The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Grand Slampegg is still going to happen, that's on the list well above whatever weird 6SL7 experiments I come up with.

But I also had some thoughts to combine a couple of my ideas to change the scope of Grand Slampegg a little and kill a handful of metaphorical birds with one metaphorical stone.

And I am here for all of it! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
 
Any reports from new Nobelium owners out there yet? Anxiously awaiting a shipping notice on mine, and am just wondering if there are any out there in the wild yet.

There are currently five in stock left of Nathan's builds, and then several others have built them from PCBs, such as JohnK. Some have turned up in Talkbass classifieds. They are definitely out there.

I apologize for the delay, a lot of things came up at once and I fell behind my original projected schedule. I have most of the units finished and the remaining units mostly finished. I expect to be able to get all outstanding orders shipped tonight.

I ordered a product that existed only as an outline sketch on a website. After about a month, it is now sitting at my local post office. There isn’t much room for me to complain about the way you do things, IMO.
 
Arrived today.

It ain't a Nobel but just got my underground accelerator today. Hour playtest so far and it does exactly what I wanted it to; works as a nice pedalboard preamp that adds some life beyond what my solid state options can manage. Nice, clean, and chimey with an intact bottom end for guitar (3 o'clock on level and 9 o'clock on gain) and surprisingly I find that I like the flavor of its grit better on bass (level and gain at noon).
