The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

I got my new mug and magnet a few days ago, and today I got my new shirts and hoodie. Yup, I'm cool.

You know, that would make excellent packing material for a pedal. reusable and environmentally friendly.
And if I could find a place where I could get reasonably priced shirts in bulk I would consider it, but the one-off printing places are appealing right now so I don't have to worry about stocking the right colors and the right sizes for everyone.
 
April and May batch should be good to go, if my backorder ships in time should he good through June as well. I wonder what the street value is of these.

About $1,000 to $1,250 at least, based on the last prices I saw on Tube Depot for 12ax7 depending on if they are tested Low Noise/Microphonic.
 
Give it another week or two and $5,000! LOL

It's interesting many of the more "expensive" vintage and NOS tubes haven't seen anywhere close to as much of an increase in price.

It's a pretty small price gap now, but I'm sure WAY harder to get in quantity.
 
I am expecting that, next time I am visiting my local Jazz club (Dazzle) or music store (Flipside, who have a great pedal selection but sadly no Sushi), I am likely to be accosted by a poor bedraggled musician in an overcoat: “hey, man, wanna buy some tubes?” as he opens one side to show the pockets filled with little blue cardboard boxes… I can see the cartoon now.
 
I took the night off to work on some personal stuff I've been wanting to do, including getting some nice pictures of the HW stuff. I also have a couple new pedals I'm boxing up, but the powdercoated boxes are still cooling in the garage, so I'll get them put together for pics tomorrow.

Ooh mama!
 
Very nice product images, an art form to itself. I wonder how a scanner would work, to get really good detail? I’ve done that with plants and stones and that was sometimes a revelation.
I use a lightbox, haven't tried a scanner. I'll give it a shot sometime. I would worry that something with too much shape would give off shadows though.

Should slide those Lo and Hi labels closer to the switches on Slampegg, they look like part of the pedal name and not labels for what those switches do.
