Because there are people who think bluesbreaker clones are actually Morning Glory clones :idk:

Also, weird trend (from my extremely limited and jaded analysis involving two pedal companies) for success when using circuits from the DIY community without giving origin credits and selling at a ridiculously high price.

Mr. Magic turned into "Prestige" because why not capitalize off of a star studded cast?

And surprise surprise, an Escobedo circuit... Now I'm wondering if their next collaboration is going to be with someone else who has ties to Cusack...

That list is definitely lacking. It seems they omitted all the pedals, where JHS didn't hide their intent to borrow from a pre-existing design.

Muffuletta (Muff)
Emperor (Arion SCH-1)
Unicorn (Uni-Vibe)

The article was published last year, so throw in the Bonsai and that's 4 more clones/workalikes that belong in the list.

I'd get one of these slim Emperors, if I could look at it without judging myself.

That list is also missing the Alpine, which is the Sky Pedals Cloud 9, though he did actually pay the dude for that, apparently.

After first seeing the pedal on Instagram I waited a day before coming on here just so I could get 2 pages of laughs. I can’t say anything funnier than what’s already been said. All I can do is laugh and laugh, look at some posts on IG from JHS dickriders then laugh some more

Does anyone else feel like there's almost no middle ground with JHS? Most people either hate them with a passion or love them. It's kind of funny. I've never seen a pedal company so openly bashed.


The comments on Instagram just keep getting better. People telling Josh to pay royalties and him saying that he doesn't have to because the pedals are no longer in production. hahaha. Pretty sure that's not how that works.

You can't copyright a circuit.

It's pretty shameless though.
