I picked up my game, #268, last night after the event at Cointaker. I was originally in on a CE but with the allocation issues and not having an idea on the production order and an anticipated delivery date I made a deal to take home one of the show games. The game was obviously one of the first hundred produced and has a 3 different date stamps on it.
I was told I made someone very happy and since I’m a causal fan , I actually preferred the LE package because I had never seen the banned album with the “bad” robot.
With an external subwoofer connected the LE sounds amazing. Also some amazing aftermarket pieces will also be coming out for the lockdown bar, shooter rod and topper that make me confident that I made a good decision. I’m sure the CE value will ascend in value but a few months early is worth a premium in my book with the state of the country heading into an uncertain fall/ flu season. My Rick and Morty was on the line when Spooky shut down for a few months, that was torture. That reminds me I unlocked the 22nd song , Patience tonight , I think by locking 6 balls on the upper level which reminds me a lot of TSPP.

Quoted from Thot:
What kind of subwoofer have you add and how?

It’s just a Polk PSW10 that I had hooked up to my Metallica. They are around $100 and I recommend them, I have about 5 of them hooked up to games like Maiden, GB, and JP.

I was just testing things out so I attached alligator clips to a speaker wire and tapped into the connections on the sub in the cabinet and fished the cable out of the box of the cabinet through the wire mesh. I was curiously looking in the backbox and how the audio was fed and with my limited knowledge I believe I saw a 3.5 mm line out that feed the speakers in the backbox and then feed into another board. I would think you could use a 3.5 mm splitter to feed an audio bar but I purely speculating and didn’t want to mess anything up. I’ll wait until someone with more knowledge weighs in. I can tell you with the simple addition of the powered sub I was very pleased with the sound. I had it up around 32 and one of the 1,000+ figures I have on the walls in my basement took a fall.
I’ll share some pictures of the interior of the backbox later.

After realizing that the extra lights in the CE were all under cabinet or behind the cabinet lights the one extra that bothered me not getting in the LE was the extra sound bar. It is a simple add on to the LE with a 3.5mm headphone splitter cable and adding a soundbar with a 3.5mm input. Many soundbar a have way more features and digital assistants that aren’t needed. I picked “Bose TV speaker” for $250 because Bose is good at delivering clear clean audio which although the stock system sounds great , at louder volumes the callouts get distorted. The Bose sound bar had an bass out for their subwoofer. After buying both pieces and hooking them up I believe all the low frequency is routed out of the sound that I patched into which makes sense since it feeds the small cab speakers. I returned the Bose sub and went with a Polk PSW 108 and tapped right off the sub in the cabinet. All the this is above and beyond what anyone needs but I thought I’d share for those that want to turn up the volume a bit louder.
Yes it’s a great game, Rick and Morty is a great game, Turtles is a great game, Avengers is a also great game. 2020 has sucked but Pinball has been a bright light in this shitty year. Can we not tear down other titles, this one stands on its own. G n R is unique and fun but it isn’t going to devalue other games. Variety is key and this game is the most approachable game I’ve ever seen. A novice will enjoy it immensely and great players will most likely be able to play an entire album or more but JJP has finely made a game that’s FUN.

I have a set of black mirror blades coming next.
Can’t wait to see the modders produce with toppers, action button and shooter rod creations.

Quoted from delt31:
What do the black boxes right by the shooter lane do? They say not in this lifetime.....

Jack shit, no they cover a diverter

I tried to use the Bluetooth and it was glitchy. It actually reset the entire game once and when you switch to Bluetooth headphones, sound bar, etc it stops signal to the machine speakers.

The soundbar is not as noticeable as the external subwoofer and I’m not confident that most would find value in it. Especially if your not playing at higher volumes, it helps more with clarity of the callouts and differentiates all the pinball sounds better from the music. That taps off the 3.5mm splitter that I installed in the top right corner of the back box.
The external sub adds more depth and is instantly noticed at any volume. I just tap right onto the sub in the cab with some alligator clips. A guy sells a $10 cord if you want to make it really easy.

I’ll say this again, the stock speakers do sound great, this isn’t necessary. It’s to take the sound from a 8.5 out of 10 to a 9.5.

I got a set of black mirror blades installed with only a few minor cuts. It’s tight and isn’t the easiest thing to do but I highly recommend. They are pricey but in this hobby what isn’t. I had a curious helper that needed removed from the project but I am very happy with the results.
