Gearheads, rejoice! JHS Pedals, the innovative force behind some of the most sought-after stompboxes, has once again democratized legendary tone with the unveiling of its latest “build your own” pedal kit: the Notadümblë. Following the runaway success of the Notaklön, this new kit offers guitarists the chance to experience the coveted two-channel magic of a Dumble amplifier – a sound often associated with price tags soaring into the hundreds of thousands of dollars – for an incredibly accessible $119.
Notadümblë DIY Pedal Kit
The Notadümblë empowers players to easily assemble their own Dumble-style overdrive pedal at home, with no soldering required.
This user-friendly approach expands JHS Pedals’ popular DIY family, providing a fun and educational way to achieve boutique-level tones without needing expert electronics skills.
Box It Later
This ingenious pedal draws inspiration from the revered Dumble amplifier lineage, specifically capturing two distinct sonic flavors.
The clean channel meticulously recreates the essence of Dumble’s ultra-rare “A Box Later” pedal – a non-amp creation so elusive that JHS founder Josh Scott had to borrow an original from none other than guitar icon John Mayer to reverse-engineer its magic.
The resulting “Box It Later” has been a staple on Mayer’s pedalboards for its compact size and ability to deliver everything from pristine, chime-like cleans to powerful overdrive and boost capabilities.
Violin Lead Tone
Switching to the red channel unlocks the iconic “Dumble sustaining violin lead tone,” a sound synonymous with guitar legends like Carlos Santana, Joe Bonamassa, and Eric Johnson. As demonstrated in JHS’s promotional materials, this channel delivers rich, high-gain tones perfect for soaring solos and expressive melodies.
Priced just slightly above its popular predecessor, the Notaklön, the Notadümblë’s dual-channel versatility offers exceptional value for players seeking to explore the Dumble sonic universe.
The pedal features intuitive controls: Input and Output for the clean channel, and Volume, EQ, and Drive for the overdrive channel. Standard 1/4″ jacks and a 9V power supply ensure seamless integration into any pedalboard setup.
Simple DIY
True to JHS’s commitment to accessibility, the Notadümblë kit comes with straightforward instructions, promising a quick and enjoyable assembly process.
With the Notaklön build time clocking in under 30 minutes, guitarists can expect a similarly swift journey to Dumble-esque bliss.
“This kit is for anyone who wants a particularly fabled amp-overdrive and the experience of easily building their own pedal,” enthuses JHS Pedals. “Go ahead – save yourself a few hundred thousand dollars and experience the magic for yourself!“
