The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Nobelium and UA users... What's the diff ? If I have it ... both are based on the Fender / RCA tone stack. The Showman variant has passive mids. In that variant, 2-10-2 was approximate flat. The UA has way more low end on tap - a good thing in my book. So What does the Nobelium bring to the table ?

Nobelium is based on the Noble. Not a lot in common with a Fender preamp aside from the tonestack.

Asking for a friend -
what would be a good pedal to emulate an Entwistle-type sound - the Elementary?

He needs it for a gig where it isn't always on, for specific sounds on only specific songs.

Shameless impatient bump for some quick input to account for the subsequent LB enthusiasm after positing this.

I have both, both different and both lovely. Buy both and be the envy of all your bass playing friends

Entwistle used Hiwatt, so Elementary or Detective would both be safe bets for getting into that territory, depending on how much gain you want and whether or not you want two channels.

I mean... maybe? I think Entwistle's sound was about more than which amp he used, but he did indeed have a reputation for using Hiwatt stuff. So the Elementary is probably a good shout. I don't think it's meant to get overly gritty, even with the gain turned up, but I expect that would actually work well in this case.

EDIT: Ooh, Sushi Chef beat me to it!

Can you compare, contrast ? So far there are no Noble pre's anywhere near me to demo. I'm beyond curious with the Nobelium...

I’m an Entwistle fan with both an Elementary and a Detective (and a Reeves 225 HiWatt clone). I can tell you that the Elementary (and the Detective) will absolutely help you nail that Entwistle HiWatt tone. If you held a gun to my head and told me that I could only have one Sushi Pedal - or one overdrive - it would be the Elementary/Detective.

UA gets dirty NB doesn't.
NB has DI, UA doesn't.
NB has HPF. UA does not.
Their tone stacks sit differently relative to their respective gain stages. This will affect how the tone stacks react.

It's my understanding that Entwistle's sound was more about his physical technique.

Got the first handful finished up, I'm going to try to start shipping these out tonight. I have another nine units mostly finished, hoping to get those done today or tomorrow, which will put me slightly ahead of the preorders.

Also hoping to find time to put together a quick demo video for these, because they sound GOOD.

Stoked to get mine, any way I can reserve serial number 8? It's my favorite number.

Shoot me a PM with your order number, I'll see where you're at and what I can do.

I'm gassing for one of those. I know they aren't on the same planet, but I was eyeing a Barber Linden EQ pedal to run after my Edison. I'm sorely tempted to try one of these, I do love the Fender sound.

 

[Dr McBalders]

C'mon Bassdude Number 5 (or thereabouts)!! Getting excited now. Look forward to a sound sample too.

Seeing the talk of the LBA transformers, I'd love a pedal that was essentially a more with a selectable number of transformers to dial in the desired amount of transformer colouration.
At the moment I use a Hudson broadcast with the gain very low to get somewhere in that ballpark, but the combination of a more tube circuit and some transformers could be amazing.

Now aren't you glad I was so persistent in getting you to do this one?

Is there much difference between this and the prototype I have? I do prefer the smaller size.

 

[Btbp]

Thanks all, will pass on the feeback, and if anyone is planning to move their Elementary, I can put you guys in touch - he's on TB but inactive, pro player

I was hoping I could find some way to make my Nobelium builds stick out from the regular DIY ones, aside from the Unagi transformer and the separate XLR volume. I want something aesthetic that jumps out. I'm sure I'll think of something.

You son of a bit...

Also, sometimes when putting my logo on something feels like it would detract fron the look but I still want people to know I made it, I put this happy little guy on there.
