The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Love that compact board. The Slampegg really intrigues me.. How does it stack up to the ampeg clones that have recently come out (origin, ampegg) Would love to see some comparison video! Being in the UK i tend to look out for some good Sushi deals over here and do hope to try one, although i did snag Nathan's Space Heater on garage sale :D

I have not compared the Slampegg to the Origin or the Ampeg, I'm sure they are good enough in their own right. All I can say is that the Slampegg sounds great on its own merit and it does include a real tube (valve) as did the original B15 preamp, as the Origin and Ampeg do not. I was able to experiment with the Slampegg and find the model of tube that sounded best to my ears (12AU7) which gives me the ability to regulate the gain stage of the pedal to suit my needs. The Slampegg nails the classic Ampeg sound and vibe as I remember it from my past experience. From a price standpoint the Slampegg offers a tremendous value and bang for the buck. Its construction is first class and customer support is superb. If you can get one, I think you will be quite satisfied with it... good luck.

Thanks for the informative response! I'd imagine Sushi would blow them out the water.. would love to try a Slampegg.
 
Mrs. Sushi is out with friends, so me and the kids made a post office run. It's only 1/3 mile to get there, so I let my 4 y.o. drive.

I hope one (or more) of those boxes is an SVT II going off to a tester!
Nope, he actually came by in person and picked it up yesterday, along with Grand Slampegg.

The contents are 3x Venus X, 1x More, and 1x Finally.
 
Looks like you need to rotate them tires more often, or she is a lead foot.
It's actually rear wheel drive, so I'm not even sure how the front tires got so chewed up. The back will surely shred soon enough, I upgraded it to run on Ryobi 18V battery packs so it has a lot more torque than the stock 12V battery. It's still just a toy, but now it's a toy that will do 8mph.
