I only watched to the first half hour... too much "trust your ear, not what's inside". There's no magic in components but, as Mr. Neunaber said, the quality is a factor too (regarding either construction, components and reliability or algorithms)

Also, I could be wrong or maybe it's my grumpy side but, in my opinion, Josh (JHS) should not speak that easy about "not worrying about the insides of a pedal" or about "cloning".

Thanks to Brian Wampler for the mention. We are great indeed  ;D (that was a kudos from one Brian to another Brian?)

I finally watched it complete. I would have liked to listen Brian Neunaber talk a little more... and to hear more things about the diy world.

Very nice of Brian Wampler to mention the DIY community. He seems always seems like a down to earth guy.

I think it would be nice one day, that DIY gets the recognition it deserves.... ....far as bringing new idea or concepts to the table that is....

And then have that sort of table where you'd have the instigators and dominant figures of DIY sitting on a panel... i think i'd travel to listen at those guys...

You'll need a bigger table. Maybe a round one. With green felt on top  ;D

Totally agree.  I was quite humbled when he mentioned me in his 5 DIY Mods article in Premier Guitar.  Would actually indicate that he might watch my channel.  Staying in touch with the DIY world even if only slightly is a refreshing change from commercial pedal builders that try to ignore or even deny their DIY Past.

Right!!! That's their job, other wise you're just cloning someone else's clone...

I skipped around a bit, but the parts I saw were kind of interesting.

I looked at it from a different angle as I will be on a panel like this next month (not pedal related).  Never done it before so I am a bit curious (and maybe a touch nervous).

The part where Brian Wampler was talking about digital pedals, and how it's a LOT harder to clone something with firmware...

I couldn't help but notice Josh nodding along ;)

I think quite simply, we should all change our name to Brian. Basically if you're into pedals and called Brian you seem to be a fairly cool and balanced dude...

Someone should have asked Josh if he has ever heard any circuits from ROG  8)

Did anybody else notice that Josh, when asked how he got into the pedal business, looks over at Wampler and points and says "Pretty much his story."  ;D

Start watching at about 9:00 for that gem.

I was also hoping that Josh would have mentionned when talking about the klone that he was at first cloning it on Sunking boards....  not good for credibilty, but for the honesty side it's a plus. rofl

One thing that i'll give him, is the view that he have of the whole buisness and i think that is what made them successfull, he have a good foreseeing and that worth a lot. And i think i would also be frustrated to receive some cloned pedals of my offerings for warranty repairs.

I'm pretty much over giving JHS any flack. They more or less changed course a couple of years ago as far as designing their own boards so don't bother about it any longer.

That i'd agree... but in all his comments about DIY, he was litteraly explaining how he started his own buisness, using DIY layouts and the day after having a website and be a boutique company.... and he did'nt just do that with MB layouts.... it's just the fact of being a tad hypocrit in public like that, that irritated me.

Sorry if i used one of your layout as an exemple, was'nt meaning to stir up some shit.

Prolly karma's why he gets clones in for repair.

My hat is off to the man for his success and demonstration of unbridled capitalism, no doubt. I view him/his company a lot like I view Lovepedal: they are the Cobra Kai Dojo of the boutique pedal world. No mercy and lots of winning.  ;D
