First $100,000 guitar pedal or Bust? JHS

Interesting/fun story. But like he said in the video, most folks won't notice a difference in the clean channel and certainly have never played a Dumble to use as a reference. Since all the circuit design, layout and build have been done, if it were me, I would just keep putting them out as is. They're popular pedals and have been selling well from what I've seen. OTOH, this could be a way to generate more buzz about the Notadumble and have two versions, and die-hard pedal geeks will want to have both. Kinda like the silver and gold Klons. :shrug:

Edit: for those who didn't make it through the video, remaining stock goes on sale today, 5/23/25 at 4pm Central. They're listed at $119. Kinda tempting....

Yeah, it's still a dumble circuit, just not as advertised, should be simple to correct the literature and move on. I want one, but sorta have to wait until they go to Thomann like the Notaklon eventually did.

$120, which would come down to $108 after applying the 10% coupon you'll get if you sign up for texts. I suspect they will sell out fast today. If you want to get one, best be on the JHS site right at 4pm central.
