The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

I'm just north of Richardson in Parker, work in Garland.

Are you going to check out this place

Yep as soon as I can.

Ok I know you’re off to see family, but are you anywhere near Richardson Texas?

Alas I am not, I'm in El Paso. I can see Mexico from here though, pretty sure good flan isn't hard to find.

It’s hot there.

This is true. Before moving to Chicago I lived in California in the Mojave desert, and it feels a lot like that.

Prototype evaluation - I still have some prototypes (namely Grand Slampegg

I love the Slampegg. Can you elaborate as to what the grand Slampegg prototype is all about? Adjustable HPF would be clutch, imho. I’ll start saving my tip money in the meantime!

The current Slampegg uses a 12AX7 tube, like the more modern Ampeg B15. Grand Slampegg uses a 6SL7 tube, like the vintage B15.

It’s a little more than normal this week.

It supposedly has the best Flan in Texas… Just Saying

Bella Flan

Close by me, will check

wait... what??? As someone in Fort Worth, Richardson wasn't on my bingo card for the best flan in Texas...

 

[Ralph Manak]

In LA this weekend for an art opening, and my daughter-figure reports excellent flan at El Cochinito, a Cuban restaurant in Silver Lake.

 

[One Two]

Hey guys, I'm not dead, but I'm in Texas. In case anyone was wondering.

Sounds like a Lyle Lovett song!

Not flan related…

anyone else had an issue with sushibox and pedals with charge pumps not playing nicely together?
It’s the charge pump pedals not the sushibox but I’ve got a Vong hp/looks filter - the IC speced 7660H runs at 120kHz
My Vong kit had a 7660S which instead is running at 35kHz - but I can hear audible stuff far lower than that.
I imagine it’s the IC but thought would ask if anyone else had come across similar

Egads, these modern problems. It's definitely too early today to have read that. More coffee, please.

Yes, and I believe Sushi Box pedals also use a charge pump. There is also another issue with Sushi pedals where the polarity protection on the power input causes an issue with introducing some ground noise. There is a fix for that, but your older pedal probably doesn't have that fix. I'm not sure if this is the actual cause of your issue and you might need to talk to @Sushi Box FX about it, but more info is available in this post: The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

While I wouldn’t want to distract you from your coffee and In my defence - I live in the U.K. so this was lunch break talkbass-chargepump time for me!

My pedals use a switched-mode power supply, which is a little different than a charge pump, but which still uses an oscillator. The oscillator operates well above the audio range (don't remember the frequency offhand, I'm still groggy, maybe 80kHz-ish?) but when superimposed over another high frequency signal there may be artifacts that appear in the audio range.

As mentioned your London Underground is old enough that it doesn't have the ground loop fix in, so that might also be worth looking at to reduce weirdness when it plays with other pedals.

Hi Team -
Finally got my More home and anchored. What a nice rich sound it adds to my board! Note: I use the Magellan as a preamp here, the Sadowsky is there purely as a backup (I used it exclusively for many years) and to use the Tuner Out. The Magellan sounds absolutely great, but even "More better" with the More. First rehearsal tonight. If Venus had come out much earlier, I would have considered that, but I had to get through the season! I feel lucky to have the More on there now, and it's red, which is awesome.
I'm running it off a Cioks DC7 at 9V. Would there be any benefit to run it at 12v?

 

[JBarz]

I’m curious - are most of ya’ll running your MORE around noon and/or as a master volume, or cranking it all the way up and reducing the gain elsewhere?

That More looks a beauty in red! Congrats. Got me gassing for another

Running 2 at the end of my chain. The first one is cranked full 100% then the last is used as a master volume going into my amps return.

I started by placing it after the compressor but before my Magallan Pre. I suppose I should try it after too for comparison.
