So for those of you who run more than one Suhi Pedal here is what I was able to conjure up for a killer board capable of either IEM or going in front of an amp with no noise.

I had to remove my Becos Stella, and place the Hyper Luminal in between the UA and finally. The symptoms I had were the finally was making a high pitch noise while it was only running. This could’ve been because of the Nux mini studio, while engaged stopped all unwanted noise. That is great for IEM use, but if I want to run in front of an amp and not use a cab sim then a change was needed.

I found that my volume dropped and I had to crank up the gain and volume on the UA to get unity gain while running in front of an amp without the mini studio activated. I wanted unity gain with or without all pedals on or off. So this current configuration works as it should with the Hyper Luminal eliminating gain and noise issues. Glad I had it on hand and I am able to accomplish what I need.

So here it is, after I cut up and soldered new cables, added new feet, and tried to properly and neatly run cables without interference to my HPF and IEC power connection under the board. Oh and both Sushi’s have red LED’s.

I too am curious about these big feet.

What are those feet on the nano+
Mine are smaller.
I bought some bigger feet but they fit poorly. The idea is to raise the board so I can put a cheap Harley benton power supply underneath without having to spend crazy money for Cioks or Truetone blocks.

I dremeled off the original riveted feet and drilled new holes for #8 washer and #8 metal screws and installed them. Needed too for the Broughton. It was an ants ass hair off.

Here’s a link l to the feet.

In the past I have been nonplussed with the effects of preamp tube rolling.......tried several in my Walkabouts and never thought they differed enough to make it worth actually thinking about.....but when the UA arrives I will restart the lab with vintage Amperex and Raytheon ax7 and at7 and GE au7 vs newish Mesa and JJ ax7s.....I wunner when the latest batch will arrive at USPS for dissemination.....

CAUGHT IN THE ACT. This is why the EQ settings on my test amp keep changing.

I wonder if I could get permission to just print the logo onto the box so I don't have to worry about remembering to add the stickers, that would make it a bit easier for my forgetful brain.

Please don't. Or at least make it optional on the website.
The first thing I did when I received my SMD Finally was remove the sticker, and that'll be the first thing I do when I receive my HW Finally as well.
Honestly, I think they should just be left on their backing and put in the box with each Finally... then I'd be likely to actually put it on one of my sticker-bombed objects...

Please be sure to share your honest results with the class; good or bad, big or small.

Different strokes and all.
I like the "Extra Cool Item Inside" thing.

As my Finally will not be on a board but tossed into the gigbag then onto the floor often I was thinking I may need to bug for another sticker in a year or so when it rubs off.

I've been trying to find a Jensen sticker for my Finally, but the only ones I can find are too big.

Thanks. I don't own and i don't know how to use a Dremel but your link is very useful, especially the diameter.
I'll see if I can make my silicone feet stick to the board with double sided tape or other sticky thing.

Cheers. Kinda steep though.

Pedaltrain should really switch to screw in feet. Of course they won't. It'd be like Apple using regular USB ports. Ain't gonna happen unless the UN security council themselves force them to do it.

....another vote here for leaving the sticker on its' backing and dropping it in the box for application wherever, at the discretion of the customer.

The tricky thing there is that the sticker says "Lightning Boy Magnetics Inside", it's more informational than advertising. But I'll think about it.

Also hopefully a bunch of people should have received shipping notices around 4AM, which was not my plan at all but I'll sleep much better tonight knowing I did everything I could to get stuff done. There are now only 8 pedals in the May batch that haven't been completed and shipped yet, and I should be able to finish those in the two days between returning from my road trip and leaving for NAMM.

Indeed--I was just waking up on the East Coast!

I'm gonna put it on my Darkglass pedal to really keep people guessing.

You can try to use 3M low profile dual lock, I used it to secure the Broughton HPF and Strymon “laptop” power adapter under my board. It is extremely strong.
Here’s a link where I got it.

That's a good point. Still, I personally would never want it printed on the face of the pedal.
Additional stickers or logos on the sides of a pedal don't bother me though. Maybe with my HW Finally I'll carefully peel the sticker off the face and stick it next to the XLR...
