Sushi Box FX Introduces the Mayday Tube Bass Preamp Pedal

Sushi Box FX has introduced the Mayday, a clean tube preamp pedal with a flexible active EQ. It features a 12AU7 tube and a custom Unagi Magnetics 4305 DI transformer.
“The 12AU7 running at high plate voltage brings unparalleled warmth and depth to your tone, while the four-band active EQ helps you dial in whatever sound you need for any style of music,” the company writes. “Mayday has both a preamp-affected unbalanced 1/4″ output and a transformer-coupled balanced XLR D.I. output for flexibility of routing your signals onstage or in the studio.”
