GR7G5TER Posted Friday at 12:09 Share Posted Friday at 12:09 Looks like the wait is nearly over,excepting these to be on sale end of this month! Gorgeous looking pedal and is the top of my wish list (if anyone is feeling generous🤣). I have no affiliation, altough I'm a big fan of Nathan's pedals. Some blurb from taken the Sushi Box FX Secret Society so save you all trawling through 1200 pots! Slampegg Bee Pre (current): based on the Ampeg B-15N preamp with a 12AX7 tube. Simple 1/4" input and 1/4" output with a footswitch to bypass. I left the circuit as close to the original as possible, and with a 12AX7 or 12AT7 installed it can get a decent amount of overdrive. Grand Slampegg: Also based on the Ampeg B-15N preamp but this time with a 6SL7 tube. I have modified the circuit on this one to stay clean no matter what, but it allows you get the B-15N clean tone LOUD which seems to be what most B-15 players want. I have added a D.I. XLR output so this can be your rig-in-a-box, kept the two-band EQ and also added a fixed frequency HPF like you see in Neptunium and Finally v2. Grand Slampegg has the 1/4" dry pass switch so you can run the preamp out the XLR and send your dry signal through the 1/4" to an amplifier, like Finally. But in this revision I've also managed to squeeze in an XLR source switch like I have in Venus Z. So you can choose whether you want preamp output from the XLR or if you just want it to act as a passive D.I. box. This would allow you to send the preamp signal through the 1/4" output to a power amp and a clean D.I. signal to FOH for example. 'it will not be able to break up by itself. Granted running another pedal into it and pushing the front end will still allow the 6SL7 to break up, but by itself it will just be clean. Grand Slampegg: - 6SL7 tube - 100% clean, doesn't have a gain control - XLR output and 1/4" output - fixed frequency switchable HPF (yup, I throw it in pedals willy-nilly now) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted Friday at 14:52 Share Posted Friday at 14:52 That looks great... Wonder how much it will cost? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Venus Z is $350 bucks and has similar features, so I'm guessing in that ball park somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted Saturday at 14:42 Share Posted Saturday at 14:42 These went on sale today for $400. I was very tempted to order one but really need a bypass footswitch which this doesn't have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted Saturday at 18:23 Share Posted Saturday at 18:23 Well after chatting with Nathan of Sushi Box I have gone ahead and ordered one. I will be able to make do with using the bypass toggle switch when needed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
