Not much of a consolation but I ordered mine December 16th hoping I can have it for the Christmas or New Year's holiday I actually received it yesterday so I guess it's a Memorial Day present, only I've never served in the army and I'm still alive, go figure! 🤔
this is the most fun concept for a build-it-yourself pedal i've ever seen. i love the little snap-off wrenches, the ikea lookalike packaging, and of course, the all-important tube of GOOP.
Video was well narrated and made assembly easy. Reading instructions was unnecessary. My unit had caps on the sockets that I removed before the ribbon cable was plugged in. Also I accidentally spun (raising) the nut at the base of the footswitch so I had to tighten (lower) nut to align the jack nuts. This kit was fun and pure marketing genius. Thanks for reissuing your Klon clone.
Bravo for all the cleverness that went into this kit - the idea, the electronic design, the product packaging and graphic design, everything. You folks at JHS are impressive!
This is, without a doubt, the most fun I’ve had with a pedal and I haven’t even plugged it in yet. I’m still waiting for the “GOOP” to dry. Nicely done JHS team!
Don't need this, don't care, joined the wait-list anyhow. Way too brilliant to pass over. REALLY hoping this is the first of an entire series of simple DIY pedals. Definitely need some fuzz and modulation to mate with it. Seriously I could not love this concept and execution more. Hat's off to the JHS team. I'm in marketing, and this blew me away.
I can't stop laughing and smiling - what a brilliant idea. Josh is a complete genius - choosing a subject that is associated with snake oil, fairy dust and unicorns (actually centaurs). Turning the myth into an IKEA style DIY packaged product for everyone to enjoy is absolutely hilarious. Best thing is : it sounds like a $6000 Klon. 😎
Yet it is hardly a kit. it is more like simple assembly. there is nothing to 'build' really. just assemble into the enclosure.... a finishing step not a construction step.
Got mine today. Built it according to this tutorial ….. did it in about 15 minutes. Looks and sounds great. This is the best and most creative marketing campaign of 2023 !
Brilliant idea and execution. I hope you guys are patting yourselves on the back for this one. Not only is it a stellar design but all your history with the Klon really makes this a great tongue-in-cheek.
Another super video on this pedal. Just perfect. If there are other classic, discontinued pedals from the annals of JHS history, you might consider this same solder-free build paradigm as a way of getting some of those pedals you keep getting questions about reissued but without the massive overload on your staff. Well done, gang!
My kids don't play guitar (yet?), but I am 100% going to buy them a NOTAKLON for the holidays just so they can go through the build! This is just the best.
Notaklon #14323 is assembled and ready for duty!!! Only my rig is at the venue. Just means I'm going up early to integrate this beauty into my board. This makes JHS number 3 on my board as permanent residents. Thank you guys so very very much!!!!!!!
I've never been so excited about a pedal before! Super approachable and from what I've heard sounds so good. Love the feeling of ownership you have with it too. I would seriously buy a few of these types of kits from JHS if they continued making them!
I think it is totally awesome that you guys come out with this product. I can’t wait to get it for Christmas and build it. You guys are one of my favorite. No I take that back you guys are my favorite pedal building company much love and oh yeah seeing you guys his kids was just adorable. My 11 year old daughter thought it was awesome.
A super faithful Klon clone one can assemble themselves that costs 99$? I am getting one! You should make a series of those pedals Josh! It is the best idea ever! We love you!
The do it yourself Notaklon was the perfect way to approach a JHS take on the Klon; this could be the start of something great! Now if only you guys could do a "build your own photocell Univibe" kit 😏
Bought a stewmac ghost drive kit, which I haven't even started yet and was thinking I should have bought 2. Well when I saw this it was a no brainer. With an electronics background I always loved building electronics projects., whether from scratch or kits!
I bought two because I just want to support a fantastic team of people who continue to make the community fun and interesting.... and so my 6yo can do one along side me.
I watched Rhett build his yesterday and now I just watched your tutorial because JHS is just so entertaining. ( I also watched the video with the kids) I'd love to see how people finish the cases. Maybe some sort of contest ???
I'm #2114. I was going to write it on the back panel as a serial number of sorts. With 3k sold at $99 each, Josh can buy himself a nice used Camry for Xmas now. Happy Holidays!
Just finished putting mine together. I love this idea! Can't wait to try it out after the majik has transferred from the diodes to the goop overnight Edit- seriously awesome design with the wrenches...and really the thought behind the whole project. Great job all 🤙🤙🤙
no tengo un NOTAKLÖN aún pero de verdad disfruté ver el video/// I do not have a NOTACLÖN yet but i really enjoyed to see this video. greetings from México!
Any tips on doing a custom paint job? Can I spray paint over the enclosure or should I sand it first? Also would be a fun idea to sell accessories. Like custom color enclosures with sticker graphics :P
Just slapped my Blackout version together, and I hafta say…hats off. Fun bit of final assembly and the pedal sounds damned good. I have another fancy pants clone with “magic” diodes that sounds meh. This pedal sounds shockingly better. I “get” the whole schtick now. Also, Josh isn’t wrong about this circuit being a fine clean boost but more fun actually used as an OD. Good work, JHS.
Not a breach of copyright until you build it? Not a Warm Audio product until you build it? - did they go too far? Seventy percent says no one cares. Good thing they did that survey.
Pretty cool. It lets the less DIY inclined people still get to build something and get the DIY feeling except at the end they'll get to play the thing instead of spending time troubleshooting hahah.
Sorry - random comment: would love to see "seasonal" pedal board collections from Josh's collection. EG a pedalboard with only wintery names. For Valentine's Day, only Love-related names. Halloween -- monster and spooky names? Etc. :)
I dont even have one of these, why am I here
And I watched the entire thing.
@@deaconkonc4720I watched it twice…and yep! Don’t own one (yet).
This is the fourth video of these that I’ve watched! I don’t even own one…
Because you’re a bot.

I VERY heavily implied that my family should get me this for the holidays.

As an electronics designer: those PCB wrenches are so clever! :D
Goes to show how cheap FR4 has become if they can waste valuable board real estate with such discardable items.
As a non-electronics designer those little wrenches are pretty clever
As a mechanical design engineer those little wrenches are pretty clever
Can we expect more “Build Yourself” kits?
I love the idea!
@@desert_fishermanno, 1 pedal -10 metal zones!😂
Fuzz!
@@discobunny4eva759 Fox tone machine!
Would totally love a whole line of DIY pedals!
Please look at what DIY means. This os not DIY. It's final montage at factory's one of last stages of production. Unqualified labor there. Cheap ones.
this is the most fun concept for a build-it-yourself pedal i've ever seen. i love the little snap-off wrenches, the ikea lookalike packaging, and of course, the all-important tube of GOOP.
It would have been extra funny if they'd called it GOÖP

They're good at ripping off other people's work and passing it off to their cult base.

Yea, me too. I really don’t need one, and yet here I am waiting for the February shipment 😂

This is a master class in packaging and design and execution
The ikea looking centaur in the instruction booklet sold me. I literally couldn’t order it fast enough bc I love everything about this so much

Building mine “Right Now!” - Love this!
Got mine today! Now to wait 24 hours for the secret tone to be built in! My son and I had fun building it. Thank you!
the fact that it's so easy to put together AND solderless sold me on this
My kids don't play guitar (yet?), but I am 100% going to buy them a NOTAKLON for the holidays just so they can go through the build! This is just the best.

I finally got mine today. I plugged it in and I've been playing through it for hours. Best 99 bucks I ever spent.
You guys are killing it! Awesome concept. I need to order one.
I've never been so excited about a pedal before! Super approachable and from what I've heard sounds so good. Love the feeling of ownership you have with it too. I would seriously buy a few of these types of kits from JHS if they continued making them!

Well, there you go! I'm now ready to go work at JHS.
You guys are my favourite company ever.
I hope IKEA don’t sue. And if they do, I hope you win. And if you don’t, I hope you will regret nothing.
“Make sure you don’t miss the one on the back of the jack board, it’s pretty sneaky.”
This gave me asmr tingle wingles

well done
The do it yourself Notaklon was the perfect way to approach a JHS take on the Klon; this could be the start of something great! Now if only you guys could do a "build your own photocell Univibe" kit 😏
This is going to be the most watched pedal video on Christmas Day of all time.
Bought a stewmac ghost drive kit, which I haven't even started yet and was thinking I should have bought 2. Well when I saw this it was a no brainer. With an electronics background I always loved building electronics projects., whether from scratch or kits!
No disrespect to whoever did the V.O. but a Swedish accent would have been the cherry on top of the icing on the cake. Great work everyone!
This is absolutely amazing! Nice job!
I just finished putting my kit together, it sounds great, and it was fun! Thank you so much!
I bought two because I just want to support a fantastic team of people who continue to make the community fun and interesting.... and so my 6yo can do one along side me.
Love, love, love this!!!! I've ordered one myself. It'll be fun assembling the pedal. Plus, it sounds great!!
I already have a Klon copy but I want to get one just so I can build it after painting it in some crazy psychedelic pattern.
Genius. Genius. I love notaklon. It sold out in no time. I’m def getting one.
Bro this is just amazing
That's so genius, I can't comprehend how genius this idea is! JHS you're too good to be true!❤
as someone who broke a boost pedal kit while building it (there wasn't even an LED or wall power supply.) this is the kind of kit for me!
I watched Rhett build his yesterday and now I just watched your tutorial because JHS is just so entertaining. ( I also watched the video with the kids) I'd love to see how people finish the cases. Maybe some sort of contest ???
Got mine!! After 3000 sold though. Waiting for january
While I doubt it, was there anything extra special about the first 3k?
I'm #2114. I was going to write it on the back panel as a serial number of sorts. With 3k sold at $99 each, Josh can buy himself a nice used Camry for Xmas now. Happy Holidays!
Mine will be arriving Tuesday! Finally!
I love the IKEA theme! Those PCB wrenches such a great idea too.
Absolutely BRILLIANT. On all levels.
Brilliant. Good luck with it!
I love the IKEA design pedal case.
Ordered today! Can't wait
Got mine today, put it together in 15 minutes now back to the Hoof GP
Just finished putting mine together. I love this idea! Can't wait to try it out after the majik has transferred from the diodes to the goop overnight
Edit- seriously awesome design with the wrenches...and really the thought behind the whole project. Great job all 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks so much!!!!
This. Is. Really. Cool. PS Love that IKEA Centaur guy on the manual page :D
Oh JHS ! You know what? With that 3 serie black & white design, you should make a "Pimp your Notaklôn" contest !
Awesome! As a pedal builder myself, I’m like, “I want that wrench!”
As a kid, I hated the car models that required glue, and loved the snap together models. This is like being a kid again 😊
This is spectacular marketing!
Great kit. I was done in like 15 minutes.
May be for the v.2 you can add a 9v plug for a 9v battery
This is a great idea! Now I think I NEED one!

Just got it yesterday!!! Thanksgiving weekend build...🎸🍺🥧👀😴
Those PCB-wrenches are a cool idea
You did it!! You made a DIY Klon kit!! Awesome
Not a breach of copyright until you build it?
Not a Warm Audio product until you build it? - did they go too far?
Seventy percent says no one cares. Good thing they did that survey.
since the sticker says "Built in Kansas City USA" should you still apply it if you build your Notaklön somewhere else
no. applying that sticker if you don't live in kansas city is ILLEGAL and you will be arrested.
Man That is so Clever!
Working the pre-order as we speak!😎👍
This looks like pure fun. I'm buying one "just because"
Josh is a GENIUS!
One part isn't clear clear to me. The four screws on the back. Am I suppose to not over-tighten those also?
Genius, just... genius !
The IKEA likeness is hilarious! 😁
gonna ask for one for christmas
I did it everybody I built my notaklon, and now I play guitar like michael jordan! 😊
So cool 😎 just something everyone needs to do. Thanks
Can’t wait for all the boutique companies to start shipping all their pedals like this to save on COGS
Pretty cool. It lets the less DIY inclined people still get to build something and get the DIY feeling except at the end they'll get to play the thing instead of spending time troubleshooting hahah.
I love everything about this.
This is so dang fun!
Yes! I received my Notaklon!
This is brilliant
I hope you plan on making a whole lot more of these since the first batch sold out in just a few hours.
I'm waiting for the g2 Cornish version!!!...Nice Job !!!:)
Just got my shipping notification!
Josh! What are your thoughts on BYOC? Are they legit?
Will it be available in UK retailers? I'm not fancy with 35 Pound shipping so I'll wait if it will become available in UK soon
Is the goop NOS or just generic goop? I have to know this😏
That "do not over tighten" is scary.
I think the secret to the circuit in this pedal is family! Plus you get 2 ultra-light weight, thin line pedal wrenches to boot.
I’m watching this in preparation for when they are re-stocked in a couple months
If you already build it, and want to change the design of the enclosure, can you take out all the electronics to not damage them?
A Klon that everyone can buy! A special day indeed.
Now I wonder: what does the goop do? Is it just to cover the diodes?
Will these be available on Amazon anytime soon? 👀
Sorry - random comment: would love to see "seasonal" pedal board collections from Josh's collection.
EG a pedalboard with only wintery names.
For Valentine's Day, only Love-related names.
Halloween -- monster and spooky names?
Etc. :)
Mine came today. Woohoo!!
Throw the "instructions manual" right in the trash. Best advice ever! Good products don't need instructions... ;-)
Is the magic goop available standalone? I'm pretty sure tons of people want to goop up all their pedals to improve them magically.
Got mine on Xmas day 😊
Does “goop on the circuit” include Chick-fil-a sauce or Cane’s sauce?
