So all of this might have happened before he started working with NJS (assuming that's his manufacturer, but it sure seems most likely)... Can you even order pedals from JMI these days? :hmm:

Yes, but technically they're different companies, no?
JMI belonged to Hylight Electronics, which is now dissolved.

Their advertising sure is hilarious.

"Home of fuzz since 1966"

.. wait a sec.. it's the 50th anniversary of the MKI Tone Bender...

"Home of fuzz since 1965"!

A logo that says "London - England", but their address is in Doncaster. :roll:

I thought the VPW guy worked for JMI before leaving and setting up VPW?
I think Ant messaged him on Reverb about using the tonebender logo and the guy said he wasn't building anymore but getting rid of old stock. I think Sola bought all the stock cheap from him and sold them on as a measure of good faith? Or did I imagine that?

The last I heard Steve Giles had a pretty serious car/cycle accident and, later, decided to return to university.

Steve Giles got out of the business. I am in contact with him. He is a good hearted person that got into building without the intent to mislead anyone. He got mixed up in a situation where he had very little control. He set up VPW to break away from the cunts he was working for when he realized things were shady.

Yes, he had a serious bike accident that fractured his skull. Currently, he is living in Bulgaria. I think the guy deserves the benefit of any doubt.
