The Sushi Box FX Finally v2 With Bass In Mind Edition is a tube D.I. pedal with a built-in preamp and a balanced XLR output. Sushi Box FX describes Finally v2 as the evolution of the original Finally tube D.I.: it takes your unbalanced guitar input and feeds it through a high-voltage tube preamp, then out through a high-end DI transformer into a balanced XLR output1. The With Bass In Mind edition is a special version released in cooperation with Philip Mann, described by the maker as an award-winning bassist, and it comes stock with a 12AU7 tube1.
The With Bass In Mind edition is listed as Archived on the Sushi Box FX site, so it is no longer part of the current lineup. The maker also lists a Finally v3 as a separate product.
Controls and outputs
The pedal keeps its control set simple. It has independent Gain and Level controls, so you can dial in the right amount of saturation or volume1. The 1/4" output on top is switchable between dry passthrough from the input or affected output from the preamp, which means you can send an unaffected signal to your amp while the XLR carries the tube preamp's output to a desk or interface1.
| Control / output | What it does |
|---|---|
| Gain | Sets the amount of saturation from the tube preamp1 |
| Level | Sets the output volume1 |
| 1/4" output switch | Chooses dry passthrough from the input or affected output from the preamp1 |
| Balanced XLR output | Carries the preamp signal through the DI transformer1 |
| High-pass filter switch | Switchable, fixed frequency, rolls off -6dB per octave starting at 90Hz1 |
The high-pass filter
Finally v2 adds a fixed-frequency switchable high-pass filter, which rolls off -6dB per octave starting at 90Hz1. Because it is switchable, a bass player can trim sub-bass content when the situation calls for it and switch it out when the full low end is wanted.
Power requirements
Sushi Box FX states that, as a tube pedal, the Finally v2 requires a high amount of current to operate correctly. The maker recommends a 9-12VDC power supply capable of delivering at least 400mA, and warns that using less than this can damage the power supply and/or the pedal1. In practice that rules out running it from a low-current output on a shared supply, so it is worth checking what your power brick can deliver before adding it to a board.

Questions
What tube comes in the Finally v2 With Bass In Mind Edition?
The With Bass In Mind edition comes stock with a 12AU7 tube, according to Sushi Box FX. The pedal is a tube D.I. design, running the signal through a high-voltage tube preamp before it reaches the output transformer, so the stock tube is central to how it sounds and how much current it draws.
What does the high-pass filter on the Finally v2 do?
Finally v2 adds a fixed-frequency switchable high-pass filter, which rolls off -6dB per octave starting at 90Hz. Being switchable, you can engage it when you want to trim low end, for example to tighten up a bass signal for a particular room or recording, and switch it out when you want the full low end.
Can the 1/4" output pass the dry signal?
Yes. The 1/4" output on top can be switched between dry passthrough from the input or affected output from the preamp, so you can send an unaffected signal to your amp while the balanced XLR output carries the tube preamp's sound to the desk or interface.
Is the Finally v2 With Bass In Mind Edition still available?
The product page for the Finally v2 With Bass In Mind Edition is listed as Archived on the Sushi Box FX site as of October 2026, which indicates the special edition is no longer part of the current lineup.
Who was the With Bass In Mind edition made with?
Sushi Box FX released the With Bass In Mind special edition Finally v2 in cooperation with Philip Mann, described by the maker as an award-winning bassist. The edition is aimed at bass players, which is reflected in the stock 12AU7 tube and the high-pass filter.
Why does a tube pedal like the Finally v2 need so much current?
Sushi Box FX states that, as a tube pedal, the Finally v2 requires a high amount of current to operate correctly, because it runs a real tube preamp at high voltage. The maker recommends a 9-12VDC power supply capable of delivering at least 400mA, and warns that using less can damage the power supply and/or the pedal.
