Not For Josh
The Not for Josh is due out on 14 October and comes with the following statement from Poison Noises, who are the makers of the pedal.
This is the right pedal for everyone besides Josh. For a limited time, anyone in the world can own a piece of pedal history, as long as their name isn’t Joshua Heath Scott.
Creamy OD/Fuzz
Described as a wild op-amp fuzz and creamy overdrive it features a Blend knob and controls for Drive, Volume, and Fuzz.
I’m guessing that Josh will get his hands on one anyway, but the marketing for this is kind of funny, that is if you are a pedal geek.
MSRP – $179.99
