The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

No real effect on the tone, it's just output level. The tone is fairly consistent throughout the sweep.

Perfect.

My only thought on the More is that the name might be tricky to search. Some thoughts I had:

1to1 (1tube1?)

Mahi:Mahi

Otoro

“The Deuce”

 

[macmanlou]

Thinking of the upcoming "fancy DI". If this makes a difference, "Furthermore" is a registered trademark with several companies. However, I found no registrations of "Futhurmore".

He didn't need the phase switch on any of the pedals he tried

A phase switch might be more important for bass. If an out of phase pedal causes a drop in the low end like other loop pedals I've tried, then not having a phase switch would be a deal breaker for me.

Just stumbled in your work. I grew up in the surrounding towns around W.Dundee! C’ville, Elgin and lived in W. Dundee by the Squire! So awesome to see you getting some nice and intriguing noise makers. I’m interested in checking out the smoke signal at some point. But not sure about the ac needs of the pedal and if I can accommodate that with my existing power source.

Oh cool, I'm around the corner from the Squire, I'm just off the 31. As for power, I recommend a minimum 600mA for dual tube pedals like Smoke Signal, so anything higher than that is great.

Like all Sushi Box pedals, the Smoke Signal will take either a 9v DC or 12v DC power supply; there is no difference in headroom or performance between either voltage.
Since it's a model that uses two tubes, it will draw about 900mA during the first 20-30 seconds while the tubes warm up, settling down to a draw of about 480mA during normal use.

I have not heard the More but can imagine the positive effect from my experiences with @Sushi Box FX and studio recording. Taking the latter first.

Many savvy studio engineers love to chain vintage analog and tube gear together to get the benefit of multiple gain input and output stages and the various transformers and filters involved for warmth, presence and phatness. It is an alchemy of chasing the ultimate tone for microphones and for recording the lowly bass.

Bass players experiencing and observing this practice have set forth to find their own holy trail of tone that they can play through all the time. That has fueled the vast preamp/DI and compressor development and market.

@Sushi Box FX in his own R&D has built and developed a number of designs and solved many technical problems that combined with his education, curiosity and drive to innovate has created some spectacular solutions. So many are already fans of the Space Heater and the Finally DI that are two gain stages that add richness and warmth. The More mimics one of the most treasured classic input/output stages used on many direct recorded bass tracks that benefits from 4 stages of tube gain stages. All of this in a single sized pedal box with top jacks powered by 9v. Brilliance.


I would prefer an input and output control and regardless will certainly be buying.

......I have nary a picotrace of electrical engineering knowledge, but to my ears the single 12ax7 boxes Le Sushimaster has cooked up are notably more 3D, complex and richly satisfying to my ears than other single tube designs I have owned (like Eden Glowplug, AMT A Bass, EBS Valvedrive, and even the onboard pre of my WD800 and old multitube Walkabout).

You guys are going to make me cry Seriously, I appreciate the kind words. I always enjoy trying new things to come up with cool sounds, and I'm not perfect, but I will always try to do a good job and make people happy.

With regards to @bassbrad's comments on More though, the topology is a bit misleading. It has 2 tubes so it technically has 4 stages available, but it's actually only one gain stage! The 12AU7 has both stages run in parallel, not cascaded, for the only gainstage. The level (gain, volume, whatever you want to call that knob) goes right after this paralleled gainstage. The 12AT7 also has both stages running in parallel, but it's configured as a cathode follower output buffer for a nice low-impedance output. That's why it only has one knob, there's really only one stage to control.

Gig report. It was insane, there was moshing, crowd surfing, bra tossing (remember panty catchers), and all around pure rock and roll fun. I am so wound up, probly wont sleep until Monday.

Dixon IL Petunia Fest, had my Sushi rollin’ through my in ears and out the mains, which were 8 subs on either side of the stage. Was incredible. This was one for the books. Love my UA and finally!

I can’t help but to believe that Sushi had this crowd roaring! Was great to play to the younger people, they seemed to have a blast.

Epic snap my man, just shows to go that every man/woman/child needs at least one Sushi Box and the world would be a better place! Peace, ed

 

[Leo was right]

If you are not really a pedal person (other than a compressor), but have become interested in SB pedals, which would be the one to buy?
Lately I've been using SWR or GK amps (although my favorite is an SVT that is too heavy).
I use either a Fender or Stingray and a 2x12 GB cabinet and play rock, funk, R&B.
Not interested in distortion but curious if a SB could add some something/something for tonal gains.
A little bit of OD would be OK but have not been satisfied with using a pedal for this previously.

Perhaps a Space Heater or Slampeg?
Is hand wired worth the cost?
TIA

SBVT ! the real thing.

I comfirm that the sbvt in front of the Mesa first stage (with or without the V-twin) is doing a great job, everything is there. In the past I tried to acheive a sound with only one component, always searching for the holy grail, but I begin to think that the key is cascading multiple stages ,running the gain just before saturation, in my actual setup I have six 12ax7 in cascade, it never sound like this.

When looking at the schematic of vintage SVT or V4B, there is more stage of tubes than others amps, maybe thetre is something there.

So I was reading this and thinking which SB pedal would be a good substitute for my GlowPlug, which I quite like but it is not on my board due to the shape, size and clunky power supply. I have SB gear and plan to get more, but what I have does not approximate a GlowPlug.

what sushi boxes do you currently have?

 

[Derek Williams]

SBVT ! the real thing.

The SBVT isn't available right now.

 

[DrHooper]

The HWSBVT isn't available yet.

FYP

 

[Leo was right]

Yes it is true.

 

[MTN.bass72]

You're thinking of Furthermore.

This is just More: More – Sushi Box FX

But speaking of, @Sushi Box FX should probably rename one of these (More, Furthermore); the names are too close/similar, especially for not really being related pedals.

Thanks for the link...
Now I want MORE... Sushi
See what I did there?
I'll see myself out..

FYI @Sushi Box FX I sent you a pm regarding request for finish change on my July order. Thx.
