Sushi Box Finally V3 £250 Bath

[Jakester]

Not sure how to price this, but here goes:

 

I have a Sushi Box Finally V3 DI for sale. The snag - it is slightly defective. 

 

I ordered this on 5 February 2025 and paid about £220 or so (US$275). It arrived a few weeks later and I paid £50.26 in import duty and VAT etc to Mr Royal Mail.

It sounds amazing, does exactly what I wanted it to do. It gives a lovely warm fatness to the tone - since I started using it, I've had a lot of compliments from non-bassists about the sound. 

 

It is a tube DI using a 12AU7 valve, and includes a variable switchable HPF from 30 - 120Hz.  

 

There is an issue with the HPF circuit on this particular pedal, which means when it's in use, it becomes microphonic, in the same way a defective valve does. At first I thought it was the valve, but after testing it became clear it was an issue with the HPF.

 

That meant it didn't work for me, as I had it on a board because I need to do lots of effects and input changing, and every time I pressed anything on the board, it thumped through the amp etc. However, if you're using it in a situation where it's not on a pedalboard, or it's an 'always on' pedal sat on your amp , or in the studio, you won't notice it. 

 

You can also switch off the HPF, and use it just as a valve DI. It's possible to switch out the valve for a more aggressive one, giving you saturated overdrive tones if wanted. 

 

So - it works, it's just a bit noisy if you touch the chassis when the HPF is engaged. 

 

I've had a warranty replacement that works. 

 

Has Dual-lock on the bottom. 

 

I'll start at £250 posted but happy to listen to offers.

Shame, they are great DI pedals but sadly the HPF is important to tame excess bass, variable as you say, why did you keep it ? I would have sent it back for a replacement Finally V3....hope it worked out for you in the end.....

Sorry, missed this reply.

 

The HPF works fine. It just makes the pedal microphonic, so when touched/tapped etc it's noisy. 

 

This is just sitting here not being used, so happy to listen to offers, trades etc etc

I'm not really following this, you've had a warranty replacement?  Is that what's for sale, or is it the faulty one? (which I would have assumed to have gone back for the replacement??)

Seems pretty clear in the ad to me?

 

It was a pretty involved story though. This is a faulty one. The first one I received was faulty. I sent the first one back, got another one. That second one was faulty too, so Nathan sent a third one, but in the meantime the orange sh*tgibbon stuck the US tariffs on, so Nathan said don’t bother sending the second one back. 
 

It functions fine but the chassis is microphonic.

Sounds like it could be a grounding issue?

No idea. I was told by the guy that made it that it’s a fault in the HPF circuit, but he didn’t elaborate (and neither did I expect him to!).
