November 1, 2024 · 1 sources
GUPtech states on its product page for the Jojo Cake Distortion Fuzz Pedal that since November 2024 all Jonny Rock Gear pedals are handmade by GUPtech in Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. The company writes that the line is now sold as "Jonny Rock by GUPTech, or JRG by GUPTech."
According to the page, the circuits and tone are unchanged, with what GUPtech describes as "some little enclosure changes to accommodate our new building methods." The page adds that buyers can expect the same quality from the pedals.
"Same tone, same circuits, some little enclosure changes to accommodate our new building methods"
The Jojo Cake itself is described as a distortion and fuzz unit intended to cover a range of tones, from smooth distortion to heavy saturation, with high sustain. GUPtech lists a true bypass design, a powder coated die cast aluminum enclosure, a 5mm LED indicator, and a DC input with negative center compatible with a standard 9V adaptor. The controls are named Size (volume), Icing (distortion) and Sugar (tone).
The page marks the pedal in stock, with pickup available at the GUP Tech shop in Saguenay. No US dollar price is given.
