Quite some time ago (almost a year, WTF) I shared my adventures with rattle-can finishing my Sushi Box Particle Accelerator enclosure in the "What's on your Workbench?" thread. Despite the inevitable imperfections, it turned out pretty well, and I was just waiting to find the time and motivation...

Last Monday's holiday here in Canada gave me an excuse to finally put together my Nobelium, after a looooooooong time of the parts just sitting next to me on the desk. This is my third @vigilante398 project, and they never cease to be enjoyable builds that give kick-ass results. Here she is...

[Copy-paste of intro blurb from the last time I did this:] I've been at the pedal building game for quite some time now, and I feel like I've come a huge way from my dad helping me solder up my very first Big Muff (love you, Dad) wherein I overpaid for every component, didn't understand the...

The newest kid on my block is another lovely Darkglass clone from Aion, this time the Binary fuzz, based on the Duality Fuzz Engine. I really like my Maelstrom, so I was excited to give this one a try: It took me a while to settle on an aesthetic for this build, and I went with a bit of a...

Recently I needed some of those breadboard adapters for the plastic-shaft 9mm pots from Madbean, but felt silly paying the shipping cost just for those. I had been wanting to try the VFE Mini-Mu so I grabbed a kit at the same time and managed to build and box it yesterday: I was very lucky to...

My pile of unfinished or partially-finished Sushi Boxes got a little smaller this week! Earlier this summer I posted my Space Heater build, which was my first try at a full-voltage tube pedal and turned out amazingly well, with the full fancy enclosure and UV-printed graphics treatment. Also in...

I know that people love this preamp, and have heard from more than one bass player that it is an excellent addition to one's signal chain, so I thought I would take a crack at one as well. This PCB was one of those sitting on my to-do list waiting for graphics inspiration, and it finally hit me...

@vigilante398 have you (or anyone else) ever tried the 12BH7 in any of the Sushi Boxes? I'd never heard of this before just now and it seems compatible with the 12A_7 series so I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts.

A few weeks ago I posted a little teaser of the enclosure that would house this project, and I got around to buttoning it up yesterday. This pedal is, of course, a riff on the legendary Darkglass Microtubes B3K, but with some elements lifted from its sister, the Vintage Microtubes. The B3K has...

I've been at the pedal building game for quite some time now, and I feel like I've come a huge way from my dad helping me solder up my very first Big Muff (love you, Dad) wherein I overpaid for every component, didn't understand the concept of positive ground and built it with 2N5087s, and...

~Two months later~ So long overdue that the project is discontinued, but better late than never, right??? I'd known about Sushi Box for a while, because I spend a lot of time on TalkBass and the bass community is obviously a big fan of Nathan's work. Learning that he offered DIY PCBs was a...
