My local shop got one in and sold it the same day. My buddy who manages the place tried it out and informed me that it is, in fact, hella legit. He's a pedal head, too, and knows his shit.

Sigh.

The only thing to note is that this company owned by the cult like Christian organization called IHOP. It's actually a local company where I live. I was on the ground floor when that "church" was opened and now the place has turned into a regular nut house. I mean it was a nuthouse before, but not like this. They have security guards...at a church...with their own cars? Why?

Anyway, as I understand it JHS sounds good, I just wouldn't buy from them as I don't want to support their commune.

Woah. So um, yeah, let's make our own? Neve pre with a three band eq, maybe with switchable resonance?

I almost started this thread last week. Everything about this pedal is something I want right now, but I'd feel dirty giving them my money. Any alternatives?

That PCB looks legit, and I'd like to try this, but dat price though

Turns out the production model is white? The grey ones look so much cooler...

This thing is so expensive. And I'm like why not just get any old overdrive? What are the advantages of this over having an OD with similar functionality and then a mixer/DI box? For still less $$$

As long as there are rad dudes behind companies like Dr. Scientist and SS/BS, JHS will never get a penny out of me.

Okay so after watching demos, this thing seems pretty neat.
But still, JHS.
