The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

[gh0st42]

Quick question for those of you that have December orders: I've been planning to stop using the laser for artwork and start using the UV printer for all builds starting January, would anyone be terribly upset if I started it in December instead? I'm getting tired of all the work that comes with lasering, UV printing is a lot less hassle

No issue here.

I’m down for UV Printing on my December Lab Rat, if it’s easier!

If it will get my Slampegg to me sooner, I’m down with whatever!

Awesome, I would love to switch right over to UV. The laser gave me some trouble this month, and the UV printer is more reliable and easier to fix mistakes.

As a quick November update, thanksgiving plans and my day job have slowed me down a little, as did the X series and Deep Dish work, but I am still planning to be done before the end of the month. Currently everything has been engraved (except for a couple that the laser messed up that need to be re-done). Currently all boards have been soldered up and just need their tubes installed (2-3 minutes per pedal) and final assembly (20-30 minutes per pedal). I'm taking tonight off but I'll be back into it tomorrow and am going to try to have everything done by Saturday.

As a side note, I've always loved the look of the Edison, so I totally want it. Not to reverse engineer or anything, I've just always thought they were neat

It was easily the best looking pedal on my board at the time and sounded great. If it was normal size with top jacks, I’d have kept it. But I have some other stuff coming that’ll ease the pain.

Yeah, and I've opened it and they definitely could have tweaked that to be friendlier; there's a lot of wasted space in there.
I still love it so far, but I fully expect one of the SB pedals I have on the way kick it off my board.

I'll be curious about your comparisons and which takes the place of the Night Owl. I've wanted one for a long time, but have a Slampegg in November builds and a spot for March.

As you should. It's Thanksgiving. Enjoy some time with your family.

Never swapped tubes from a pedal before. But forgot my father in law fixes old tube radios.

You just happened to FORGET ABOUT THE GIANT WALL FULL OF TOOBS AT YOUR RELATIVES HOUSE? What kind of musician are you?

Sorry. I'm calmer now. Looks like I have a bit of catching up to do in this thread.

That is a beautiful mountain of glass and wire! RCA made heaps of really good tubes. I’m curious what treasures are hiding in there!

You all get bust while I'm asleep here in Oz - I can wake up to 2 pages of unread posts some mornings! It was quiet this morning, you all must be busy eating.

I gotta say it kinda looks like none of those are the 12a variety, meaning I’m not sure if a single one of them will work in your X series pedal. You and I have the same luck it seems.

Yep - my dad used to do old radios also and I went thru his toob collection before he sold everything off, and there was literally not one I could use.

Wow... that's the treasure at the end of the rainbow right there!

Little bottles on glowing tonal fire. Aka tubes.

If anyone has been thinking of a bigger power supply, nows the day to buy one from Prymaxe...
