A lot of their pedals sound and look good, but I seem to remember some controversy.
Ring a bell?

Whatever you want of theirs, there is likely a very similar pedal by a less sketchy builder.

Yeah I love their Mini Foot Fuzz but I got it before I knew anything about all of their controversy. I sold it a while back and when I replace it, it will be with the devi ever pedal he ganked it from.

The fact that Switchfoot is what brought it to light is so fucking funny to me.

This.
Full disclosure - I never really got all the JHS hate. I'm not lining up to throw money at him, but there are a lot of folks that are basically cloning shit that don't get all sorts of grief about it. Was he charging a shitload of money for clones ala Alpha? Is there more to the story, or am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure his devi clone was like 2x the cost of the original. The whole using "JHS" and not being John Hornby Skewes, has rubbed some people the wrong way as well I'm sure.
