We Built the JHS NotaDumble – Is It Actually Any Good?

JHS - NotaDumble | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 25

We hopped on the hype train and put together two JHS NotaDumbles to see what this IKEA-style DIY overdrive is really all about. Spoiler: It sounds surprisingly good—and it’s one of the easiest kits we’ve ever assembled.

In this episode, Derek and Joey dive deep into the NotaDumble, compare it to real Dumble amps they've played, and talk about what it gets right, what it doesn't quite capture, and why the clean boost might be the real star here. We also talk about the brilliance of the NotaKlon, JHS’s marketing magic, and the eternal tone quest for the perfect feel—not just sound.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a $120 pedal kit can hang with the big dogs, this one’s for you.
