Haters gonna hate: BOSS collaborates with JHS

[Iommic Pope]

On the horizon: JHS HM2 that "fixes" the circuit to be perfect for transparent white metal toanz.

For definitions of "white metal", refer to Underoath.
Then refer to why they stopped using that term.

Which would be fine, if not for the fact that:

BOSS R&D: We have the most resources of any pedal company in the world. Our assets include beloved circuits and algorithms that people around the world miss and would like to see again. We also have the potential to make brand new devices no one has imagined yet.
BOSS MARKETING: Cram a boring ripoff into one of our oldest designs that we literally just reissued.
BOSS R&D: Yes sir, disappearing into our own assholes, sir.

Why does that dude have a "zombie Bob Ross" logo on that video thumbnail?

This is cool, might mean boss teams up with more exiting pedal companies in future.

I'd by a HM-2/Pharaoh in a heartbeat!

buy, baby, buy!

(Do you think Mark'd work with Boss?)

I also don't follow the equally irrational hate down the rabbit holes it always leads.

What do you find irrational about not supporting a company that supports radically homophobic institutions?

People don't like JHS because they're a very typical kind of taking famous stock pedals, doing really common mods that are available all over the place online (forums, diy pcb suppliers, etc.), then put a lot of effort into the marketing and branding aspect, plus traded heavily on P&W connections. Then, anytime any of that blew back on the owner, he would just duck, dodge, dive and dodge around every criticism with excuses about how modded circuits aren't clones, but clones aren't illegal anyway and JHS is a company, not him personally, even though he's the owner operator and puts himself out there as the face of the company at every opportunity. It's one of those smell test situations. He never really does anything horrendous, everything is technically legal, not egregiously immoral in any way that's direct and obvious. A lot of what the company is and the owner does rubs people the wrong way, he's aware of it and takes every advantage of every edge those things give him, while excusing every criticism and frequently letting his supporters defend him while "keeping out of the drama" himself.

Anyone can feel free to call me out on any of that. It's just an observation, I don't really have a strong personal opinion about JHS. I find them kind of pedestrian and underwhelming. They just strike me as a brand, more than a builder.
