currently my songwriting guitar of choice! I like the way you can press your fingers hard into the frets to make it go out of tune when playing chords. You can make stuff sound really urgent by gradually just bending the whole chord out of tune as you play.
We will at some point have a very small number of kits available on the store, but it will almost certainly be the last few we do. We have enough parts left over to do a few more but once those are gone I think we're done! If you join the mailing list on our site we'll email out a little while before they go live.
@@indifferentengine hell yeah! Have long wanted one, both as a pedal and a recording tool to run specific tracks into to accentuate my halfass Drive Like Jehu weirdness, but I missed the last round. I’ll have to keep an eye out, thanks!
Thank you so much for doing this. I'm definitely thinking about ordering the kit, but I have never built anything like this. I have a very basic understanding of schematics, circuits and components, a soldering station that I've never learnt to use...and a lot of patience. Would that be enough or is it really for people with more making experience?
I would say that if you've never built anything previously that starting with a cheap fuzz pedal kit is a good first thing to try, there's loads of them available online. This kit is quite big and expensive, so I would feel weird about encouraging you to grab one if you aren't sure you stand a good chance of completing it. It also involves not just soldering but de-soldering, which requires a little bit more practice with the iron. But we'll probably be doing more runs of kits in the future so you could always try some simpler builds to get started and then come back and grab a Janky kit another time?
How much would you charge to sell me one prebuilt & assembled i am absolutely terrible with electronics/wiring/soldering & i have pretty bad hand tremors/shakiness which makes trying myself 10 times harder!!!...
I have a Jr, we used it quite a bit on our last EP. It's nice - much more "commercial" in that it solves the issues around swapping loops by using cartridges and is built like a tank. My main issue with it is that it's too "clean", like they almost did too good of a job with it. I now have both the Trex and the Janky available and I find myself using the Janky more as it has more obvious tape-y character to it that suits our noise rock/weido art punk style better. The replicator still gets some use though, it's a nice bit of kit. But for live I tend to use the Janky, a Boss DD-7 and an Ibanez mini analogue echo.
