JHS Pedals released the NOTADÜMBLË, its second solderless DIY kit pedal, in May 2025¹. The kit was announced on May 5²³, and Guitar.com reported that it would return on 12 May at 4pm CDT after initial units sold out within a day of launch⁴.

The kit builds a two-in-one pedal with clean and overdrive channels, switched by a slider on the front of the enclosure⁴³. The clean channel has Input and Output controls; the overdrive channel has Drive, EQ and Volume⁴³. An internal trimpot adjusts presence, described by Guitar.com as "for dialing in upper-mids and treble frequencies in the gain stage"⁴; Pedal of the Day describes it as controlling upper-mid range and treble frequencies in the gain stage³. Gearnews reports five controls in total, three for the drive channel and two for the clean channel, plus the internal presence control².

The kit ships with pre-fitted circuit boards, the metal housing, knobs, cables and screws, and a tube of "goop"⁴². Guitar.com and Pedal of the Day both report an assembly time of about 20 minutes⁴³; Pedal of the Day adds that the internal goop has to dry for 24 hours³. The price is $119⁴³. Gearnews lists the kit at 106.95 euros plus 19.95 euros shipping².

Gearnews reports that the clean channel is supposedly based on a Dumble Small Special and the overdrive on another Dumble amp, likely an Overdrive Special². Guitar.com quotes JHS on the channel switch:

Guitar.com notes that original Dumble amps have sold for well over $150,000⁴. JHS previously released the NOTAKLÖN, a solderless DIY kit, in 2023⁴².
