Depends what you’re looking at - Boss, TC Electronics, etc are inexpensive. EQD, EHX, Keeley, Wampler, etc more so. Boutique - sky is the limit. You been to Analog Man - yowsers!

Have you ever designed one? I have. First, to get a circuit that does the thing at all the ranges with all the inputs is a pretty good trick. Then making that circuit bulletproof. Then just the stomp switch itself is a $30 part. Proper enclosure, branding, etc. and easily into $100 minimum regardless what the pedal does.

@debianlinux yes! Reddit has a good sub where people share the pedals they make

@debianlinux I have never designed one, so I am totally ignorant to the facets of pedal production. I just am building my pedalboard out now and have had to slow down due to how much it can add up. I have been watching a bunch of JHS vids to try and learn though, Josh seems like a real honest guy.

@Lord Diaper Baby So Far, I have three TC electronics pedals (3rd Dimension Chorus, Compressor, Looper) and a Wampler Tumnus (Go Indy!). I hope to afford the Boss Dimension C at some point, but they are so expensive! JHS has a pedal that used to be the Ryan Adams VCR that is the same price and may find its way on to my pedalboard in the next year. Also, that King Of Tone 😍😍

@highqualityrecords you should check out diff gear pages. Evidently Josh/JHS are a controversial topic. Accusations of stealing designs or something. I don’t have a real opinion but something I’ve run across. I have an EHX Soul Food w the JHS meat+3 mod and it’s great FWIW

I’ve heard the Wampler Tumnus is a good Klone. The Soul Food is same idea of transparent overdrive. I have the Wampler Velvet Fuzz and it’s a nice fuzz. Been looking at the Ego Compressor from them

@Lord Diaper Baby thanks for the tip on the JHS controversy. I had no clue. I will take a look.

Yea it’s more of an aside. I just know some on gear pages absolutely hate him. But the hate is seldom directed at the actual pedals

@Lord Diaper Baby The Tumnus is fantastic. I hope to either pair it with a Nobels ODR-1 or a ProCat Rat, for the classic greasy rock tone lol.

Stacking dirt is nice. I’ve got a TS808-HW that I like to pair w the Soul Food. I’ve got the Wampler and the EHX Big Muff Op-Amp as well but I hardly like that much crunch. I tend to like the more transparent or break-up gains

Which are you buying?

@scotthilk So Far, I have three TC electronics pedals (3rd Dimension Chorus, Compressor, Looper) and a Wampler Tumnus. The boutique pedals, as well as some Boss pedals, are just a little pricey for me as my first set of pedals. I will slowly upgrade. Anything you would recommend?
