Has Bill Finnegan stopped making Klons again?

If I had a dollar for every influential musician that didn't use a Klon, I could buy Bill Finnegan.

Crazy. I saw one for $225 about 2 months ago. Should've picked one up.

I see the Klon KTR advertised for $269. new. Which is the price Bill Finnigan sold them for.

But when you go to the website, the store or seller lists them as “out of stock”.

I don’t think anyone who has one to sell is selling it for much under $400. today.

I noticed the cosmetics were a little different on the last batch... I think he was giving us all a hint.

That completely depends on whether or not you're married.

Think about it, what would your wife think if you purchased a little metal box for $2500 that is 95% the same as one that can be had for $50 used? My wife would take that as a sign that I've finally lost it.

Re: Has Bill Finnegan stopped making Klons again?

where can i spend $50 for a klon? i'll take two! my wife would think she lucky to have a husband who can afford to waste $2500 on a little metal box while still keeping a roof over our heads, food in our bellys, and drinks in our hands if she married me, then she already would know ive lost it, or never had it

No Klon's for $50. He said a $50 box can be had that is 95% of the $2500 box. But, you can buy plenty of Klondike Bars for $50. Or, for $50 I can build a real nice klone and have money left over for at least a couple of boxes of Klondike Bars. What would you do-o-o for a Klondike Bar ...

Re: Has Bill Finnegan stopped making Klons again?

ive played those $50 boxes and none of them did for me what a klon did, not that im spending $2500 or even $500 to get that thing. i would like a klondike bar though... havent had one those in forever!

Re: Has Bill Finnegan stopped making Klons again?

Yeah, but some cheap $50 retail, mass produced Asian made "Klon" (that really isn't a "clone") ain't the same as sourcing a quality PCB, components and hardware and building a part for part, 1:1 copy, yourself.

Re: Has Bill Finnegan stopped making Klons again?

very true! id love to get into pedal building sometime but i barely have time for the hobbies i currently have. chasing women, drinking and making a racket on stage eats up a lot of time!

Yes, the important things in life can take up all of ones time. Especially the chasing and drinking.

I have a buddy with an original Klon Centaur (silver case). I think he still has it anyway. I replaced the footswitch on it for him, maybe 10 years ago. I've played through it before but never did a side by side comparison. I have no real burning desire to do so. I already know my "clone" sounds like a Klon. But still, it would be interesting to have them both on the board to pick out subtleties or nuances. I would need to get a passive a/b/y to do it right. Maybe I'll try and work it out ... when/if I'm really bored.
