  The Amazon pedals are too fancy for me. I’m waiting for the Behringer clones of the Amazon pedals.

  I'm a dad with a single income household and I could never justify even a hundred on a pedal, but I can rationalize spending 20-50 on a pedal for myself for a special thing, which is the pedals I have.  If I didn't have those options, I wouldn't have any pedals.

  "education doesn't take sides". this was SUPER clear when i realized you showed 99% not JHS pedals on the JHS show. impartial is definitely the word i'd use. it's the reason you are the best at this. no question.

  pedals like this are so important to the guitar industry on brazil. A "basic" Guitar pedal costs an organ here.

  I had a 500k Klon pedal in my shopping cart. Wound up buying 50000 Amazon drive pedals instead and running them into each other. Greatest tone I've ever had.

  The more there is cheap gear, the more it puts the pressure on the current "big players" in the music gear to really make their products actually worth the price difference.

  You should release a Bezos pedal. When you hook it up to your pedal board, it gradually starts doing what all the other pedals are doing, killing them off one by one.

  What Amazon Basics suggests to me here is, "Honey if you're going to the store, can you pick up some bread, milk, eggs, a mini distortion, and a delay if it's fresh?"  Also, still waiting to hear WILL IT CHUG?

  I think that in the long term, these might actually help companies like JHS. &nbsp;Lowering the cost barrier of entry for guitar pedals grows the consumer base and eventually those consumers will want to upgrade. Kinda like the dealer on the corner and the first fix being free, gear junkies need their gear fix. &nbsp;This is the gateway gear that gets them hooked.

  “I hope tons of kids get these for Christmas.” That is both really awesome and really smart. The more kids get the guitar bug, the more people are buying guitar gear.
