I was browsing proguitarshop this morning looking for a cheap pedal to go with their Valentine code, and they had a link to an article entitled, "the cult of Klon".
The whole thing is retardageddon.
WWPD?

also, can't you actually order a new Klon, like new from the guy who made them, for less than $300?
yeah, there's a wait, but as someone who's waited a year for a pedal, a little pre-order never hurt anyone... http://www.axeandyoushallreceive.com/pr ... -overdrive

Nope. There were 1500 made of the KTR and now they go for around $600. A new wave of them is supposedly being released this or next month, but that's what was said about the KTR and it took like five years.
It's been reverse engineered, and surprise surprise, it's yet another Tube Screamer, or YATS for those who have done this enough times. I know board policies here aren't favorable toward too much info on how to clone a current-production pedal, but let's just say that it's at the forum where you would look for a schematic of a boutique pedal, and there's a veroboard guide available on a site that puts those out.

Some mild tweaks and quirks. Nothing revolutionary, with several of the tricks being old hat in other YATSs. By comparison, the Klon actually had some originality to it and is far beyond just being a modded TS. Doubtful that there was more than a little tinkering happening here.

No I'm pretty sure it's just one of Jero's Joy Biscuits with all of the goodness replaced with suck.
That's a lot of goodness to be excavated. massive price comes from the hourly wage of good removers.
