Solid deals for new JHS USA made pedals at used prices. You can sit around and debate if they've ever had a better sale on any of these and hope to save another couple of bucks someday OR you can buy now and use them while someone else sits around hoping a better deal stumbles their way. ;-)
Thank you for playing!

As far as the designs go, 95% of pedals designs are clones or near clones of prior pedal designs. So if the Double Barrel is just a stacked Morning Glory followed by a Tube Screamer, that's exactly what it is, and we know this because Josh Scott says that's what it is. They don't hide the design history of their pedals. JHS would be the first to acknowledge that a $19 Behrenger or Amoon/Mooer/Nux/AmazonBasics pedal does the same thing as many JHS pedals, but sometimes with compromised component choices, especially in the housing, switches and quality control.
And while I love the DS1, my first pedal which I've been using off an on since the 1980s, it isn't even remotely accurate to say that the DS1 an asymmetrical hard clipping pre-amp/op-amp distortion is the same or 'better' than the Paul Gilbert FET based distortion with a midrange shaping preamp. They are both distortions, but there are drawbacks to the DS1, too little midrange, noise with high gain, and it isn't the best voice for some amps. The DS1 does sound good at low-mid gain in front of an all tube Marshall half stack, though.
JHS is founded and run by some real pedal nerds and has all of this undeserved hate. Are they popular with the praise and worship world? Yes, but so are PRS, Fender, Wampler, Boss Wazacraft, Analogman and Line6 Helix. They have good gear because they have money for good gear. Praise and Worship players tend to have day jobs and don't spend very much on booze.
…. And for the record I own one JHS pedal what I got yesterday, that Neve clone ColorBox. I was disappointed for 30 minutes, then I read the manual. It sounds spectacular, once you figure out how to tame the insane amount of gain.

Looks like this deal is ending today at most places. Curious to know what your thoughts are on the Color Box V2 if you received yours yet.
Opposite experience from what my friends and I had. We though Behringer sucked, we tried their analog delay and thought it was great.... sounded good with analog synths too.
Now I have their fuzz, a drive pedal and the delay pedal as knock around stuff to keep in the gig bag. Behringer seems worth the money to me.
They are average pedals, in both build quality, and audio quality.
They are not made with high end audio parts, by ANY stretch.
They are very popular with the "Praise&Worship" rock/metal bands as well as teenagers who have bands who play at churches.
They said OK, but not great, just OK.
The Neve preamp is meh, and its hard to find a real use for.
Josh Scott is more of a marketing guy, than a guy people in the pedal community "respect." He's really big on slapping someone's name on a pedal "Ryan Adam's, Paul Gilbert etc." To sell you on it, until you get it and find out your old DS-1 did the same thing, only better, for 29 bucks.
I don't think these pedals are worth 85 bucks personally, but to each their own.
Anyone looking to find out more about JHS and Josh Scott could Google "JHS Devi Ever" or "JHS Clones Pedals" or a million other things and find out what his company is about. Not good stuff.
Also, the resale value is basically, nothing, so if you buy these, expect to own it forever.
He started off modding other manufacture pedals. Also like every other pedal maker such as Wampler, Earthquake, Keeley, etc., even the sort after Klon is based on another circuit. .
FWIW I don't own a single JHS pedal, I do build my own. I have no affiliation with JHS either.
I do have a few pedals based on a few JHS Pedals.
If you're not a fan of JHS pedals because you don't like the sound of them and feel that build quality is average that's your opinion, but to say he just re-brands other pedals to JHS that is false information. Basing his circuit on another manufacture circuit that is a true statement.

I really need to play with this some more and to try it on a vocal microphone, bass and analog synth just to run it through it's paces.

Seriously though, what sounds great into one rig might sound awful in another rig. Plus, I'm kinda spoiled about delays because I've got a Helix, and before that had a Digitech GSP2101 and both have some really crystal clear delays and echo settings. Just so you know I'm not a total delay snob, I have been using a super cheapie "Mighty Sound" M5 OEM Chinese Delay I got at guitar center for a dozen bucks used. It is just a perfect repeat with echo, feedback, and time controls. It isn't bad, but all it does is to repeat the sound flawlessly, and to me that's kinda what I want.
I do NOT work for JHS, and I'm in NO way affiliated with them. I play guitar. I like gear. I really like high quality gear and vintage sounds. Mike Fuller (fulltone), Brian Wampler (wampler pedals), Josh Scott (jhs pedals), they all make great stuff and they -- and many others like them -- respect each other's work, support each other, and speak highly of one another. And, they ALL make pedals based on classic circuits with their own tweaks/mods. They, and many other pedal makers and professional musicians seem to be at odds with your manufactured narrative. Why is that?
Sorry, had to point that out for those that might otherwise buy into the hate-hype.
Peace!

Most pedal company sell pedal styles people are familiar with. All sell a mid boosted green od pedal, etc. You just have to add a knob and then you have the most transparent mid humped scooped tube like marshallesqe pedal ever
I'm sure he's overly concerned what you think of him.
