Re: KLON...

The whole supply/demand thing is BS plain and simple. It makes the ASSUMPTION of a rational buyer. As mentioned - there are Klon clones out there. Some, you might think are even better than an original. The RATIONAL buyer purchases those, driving the original's price down, or they go out of business, or they change their feature set.

Simply not rational. Same with wine snobs. Good wine is good wine, doesn't matter what year. Take the label away and people make surprisingly different choices many times.

It's not BS Doc...you're reading WAAAY too much into it. Rationality has nothing to do with it. There is a finite supply, there is much more demand than there is supply, so the price increases.

If everything was about being rational you and I wouldn't own Gibsons, we'd own Japanese copies because that is, most likely, more rational.

1000 for a pedal in any way, that is just beyond any salvation.
Get a better amp I would say...but 1000 for a dumb 9v lowtech box....that is just crazy.

Re: KLON...

I understand that everyone has their own tastes but when the Klon gets dismissed on this forum (or any forum) by some players I wonder if they might lack the playing skills to take advantage of what the Klon can do. Beck does have the skills.

I'd love to own a Klon.

No you had it right at first when you said "I understand that everyone has their own tastes". I have heard nothing from a Klon or a Klon clone that would make me want to run out and buy one. You could also hand me the rarest of rare Fender Jaguar or Jazzmaster and while I would appreciate the axe, it really wouldn't do anything for me. Everyone has their own bag.

Well, since this thread was started, the collector value of this pedal is now beyond $2000, and some are trying to push it up to $2500 - $3000. I'm glad I bought mine for $240.

Re: KLON...

I would love to have a Klon , I guess you have to actually hear it in person under your fingers. It also was attached to a Trainwreck , which is an outstanding sounding amplifier. I bought my Lovepedal Kalamazoo after that and at $199 it was a very hard thing to do, but it sounds great. Wonder whoever picked up my EP 3 and carried it off from the jam house where I left it broken?

I went through the ended auctions on Ebay and was amazed! I wish I had a time machine. I'd stop in 94 and pick up some Klons!

Re: KLON...

Well if you wager that they won't drop in price, buy one now and you might profit when the price raises even more. They should be most popular with Gen X'ers right? In the next five to fifteen years they should be hitting the empty nest/midlife crisis phase of their lives and willing to blow lots of their excess golden aged cash attempting to recapture their youth. I foresee bullish activity in the Klon market through at least 2025.

Re: KLON...

Bill has reissued the Klon at a "reasonable" price. I use the quotes since a Soul Food is under $100 and the KTR is $250 or so. You know some will say its not the same...

That's a lot of components for an overdrive pedal...

Re: KLON...

So, what do you guys recon ?

Is the Soul Food a worthy Klon klone ?
