COMPLETE JHS Notaklon

 
I mean PCB Mania offer a bunch of boards that already have most components (mostly resistors and some caps) pre-soldered. Not a huge step to get basically everything presoldered so customers just have to solder pots and do the offboard wiring... But if I learned anything from looking at troubleshooting threads, it's that especially offboard wiring can be quite error-prone.
 
A - Wait I thought JHS and Bill Finnegan were tight? Like didn't Finnegan ask JHS to stop building Klones way back in the day, and he did? Not that I'm mad about someone taking the piss, just seems inconsistent with what I'd known about their history.

B - So it's all SMD, probably means BAT46 instead of magical germanium?
 
That's what the goop is for - it's constipationally charged on every third inter-recurring ion to rectify the null-spec of the silicon lattice to give the end user an experience they won't ever forget
yer gonna blow an o-ring constipationally charging yer brown ion rectifier like that

JHS use SMD components, and Schottkys in place of germaniums. I asked them once during a stream and Josh confirmed this.

I have to say that I see nothing wrong with it, as I do exactly the same. Most people won’t be able to distinguish between schottkys and germaniums in a blind test.

Oh 110%, I’m actually building a Klone for a friend *specifically* with schottkys because his previous favorite Klone was the stock EHX Soul Food.

Mostly just found it interesting (and potentially a sign that mayhaps the pedal world is finally moving past the idea of “magical” parts)

The way Josh told it, he told Bill, as long as Klons are being made, Josh wouldn’t touch them. Klons are no longer being made, again, so Josh is making them,
