We’ve got backyard chickens. They are fun and easy pets.I'm growing food this year so I can by more toob pedals. I want chickens but the wife says no.
how is the 5751 configured? I recall liking it in my old PAX, though not as much as the sqeaky clean 12AU7.
5751 has two equal stages, just a little lower gain than 12AX7 on both sides.
The 12AT7 is the next significant step down in gain from the 5751, and is not nearly as clean as the 12au7, and has been a popular choice for replacing a 12AX7 if more clean gain, yet some breakup, is desirable.
I like the name "Fancy", it is keeping the DI's in the F name category.
Get the basic "Finally" DI, or the "Fancy" DI? has a good ring to it.
Or being that "Fancy" is a step up from "Finally", maybe it ascends up to the "Furthermore".
Mmkay, another April batch update:
Almost done! There are 3 pedals that haven't been completed, 2 should be done tonight and the 3rd is special circumstances the customer is aware of. Everything that is completed has gone through testing, and the vast majority passed. Two of the HWLR have low output volume, probably a bad solder joint somewhere, and the only SMD Slampegg isn't passing signal at all, none of which should present any huge problem. Everything else is good and just needs LEDs and knobs added before being boxed up for shipping. I'm planning to start shipping tonight so I can clear out the stuff that is ready to go.
I know I said I would send invoices yesterday for those that upgraded to handwired from previous SMD orders and I completely forgot. I'll get those out tonight, and it should be fairly obvious that your order won't ship if there is an outstanding balance.

With a pedal in the bench already named MORE, I feel like FURTHERMORE would make a nice pair of pedals on that theme. Something like the super basic one-knob MORE preamp (should it ever see the light of day), with bells and whistles added.
On Sunday, we picked up four week-old chicks for Mother’s Day, for my wife. We thought. My wife says I am walking around like a nervous mother hen, worrying if they are happy and safe and warm. She just wants eggs… we both grew up in rural areas, and had chickens as kids. My son named the runt barred rock Chickpea, and I named the other one PotPie. The two Buff Orpingtons I named Nugget and Tender. I wanted some chickens like that photo above but we couldn’t find any. And, living in a Colorado city, we needed docile, quiet, cold and heat hardy. I spent more on them and feed than a pile of eggs!I'm growing food this year so I can by more toob pedals. I want chickens but the wife says no.
With a nod to the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, I would name it FURTHURMORE.
...methinks the path leads through S'more to Rushmore , avoiding sophomore and Seymour, possibly reaching Evermore.......
I think this is the way to go. I love my big tube preamps/DI boxes, but an HPF and an LPF would be really nice.
Compressors are such a personal choice, I rarely, if ever, use a built in preamp or amp compressor. With a higher end preamp, aix, headphones, etc. Just wasted space and expense for me.
With that, and with Gondwanda as a "fly rig" you have it covered
Hey @Sushi Box FX ,
I was just thinking about what to eat for lunch and had an idea. If(when?) you end up building an all tube head please name it "The Love Boat"
Good idea, but it will make the search engine optimization even more difficult
(excuse me for this comment from a web professional)I mean :
Google : Sushi Box Underground Accelerator -> OK
Google : Sushi Box Finally -> OK
Google : Sushi Box The Love Boat --> KO

So the bad news is I still haven't started shipping for April, but the good news is I got a bunch more pictures that I didn't have yet. I'm planning to employ my in-house shipping department (child labor) to get things headed out tonight. I didn't have time to finish up the stragglers last night as I need to sleep eventually, but I expect everything to be finished and heading out by the end of the week.
New stamp came out great. Apparently I had already stopped making Lab Rat when I started doing stamps.
My quality control specialist is "checking the pedals".
You sure know how to instill confidence in your customers.
