OVERDRIVE- JHS PEDALS Fumble ___NEW ___DUMBLE-in-a-Box

JHS PEDALS
FUMBLE
$90.00 USD
JHS as a marketing gimmick made a DIY version of a 
Dumble called Not a Dumble.
This is simply the clean boost of that pedal put in a small 
enclosure. Good as 99% of us have no time or patience or indeed skills with building kits. The layout is simply Input 
and Output. The voice is hardwired into the circuit. 
     CONCLUSION __
The sound of the 'Clean' boost in the kit model 
is identical & it is generally agreed it is damn
impressive as a booster even if all else is not  
exactly a Dumble. 
Apparently the kit was based from the wrong
circuit but loved just the same. The collective
mess gave name to the unit. Hence the name
Fumble. 
GROANER? 
Confusion reigns supreme!!! Soon to come 
is a pedal using the correct schematic.
Will it be called the Grumble? I expect many
of you are already starting to crumble? 
 
According to my anonymous 
Proof Reader 😇 this is not 
a Klon as I posted earlier.   (see below)
The good news is I have what it takes 
to work for JHS.  😳dah...

Demon FX make the Z-Drive not just a clone but a part for part circuit built with the 
same parts as the first Dumble-in-a Box The Hermida Zen Drive.  I paid $30. The 'Z' 
is perhaps the ultimate bargain of any pedal

  1. This 'un isn't a Klone though, it's a Dumble circuit.
    It's called Fumble because they (JHS) 'fumbled' the boost in their Notadumble pedal by putting the wrong D circuit in it and pulled the Notadumble off the market.
    The Notadumble V.2 is out soon; ahead of that they have released the bit that they put in the V.1 by mistake as the Fumble.
    In other words, it's not only not a Klone, it's also not a Notaklon.
