JHS - Sweet Tea

Greetings from Stockholm, land of pirates!

And speaking of pirates, here is a JHS pedal for you. The "Sweet Tea":
http://www.jhspedals.com/JHS_Sweet_Tea.html

The 808 side looks to be taken straight from Tonepad's "Griton" layout. I made an overlay image to show the exactness of the similarity:

The other side is maybe a Bluesbreaker? I could not discover a layout at tonepad or GGG that matches the other side.

Here are the photos from this pedal, which is dated manufactured in 2010:

The right side is a CrunchBox, I'm guessing. Layout looks familiar

Build quality leaves a lot to be desired, too.

Looks like dimebug's layout... I'm not sure, but, reminds me a lot. But I'm pretty sure it is really a Crunch Box

these things are so shoddy, i have a hard time believe JHS has designed that analog delay I keep seeing prototype boards of. Analog Delay with Tap Tempo they say, not an trivial task.

Electrical tape. That's very interesting.

Is it one of your older projects?

Geez! Why $299!?? Is all that extra wire?

I don't think so. I might check on my other 'puter which has some of the old DIYLC stuff I did. But, I kinda doubt it.

Brian, it definitely is one of yours. It's this one from the Crunch Box thread:

The only difference is the trimpot... maybe changed to a pot... compare

Yep, that appears to be the same layout.

Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that. I tend to call people by real names once I've corresponded with them for a while.

@Duckman: yep, he just moved the trimpot to an external.

Man that big board looks paper thin!

you see how the enclosure has ".... copper" written on the inside? they have all their powder coating done by PPP.

yup. Some people like to use it because you can cut with scissors. Not me, I want a thick board.

If you take that meaning, please don't cut mine with scissors
