I fancy a Klon... but damn they're expensive!! :/

Err, you could buy an amp for that!

Looks like a cat has poo'd inside that one :lol:

its to stop people cloning the klon

As always with these boutique pedals, I just can't imagine paying that kind of money.
It's different with guitars, because there's a visual/tactile element which I'm prepared to pay for.
But all a pedal has is its sound. And no matter how good that sound may be, I can make it sound shite.

I know a guy on another forum that built a centaur- not bad sounding and probably cost £15 in components.

its true there are various schematics online, but how to verify them?

It's a great pedal. Buy it!
Who cares about the cost? It's how much value it has to you!!

Or finding out it's 95% the same as a £35 Boss SD1....

Not really true, the Klon is actually a new design, not just a ts808 derivative. demo of the clone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtsIo9wLzGg)

holy cr@p! that's like 3 HBE pedals!

Looks as if you're paying a lot for the 'screen printing'/case. Seems lots of maufacturers are 'gooping' the electronics to hamper reverse engineering.
-
It's my fault gwEm wants a Klon. When he was over he asked me about it, so I let him try it - fatal. Mine is one with the Centaur, but bought when they were just merely expensive, and when the gold and maroon case was standard!
-
Kudos to the people that buy them cheap and sell them on for a profit down the line and I'm always in awe of the marketing machine forever creating un-obtanium available to people with that kind of money... maybe I'm just a tight bar-steward lol but I wouldn't spend that type of money on something I need to stand on and that would get kicked around.

I once saw a job advertised for reverse engineering. At least they were up front about it.

That's a different animal altogether - it is a send return switching box, the Klon is an overdrive.

I'm glad somebody's cleared that up! :)
I was reluctant to comment given my general ignorance of pedals, but I even went and read the manual for the Klein-ulator and couldn't see any Klon-alike features.

It's a Dumbleator clone isn't it? Larry Carlton talks about them on one of his instruction videos.

Ridiculous, I would never waste that much money on an overdrive pedal. Theres no way it'll sound £500 good :P
