    What Klones are out there today ?

    KLON TALK :


    Except the EHX offering, what sub $200.00 Klon clones are out there, that can be seen as a respectable clone of the all-mighty Klon ?


    Thanks to all.

    I use a Silver Pony I put together from Build Your Own Clone - it's a great pedal and does everything I needed/expected it to. They discontinued the kit, however you can still find some floating around Reverb.com.

        It was a little convoluted, and I'm not sure I ever got to the real story over at the BYOC forums, but it was something like a 'cease and desist' thing from the original Klon designer or a mutual agreement that if they didn't stop, one would be forthcoming. Pity, because it's a great pedal. I can't speak to how close it is to an original, because I haven't tried one, but their YouTube vid comparison is pretty close - and it's all close enough for me. I have mine in the chain immediately after an (always on) Xotic EP Booster and the combination is great.

          Thanks for the info mate !

          Wonder if they can re-start that pedal, with the exact same internals, but with a very diff name ?

          Who will ever know ?

            J. Rocket Archer

            ARC Effects Klone

            Then you know about the EHX Soul Food.

            Of the three, the Soul Food is the cheapest and I've heard it's 95-99% of the way there, but I've also heard great things about the Archer.

              Wampler Tumnus is a 1590A sized one that is fairing well in shootouts. If I were to buy one it would either be a Klon KTR, Archer or Tumnus.
              Oh no.....


              Oh Yeah!

                    I've got a Soul Food, it's a great pedal, but after playing with an Archer at a shop the other day, the Soul Food has got a bit of a different vibe. I'm now in the market for an Archer (or possibly a Tumnus). The Archer sounded **** good in the store with a Tele into a 68 Custom Deluxe.

                              There's a Silver Pony up on Reverb for $90 at the moment - which feels like a no-brainer to me.
