WHY I PICKED IT
"This is a cool limited-release pedal with a very vintage vibe. I had my eye on the JHS Unicorn (Uni-Vibe) for a while, but it was discontinued. The Good Vibrations is another Uni-Vibe option from JHS. The collectibility is appealing to me too."
At Sweetwater, this certified open box JHS Good Vibrations pedal is $198. That's $101 below the original price. It was inspected by Sweetwater's factory-authorized techs and is covered by a free 2-year warranty. The pedal is a Sweetwater exclusive, limited-release design made with The Beach Boys documentary in mind. Buy Now at Sweetwater

WHY I PICKED IT
"I came across this stuff while trying to diagnose a problem with one of my guitar amps. I was ready to fork over hundreds of dollars to have it looked at and repaired but decided to give cleaning the jacks and pots a chance first. Turns out that's all I needed. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you're nervous about it."
