The Harlot v2 was discontinued several years ago and replaced with the Harlot v3, which is still in production and offers an expanded feature set over the v2, though many users prefer the simpler controls and warmer overall tone of the earlier 3-knob pedals. This is a 2017 production example, which I kept over the updated v3 because I preferred the sound and didn't find myself using the extra features of the v3. It has dual-lock applied to the back as well as rubber bumpers at the corners. It can be run from most multi-pedal power supplies as it requires the standard 9v dc negative tip - but the tube does draw fairly high current, more than most modern processor-intensive digital pedals, and for this reason I always ran it with its own original 9v dc 800mA power supply, which is included.
The Jouster v2 was discontinued due to the complexity of the dual tube circuit and build cost. It remains one of the finest overdrive pedals ever made and my primary drive pedal for everything short of heavy modern styles. This is a 2018 production example which I purchased and kept as a backup, and since then it has seen occasional use in the recording studio while my main Jouster lives in the rehearsal space with the rest of my gig gear. It has a ding on one corner (pitcured) from being pulled into the pedal next to it when walked away from the recording desk without realizing my guitar cable was looped around it. It has rubber bumpers at the corners. It can NOT be run from a standard power supply, as it requires a 12v dc POSITIVE tip supply. Some multi-pedal supplies can accomodate this via a dedicated 12v output and reverse-polarity connector, but care must be taken when doing so. The original 12v dc 700mA power supply is, of course, included.
