A SOLDERLESS DIY KIT!
We’re proud to present the NOTAKLÖN DIY Overdrive kit, which utilizes the unique “Shamrock” modification that JHS performed on the *Klon KTR for several years. With easy-to-understand instructions (no soldering required), this kit is for anyone who wants a particularly mythical overdrive and the experience of easily building their own pedal. We’ve even included "goop" so that you can conceal the "magical" diodes.

It’s NOTAKLÖN 'til you build it.

CONTROLS
Output - Controls the overall volume of the pedal. Left is less, right is more.
Treble – Controls the amount of treble boost or cut. Noon is neutral.
Gain – Controls the amount of overdrive. Fully left is clean, which gives the ability to add up to +16dB of clean boost in conjunction with the output. Fully right is max overdrive. As the control is turned clockwise, there is an increase in the mid-frequency range.
Shamrock Mod Switch – Increases the overall gain +4dB for unmatched boost abilities with an increase in mid frequencies and an additional stage of hard-edge clipping.

JACKS
Input - 1/4” jack on the top right side of the pedal.

Output - 1/4” jack on the top left side of the pedal. 

POWER  – Requires 9V DC negative center power and consumes 30mA. Do not use more than 9V DC as the pedal internally converts 9V to 18V. If you do, you will void your warranty.

*THE KLON KTR IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK. THE JHS PEDALS NOTAKLÖN IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH OR ENDORSED BY KLON.

NOTAKLÖN

Das JHS Pedals Lucky Cat Delay, Pink ist eine digitale Neuauflage des allerersten geliebten delay Pedals von JHS. Mit den 5 einfachen Bedienelementen bietet die Lucky Cat Delay eine große Auswahl an kristallklaren delay Möglichkeiten. Die Regler beinhalten Time for the delay length, Mix for the volume, Ratio for the tap tempo, Repeats reichen von eins bis unendlich und Darken arbeitet als EQ-Ton control. Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, zwischen zwei verschiedenen Modulationseinstellungen zu wählen, abhängig von Ihrem Stil. Die Lucky Cat Delay ist mit einem Dip-Schalter ausgestattet, mit dem Sie zwischen folgenden Optionen wählen können Vintage Tape; für einen stärker getriebenen, warmen und komprimierten delay, oder Digital Clean; der einen sauberen, klaren und unverfälschten delay Effekt bietet. Das JHS Lucky Cat Pedal ist in einem kräftigen Rosa finish mit silbernen Knöpfen oder einem Stealth blackfinish mit passenden black Bedienelementen erhältlich.

The Lucky Cat delay has basic controls consisting of Time, Mix, Ratio, Repeats, Darken (EQ), and a Modulation toggle. Time is a manual control for the length of the repeats up to 1000ms. Mix controls the volume of the repeats, from fully clean signal to fully wet. Ratio controls the subdivision of the tap tempo with options of quarter note, dotted eighth note, eighth note, and triplets. Repeats controls the amount of repeats you will hear, from one repeat to infinite. The Lucky Cat will not do analog delay oscillation, but will do a musical digital oscillation when the repeats are maxed out and you play with the Time control. The Darken control works as an EQ for the repeats only. When fully clockwise the tone of the delay is the fully digital, unaffected sound. As you turn counter-clockwise the delay will darken in tone giving you an array of delay tones at your fingertips

Lucky Cat 

The Fuzz Face was released in 1966 by Dallas Electronics Ltd. and is one of the most iconic fuzz pedals ever made. This British fuzz is recognized instantly by its "Smiley Face" enclosure that was developed after Mr. Arbiter used the circular base of a microphone stand as inspiration. It is one of the first things we think of when we hear "fuzz pedal" because it lived at the feet of the great Jimi Hendrix. The Fuzz Face was released just a few months after the Sola Sound "Tonebender" 1.5 hit the market, and upon investigation, it is an almost identical circuit. The original Fuzz Face manual even said that it was a "battery-powered TONE-BENDING unit," clearly showing its inspiration. Though the circuit is much like the Tonebender MK1.5, the tone is very different. It possesses a very full and thick fuzz sound with roaring low-end frequencies. I can't help but think of how this made the three-piece Jimi Hendrix Experience sound larger than life. The most amazing feature of this fuzz is its ability to change into something magical as you roll your guitar volume down. Many of Hendrix, as well as players like Eric Johnson's clean tones, are in fact, the Fuzz Face with the fuzz control maxed, but the guitar volume turned way down. This setting results in an unreal and almost mythical light overdrive that you have to feel and hear to understand. As with most classic fuzz pedals, it loves a dirty amp or overdrive afterward in the signal path. Staying true to the original, I used high-grade carbon composition resistors, oversized capacitors, and two germanium transistors that I hand-matched to the circuit.

Each small batch of Fuzzes will use different transistors as it is challenging to find reliable sources of these devices in large quantities. The circuit uses vintage positive ground voltage, so do not daisy chain your power with other pedals. Inside the pedal is a battery snap or use any isolated power supply with a standard polarity power cable like your other pedals as I have wired it internally to work that way. The Fuzz is identical to the original except that I adjusted the taper of the pots to feel more intuitive. I also added a single power supply filter capacitor to help with noise and adjusted one resistor value for more volume. The switching is true-bypass. Each pedal in this batch is built-in identical form, but because of parts tolerances and the slight variance in the transistors, they will all be a bit different while still being the same. Be sure to always have this pedal first in your signal chain; the guitar must be plugged into its input due to the impedance it requires on its input, no exceptions.
