New JHS Kit Pedal Release Monday

[Dave Lewis]

“we put two very different circuits in the same box and provided a switch so you could go up and back…but get this, we didn’t use a traditional foot switch for this function. Instead we used a slider switch so you have to bend over to change circuits. In other unrelated news, we would like to thank the American Chiropractic Association for their generous sponsorship.”

It’s like Ryan said ,
How much more would it have added to the price if they had done it?
I’m happy with the price to the UK because it’s under the threshold for any added tax or duty .
I think Josh could have realistically added the foot switch for not much more money but He wants to see people modding it

Is Josh a multimillionaire already?

Probably, but not from selling budget DIY kits in batches of a thousand.

Until next Monday.

NOTADÜMBLË RESTOCK​

Probably, but not from selling budget DIY kits in batches of a thousand.

Given a profit margin of 50% (not too unlikely), selling 1000 units a week would end up with around 1/4 million profit a year.
I know, he possibly won't sell that much in a year, then theres business expenses, taxes and what not - still a pretty lucrative thing.

I think he said parts for about 15,000 so this won't go on for a year even if there is demand. I am sure he will do OK on this kit but he isn't going to be retiring off of it.

Also, gross profit or net profit? I would guess gross profit on these is quite a bit higher than 50% and net a good bit lower.

He also said "we'll see after that". Same thing as with the Notaklon, which is now available through the big retailers worldwide. If there's enough demand, he'd be downright stupid not to stock things up.

 

[Dave Lewis]

I’m going to build mine after lunch

 

[Dave Lewis]

It’s built.
Will put it through it’s paces later.

I ordered one.
I assembled it.

NOTAWORTHIT.

Actually that's too harsh. I've had no experience with D-style pedals until this week. I ordered the LPD Bedlum with some extra cash I made that was unexpected. The Bedlum through my Victory Duchess v40 sounded very good (obligatory caveat of the honeymoon period).

The LPD also costs 2x what the JHS does so you would expect it to be very good. I wish the preamp boost button had a volume adjustment but that's my only early observation.

The next day the notadumble arrived. It sounds good/OK but I'm nota-overwhelmed. I want to try the green channel into other pedals to experiment. The red channel seems to have some high-end harshness. I'll have to play with the presence trim pot to see if I can find the sweet spot.

I also have the vox silk drive which sounds excellent to me used as a preamp into a tube amp loop. It seems to need a boost in front of it to match the volume of my also excellent mystic edge. I've heard others say that also.

I've had great tones with the Direct Drive by Barber for classic rock stuff. I may have to save up for the Barber 5-watt BUSS but it's all a rabbit hole at some point.

Some of my favorite guitar tones are the dumbly Larry Carlton and Robben Ford ones. And although I've played with a few "names" during my time and held my own maybe I need that talent pedal along with the unobtanium amp.

Still having fun on the journey.

After at last spending a hour with it yesterday I can say it was well worth it.
It’s a good fun pedal that does what it says on the box
