The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

nathan,

how about a finally and a more in one box... or has this been asked? if so, sorry!
I think it's probably been mentioned. Not likely to happen partially because I don't really like doing combo builds in general because what works for one person's board might not work for another, and also because as soon as you go to 3 tubes in one box you lose the ability to power it from a single port on a Cioks DC7. So for flexibility of placement on a board as well as for powering I prefer keeping the two separate.

And, won't Furthermore get you 3/4's of the way there? 2 tubes + Lightningboy transformer.
 
Another plea.......just in case there's someone out there who has a Dream Catcher (post Nov/22) who might wanna trade it for other pedals....I have 2 UAs (SMD and matte black HW), Robot Butterfly, Glass Butterfly (prismatic cosmos), a bunch of other pedal-related stuff, tubes, a little cash, a player to be named later & a bag of pucks.......

LOL-apologies for the hockey analogy....the pro season (which is admittedly faaaar too long) only ended a coupla weeks ago, draft was yesterday........and I am already in withdrawal....

Yeah we've got hockey down here, but I'm not really a sports guy. If I did like sports hockey is probably the most interesting one for me because it kinda makes the most sense. Then probably basketball. Baseball seems cool, but the games last forever and I get bored. Football seems more like three hours of commercials with occasional 2 minute sports breaks. The only sport I seem to watch regularly is marching band.

<sweating> Play it cool, play it cool... Mike @watt is not only on TalkBass but apparently uses Sushi Box pedals... NO big deal, just try to act normal everyone, we're all just bass players... Just me?
 
bassslinger og,

actually, that's my version of the _blackbird_ original... tony 19 (going back to the dils) was a huge hero to me, I wanted to grow up to be him!

Dude serendipity I was literally just playing Big Train for my wife today! The live one from the Jon Stewart show
 
Furthermore will be an instabuy for me when it's released. Will replace my Broughton Messenger.

Also very interested in the SVT.
I keep saying I'm going to send SBVT II out for external review, and I keep forgetting to actually do it. I've been back from vacation for 4 days now, I should probably get back to work. I'll ping the gentleman I was planning to send it to and see when he can check it out.

Another plea.......just in case there's someone out there who has a Dream Catcher (post Nov/22) who might wanna trade it for other pedals....I have 2 UAs (SMD and matte black HW), Robot Butterfly, Glass Butterfly (prismatic cosmos), a bunch of other pedal-related stuff, tubes, a little cash, a player to be named later & a bag of pucks.......
I have the latest Dreamcatcher circuit boards in hand and started soldering up the first unit for test, should be able to get to it in the next day or two. The only functional difference is a separate internal attenuation trimpot for each channel so you can balance them however you want. I have also stretched the board upwards to fill previously empty space so I could spread the two rows of pots out, making them a little easier for fat fingers.

There's another less obvious change that's super secret and will be disclosed at a later date. This change was also made to the June 14 2023 revision of Detective, SMD Elementary, and SMD Finally.

Is the Underground Accelerator functionally and sonically(?) identical to the Blue channel of the Dreamcatcher?

Yes it is, according to its' creator, the Sushi Master himself ;)
Correct, it is the exact same circuit minus the tonestack bypass switch.
