side of things, ... with limited success so far.
- Does the Finally do everything a buffer does?
- Can place it in front of the chain my board using the DI to feed the Scarlett for recording and the 1/4" to connect to my other pedals and then the amp the same time?
Yes to both questions. The Finally uses the same tube input and gain section that is in the Space Heater that feeds the DI output. The 1/4" output can be selected to be either dry pass through or from the gain section. The Finally can be placed anywhere in your signal chain depending on your needs.
I have mine at the end of my pre amps before my interface, a Zoom GCE3.
As Brad said you can put it anywhere you want in the chain, but I should clarify that Finally does not have a low impedance output. Vampire Slayer has a nice low output impedance of around 426Ω, whereas Finally, Space Heater, UA, DW, Slampegg, and probably some others I'm forgetting have an output impedance of 38kΩ.
And in case anyone was planning to ask, no real Gondwana news unfortunately. I was hoping I could get around my snag, but I remain snagged for now.
We all can be patient. Gondwana is a huge project.
1MΩ, typical for everything I make except for Slampegg, which I think is 2.2MΩ
Taking a break to try out the new UA design idea I had. The tonestack bypass works great, completely turns it into a Space Heater. Obviously no tonestack is lossless, so bypassing it gets you a bit more output.
I really dig mounting the tube this way. It's way easier to assemble for me, and mounting it above the surface of the box not only better protects it from impacts but also makes the tube easier to swap out.
I also experimented with moving the status LED to the outside of the box. I'm not totally sold on it.

I will be gigging the Red Box this week as a light fuzz...Just sounds killer.
@Sushi Box FX +1 on the tone bypass option and also love the look of the LEDs shining thru the vents.
Hope you find time for the Greenhouse.

I'm sure 99% of people prefer the internal led glowing through the vents.
I like both.
My prefered configuration would be: an internal always-on led + external on-off indicator, like in the Edison preamp, but my internal led would be far less bright to feel more natural.
Received my first 2 Sushi Box pedals, these things sound great. I can't pick a favourite from the 2, they both do their thing very well.
The Rainbow's End finish looks quite classy. I'm going to go for that for future pedals for sure (and I will be getting more).

I like this idea as well, maybe even with a trim pot to adjust the brightness of the internal LED's!
If nothing else, I think it will be hard for Shift Line to sell any of their products outside of Russia.
Popular Sovtek tubes may become scarce, too.
