  • Don’t get me wrong I own and love jhs pedals…BUT Tark Audio via the Tark 144-already did this and did it more accurately.

  • I modded some cassette decks from the 80's into guitar amps, just cheap, plastic cassette decks, sounds just like this pedal, cost me $20 in parts and 20 minutes of drillingscrewssoldering.

  • I'd be more interested in a pedal emulating the Sony MDM-X4 channel strip as well as the ATRAC data compression.

  • What happened to you 2? In a few months you both got more than 1or 2 years older ????‍❄???????? Or even more???

  • Let's be honest. It sounds crap. Now whether you like the crap sound or not is entirely up to you.

  • I love Josh; he’s truly a good man, and I hope he gets to feeling better. To me, his dry humor is brilliant, he’s a great musician, and he’s a fine ‘pedal builder’.All that said, this idea is ridiculous. But, please get well soon, Josh — we need you!

  • It's great when Lee is trying to be seriouse and Pete is just there doing what he does and having fun paying his guitar. Then the times when both are just having fun are crazy sometimes. Never really seen them both on th eseriouse side. Don't change a thing.

  • 249 for a pedal that sounds like beginner recording crap? JHS, a well known BIG guitar pedal brand, copying device from 20+ years ago, marketing a "vintage vibe" sound without having mods or modern features?
    Is JHS trying to make me look STUPID? Paying loads of cash for old crap sound.

    Reply
  • I have to wonder what Mkgee thinks of this rush to emulate his sound. The fad-capitalizing aspect of this release makes me roll my eyes. I do love the Colour Box and the Mid-Fi "Demo Tape Fuzz" which I think sounds better than this thing.

    Reply
  • I never heard of this MkGee guy until JHS released the pedal. I was shopping around for a good 4 track tape recorder for other reasons when the price hike happened and I never knew why, I just assumed nostalgia, now I know why.

    Reply
  • Reminds me of Buckethead. I wonder if he used the Portastudio on any of his albums?

    Reply
  • Sounds like ass… But Pete makes everything sound okay. I can think of a million other dry sounding DI preamps that at least have a pleasant warmth to them, and then there's this.
