The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

#141
I ordered a London Underground w/ top jacks for the December batch :).
@Sushi Box FX , how different are the tone stacks between the LU and the Particle Accelerator? Do I need a PA too, or do they cover some of the same ground?

Edit: I think I made a terrible mistake. I ordered it (orange of course) with a white LED thinking of the standard pedal indicator, not backlighting for tubes. Will this look lame?

100% affiliated with this one (sorry for the super crappy pic !). It's a super sweet option to let his future owner decides if he keeps the Octopus like it or have some of them reprogrammed. As for the effects, messing to have the chorus sounding like i'd expect to but the other ones are super nice sounding.

Yeah the chorus isn't amazing, I've been playing with the patch trying to make it better, sorry about that. Here's a few pictures I took of yours before I shipped it if you want to use them:

As much as I would love to sell you one of everything :P They're really similar. PA has a little more low frequency response, but the topography of the two is exactly the same, just a couple values are different. So if you liked the general structure of the AD200B but wanted more low end I could substitute the values from the PA tone stack. I would offer to put both of them in and have a switch between them, but honestly I don't expect that you would use both, you would just choose the one you like better and leave it there.

I can't remember thinking this of any other companies' name but 'Sushi box' sounds strange to me...not that it matters...

It's strange for sure, but people remember it ;) And here's a confession, I don't even like sushi :P I've always sucked at naming things, and my previous name was super lame, so a friend of mine suggested Sushi Box and drew up a logo for me, and it stuck :)

I just received an Sushibox Octopus from Reverb - I would have bought one new to support the man making them, but they weren't available (I hope me makes more, y'all need one). It's a fun box to play with, but the reason I'm writing this post is because of the reverb. It's good; I mean, really good. There are three reverbs programmed into this box, and I'm assuming it's a room reverb I'm commenting on (I have no idea what's actually programmed into this pedal), and I really like it. It's lush and warm and adds a shimmer that makes solos sound better. I have an Alexander Sky, which I've never been happy with, and the Octopus just kicked it off of the pedal board. This is my first impression after playing with it for a couple hours. I'm still messing with the tremolo and octave (it looks like octave up and down). Fun for sure; but again, the reverb is good enough for a stand alone pedal. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying it :) I will be making more of these, I have 25 more of the chips in the mail right now, I'm planning to get them added back to the website today.

The chip is pretty flexible and can do a number of neat things, but it definitely seems to do reverb better than anything else.

Thanks! I’ll stick with the LU for now then. No need to modify anything.

Oh, I don't think it sucks, and I do like Sushi...all kinds of sushi... I really do like Sushi.
When I see the name I think...'shouldn't that be 'Bento box' ' the association with Japanese food but there not really being suchi boxes (afaik) is what throws me a little.

"An oshizushihako (Japanese: 押し寿司箱, literally: pressed sushi box) is a box or mold used to make oshizushi (pressed sushi). The box is traditionally made from wood, but nowadays often made from plastic. ... The bottom and top parts can be covered with a layer of plastic foil for easier cleaning."

Apparently.

Hi, your web page says that you don't ship to my country (Czech Republic). Is there anything which can be done, or is it final? Thank you.

I have to add countries one at a time for shipping costs, there's nothing automatic. But I will ship anywhere I can, it's just a matter of getting it added in. Just added Czech Republic :)

How does the Wattson compare? I’ve tried to do some research into Hiwatt, and it seems their tone stack isn’t “standard”. Just curious how that translates to a pedal.

The Hiwatt tonestack is definitely a little different. It has some similarities to the traditional Fender style stack, but it has some extras that I haven't seen anywhere else. As far as frequency response I'm going to be modifying the stock Dr103 stack as it's currently voiced for guitar, so it will put it in a similar ballpark as the Particle Accelerator, but the sweep still won't be exactly the same.

Quick note for my October batch people: if you haven't already added the 125B-top jack option and are planning to, Thursday night at 11:59 (Central Time) is your last chance to do so. November and December can still be changed, but I have to cut off October so I can actually start working on the enclosures.

Is the Slampegg the only bass pre without a Fender-style passive tonestack? I assume the Slampegg uses a James stack?

@Sushi Box FX

Is there anyway to modify the Lab Rat for extended bass range?

Just put in a Pre Order for November, I think it was, but would be interested if that is an option, and willing to pay a bit extra! :)

No worries, if not! I can see how that could create a whole lot of extra work!
