The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Found my sound with these... 2UA, 2 Slampegg, 1 More...
My small board sits on a Quilter, my MORE board sits on a Berg Forte HP.
Much heft with both setups.

Perhaps you could reverse the clock phasing in the glass butterfly like behringer have? :D:D

"The Moog MF-106TC Analog Time Compressor, right, was announced April 1st, 2009, but has never been released. According to the company, the effect was the result of a happy accident:

“We accidentally reversed the clock phasing in the time generation on our MF-104Z Analog Delay, and discovered that it can actually work in reverse, compressing the time stream instead of expanding it. Much to our amazement and delight we began hearing sounds up to 1000 milliseconds before we played them,” said Amos Gaynes, Moog Temporal Engineer.

Gaynes said that the Analog Time Compressor circuit on the MF-106TC can eliminate digital latency in real time, or sound like you’re playing faster than you really are. The Analog Time Compressor’s unique Slap-Forward delay effect sounds even better than Slap-Back, according to Gaynes.

“The MF-106TC has hundreds of unique applications,” said Moog Marketing Manager Chris Stack. “Used on the Pitch Preview output of our new Etherwave Plus Theremin, you not only hear your note before the audience does; you actually hear it before you play it.”"

Brought my new board to a gig last night; was playing out of the headlining band's bass rig (Aguilar GS 212 and a Markbass Little Marcus nice rig!) and talked with the sound engineer, who luckily I've worked with in the past, about the Finally and UA combo. Even though we were the opener he couldn't resist hearing my DI'd sound as opposed to what was already setup. I ended up plugging into the FX return after trying the Markbass and it was instantly where I wanted my tone to be. Engineer said he didn't touch anything in regards to eq etc.. and I had multiple folks compliment the tone. Needless to say this combo is a keeper

I just received my first Sushi Box today, a handwired Finally DI in fractured cherry. Holy Smokes! Just testing it as a pre into my practice amp it’s absolutely stellar with a vintage long plate Amperex Bugle Boy.

My gig tonight is on acoustic guitar so I’ll use it as a DI for the Fishman pickup.View attachment 5018117

Maybe today announce the "More or Less", an extraordinary innovation in soundscaping technology. A single control pedal allowing the user to add, or, and this is the innovative part, reduce volume. All volume reduction gets channeled back to your electric provider for a discount on your utility bill, and volume increases use only renewable energy, somehow, it's complicated, and innovative.

Do you or anyone else have an opinion on a More vs a Westinghouse/Edison? I need a tube, somewhere in my chain...

I found the Westinghouse to be more subtle than the More.

Hint: I've got two Mores and one Westinghouse (the WH is not seeing a lot of action these days).

The Edison was my first foray into tube pedals before I discovered Sushi Box. I absolutely love the Edison, I use it in front of my Whirlwind OC compressor into an EBS Microbass III preamp. The Edison has a volume control and a boost switch if you want more level and it uses an EF86 tube. It is a great sounding and versatile pedal. I’ve let several other bass players hear it and they agree that it’s a great pedal. It’s extremely well made too. Hope this helps.

More is the best clean boost I've used.
I use the WH to make a micro pog sound like a guitar for my 80s punk band.
It sounds good for bass, very round, but more is just more. Hope this helps! Let me know about any other questions!

See that Whirlwind IMP2 DI hiding under the coils?
I decided to run it instead of my Finally today... Sooo much better. :woot:
As Mr. Sushi Box suggested last year, SOLID STATE RULES!!! Time to move from ye olde tubes.

Too busy having fun playing I forgot to take a picture of the IMP2 in action, had to recycle an old photo from when the IMP2 was rejected. :sorry:

PM incoming for Señor @Sushi Box FX !

I've decided I'm retiring from bass, and am seeing if we can adjust the input/output impedances to tailor the Particle Accelerator and Slampegg Bee Pre for electric kalimba. The F2B circuit is truly omnicapable, and there's also a bass kalimba that would benefit from the Slampegg's baxandall circuit EQ.

Serious?

I had to look up what an electric Kalimba was.

If you're not pulling our chains, then God's speed to you sir! :thumbsup:

Anyone out there with a JCE v2 able to make some sound clips? I wanna hear one so bad after the recent talks.

Also that are the dimensions on something like that again? Even if I got one I’m wondering if it would even fit my board…

We need a term for sushi specific GAS…
