JK GoodSound Custom Pedals

JK Jangbal is a Korean who has stayed in Malaysia for quite some time. Here he ventures into the market selling various custom made pedals. I personally admire his works and I had 2 of his pedals in my pedalboard - Distortion and Analog Delay. In my earlier setup, I used to have his Overdrive which he said was built based on Hao Rust Driver. Sold that one to a friend who fell in love with it and he is keeping it for good.

My friend who was the first owner of the distortion pedal (serial #2) had the pedal built in an enclosure of a Mesa Boogie amp footwswitch. JK informed me the distortion pedal was based on Emma Electronics' Reezafratzitz V1. It is a cool pedal with a unique voicing knob which alters the tone from Class A sounding to Class A/B, or something like that. As for the delay, it is a dark sounding analog delay pedal which was a great pair for my Arion SCH-1. 

Both pedals are pictured in the photo below. The delay had no paint, so I covered the pedal with a black sticker. 


A good friend of mine, Suppie of Woof's Guitar Workshop in Puchong was working closely with JK to produce a distortion and booster in one pedal. Suppie named it MK II Custom, which stands for Man Keedal. Suppie had this pedal built for Man Keedal, and as far as I can recall, I only see 2 units of them being built. 




Apart from these productions, JK has also built and sold numerous pedals - Looper/Switcher, Chorus, Overdrive, Buffer, etc.
