JHS. Metal Zone shirt. Yeah baby. I'm happy to not know jack. It's more fun just knowing sound and quickly discerning what knobs to turn to get there.
Have an Ikon, best I could get for the money. I notice everytime I get 'that' piece of gear, it only reveals it's worth and potential if everything around it is also stellar: right guitar, right amp, right settings, and excellent dynamic personal performance on the instrument.

here's what i know. after playing through (not watching youtube videos of), the soul food, the golden horse, the mythical overdrive, the tumnus, the archer, and a klon, they all sound slightly different. in a blind test, i chose the klon. YMMV. i would never pay the price people are asking for the OG, so i've been using the mythical overdrive for a few years now.Quality riffs in about a minute...

Most of the guys doing Klon demos might be able to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube but lack the touch to squeeze a note out of a guitar.“Practice cures most tone issues” - John Suhr

I've seen vids of Clapton playing through an assortment of crap, and sounding just like Clapton as good as he ever does. I can add a dozen names to that list.
Jeff Beck could be giving a concert through POD Xt behind and amp and you'd swear it was the greatest thing you ever heard.Originally posted by Bad City

And I probably know more about Eric Clapton and his music and gear choices over the years than you do too.
But that has nothing to do with fumble fingered nerds demoing Klons and not being able to get the magic tones out of them that a player who can actually PLAY get out of them.“Practice cures most tone issues” - John Suhr
