So you THINK you know Klon?

Urine contest over, seeing the person that started it has left.

Erik, we've met and you're a good guy. Most of the members here are.

Mindless trolls like Formula, alcoholic sociopaths like Securb, and outright idiots like Assman are not. Assman regularly gets thrown off of this forum for his poisoness behavior.

These guys are rage-o-holics and contribute nothing of use to the forum.

They only poison the atmosphere for the other members who come here in search of help and useful information.

I laughed off their behavior yesterday but wound up having nightmares last night because of their poisoness attacks.

I avoided this forum for several years because of people like them and only returned because I started spending more time online because of social isolation due to COVID.

But I've had enough.

This is no fun.

I'm out of here and these snakes can spread their venom as much as they like and spray it in as wide an arc as the moderators will allow.

Personally, I think they all should be banned for life.

But I'm banning myself as of now.

I’m not mindless. That said, I AM emotionally stable enough not to have nightmares about a couple disagreements on an internet forum.

Deuces.

Deuces.

And I am not an alcoholic. I will not lose any sleep or have nightmares because someone called me one.

I’ve been reading about the Klon for longer than Josh has been modifying pedals, which pretty much makes me an internet expert on it.


All joking aside, does anyone else find it humorous how a decade ago it was a “transparent OD” and now it’s a “mid humped OD”? Granted, most used to use it as a boost before, now a lot of people use it as a distortion generator.

In the world of mythical ODs, I lean toward the KOT over the Klon. The beauty of all the options available now!

[Securb]

I use it as a distortion generator in most cases. There are some 70's tunes on our setlist that lend themselves to the Klone a bit better than my MXRs.

The closest I got to a real Centaur was a Soul Food. While it's a good overdrive, there was something grating that I could not dial out of it. The cut with it is great but I couldn't get it to sound right for me. Went back and forth with it a few times. Sold it and plenty happy with my Boss OD-3.

Maybe it needs those mythical magical diodes....LOL (watched the video and that's the funniest part)

[jeremy]

i dont think the soul food is a good klone example. its a fine overdrive but it doesnt do what the klon does to my ears.

it would be really nice if every one avoided the people they dont like on here. its always the same people getting into pissing matches and its crap that no one wants to deal with

[formula73]

Where’s the fun in that?

[jeremy]

if thats what you do for fun, time to find something else

The Klon obviously has a sound, and a feel, if you will. But at the end of the day, the circuit is well known these days. The style has been repeated by the Chinese, low end makers, hobbyists, boutique makers, midliners, and even major vendors.

Do any of them sound EXACTLY the same? Of course not. But Josh is right there in the room. I'd venture he knows as much about any pedal as everyone here combined. He seems to think they a sooo similar that it may not matter, especially in a band contest.

The Klon is a matter of great debate and mystery. Josh threw an epic amount of information and expert opinion out there. You don't have to agree with him...You may not agree with me - that's fine too. Why? Because if we all agreed there would be a TS9 and that would be it.

I wasn't sure. I've never used a real one and the SF was $50 used when I got it so I figured why not. Sold it for $40.

Nah. I like it here.

[NegativeEase]

I use a KLon -always on -for a touch of gain and grit but also because it really creates some separation and clarity in arpeggios and chordal based multi note passages (lots of notes ringing through) -it has a way of revealing your playing good and bad.

It's made me a better player -you can't hide in the band mix as much with a Klon

Cool video.

Deeply stupid thread.

I get it. But to me, it is just a pedal. It sounds good, but I also have other pedals that sound good.
