^ True! ha
Maybe a grand is still under that insane speculative pricing threshold?The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

its a great pedal, i know a few guys who have both the klon and ktr. basically sounds the same, and not in the soul food sounds the same kinda way. $1000 for a pedal is ridiculous if you ask me. it does its trick really damn well though

After seeing the inside of a KTR, I can't imagine paying very much for one. Sure it sounds good but ribbon connectors? Come on.
Even for normal retail prices, in that range, it should be a hand wired pedal with excellent attention to detail.
The KTR has the appearance that it was assembled by children.

Great pedal...but I couldn't tell the difference between a KTR and my BYOC Silver Pony, so I will keep the pony. I don't fetishize pedals- I am pretty practical.Administrator of the SDUGF

I disagree with your last point. It’s a standard SMT style pedal. (Which we accept for everything else on our lives). The Ceriatone Centura is probably the more accurate one now since it’s still through hole, if you care about that.
And, you are correct. We do accept SMT as perfectly adequate.
It's just that for the cost that these things command, someone could easily buy any number of handwired Klones that are expertly made using top quality parts.
I have no issues with paying for quality, as long as the quality is there. With the KTR, you get a machine made PCB (with no serviceable parts) that is simply placed inside a box and screwed down.

I have to chuckle as I came out very well financially on the original Klon I had profit wise and now potentially can do similar with the KTR pedals I have. Gotta love hype!!The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
