I agree so much with Noel. Taking a second to show the amps and their settings is a step up.

I won a Jeff Archer in a competition. It's the only thing ive ever won and its been on my board for the last 18 months. Its awesome.

[djay]

The fact that someone would spend $5k+ on a drive pedal and only use it as a clean boost is absolute madness. Get a Tube Screamer or an SD-1 if you're gonna do that. The Centaur is a really good drive.

Loving this format, and these shorter videos that actually have pedals in them! Marvelous! 🎉 Cheers, Gents!

[VintageRadius]

Your klon is a special beast, Mick. Love you guys are mixing in the shorter format for stuff like this

[Dang...]

Thank you. I enjoyed the shorter video format. While I ALWAYS enjoy your videos, I often don't have enough time to watch the longer ones. Great work as always!

I love the short mid week videos mixed with the long ones on Friday! Personally, I took a long road to discover that I’m not really into Klons. They sound very nasal to my ears.

[rowbags]

I love the way our eyes influence what we hear! Using headphones all the way, I watched the video and thought I heard clear differences many times. After I'd given my ears a chance to forget, I ran it again "blind" while I read the comments... Result: I missed a lot of the changes I'd picked up on previously.

A 335 and a klon (or klon style pedal) is truely something magical 👌

[DRChevalier]

I am very pleased by these short very tight videos that are focused on pedals. In this case, each pedal sounds great and in a live setting in a bar or pub or auditorium with all the other elements that have an effect on sound, no one in the audience will hear a difference, nor will they care. And in a studio, your fingers and pick attack will have much more impact than which Klon or Klone is in the chain, and that is if you are using loops to isolate the pedals in your chain. Most folks don't Thank you as always Health and success to you both

[victorramirez]

Love mine, if it’s enough for JB & JM then it’s enough for me. Thank you guys good job as always.

J Rocket were making the KTR clones for bill Finnegan before a falling out so they know the inside of the con well and the theory of the designer behind it, they took the KTR and made it better to their mind

[southpaw]

I do like this mid-week short sharp (and straight to the point) format for a bit of fun. Just the thing to keep us sane before we have more time on the weekend for a TPS tangent or two.
I remember well that first Klon episode that began this shenanigans we call TPS, where does the time go? Thanks for all the years of content and inspiration you Leg-ends

[IamMusicNerd]

I always go with the Tumnus Deluxe for the closest Klon sounds, because it’s the only one with a 3 band EQ and a hard/soft clip toggle, so you can dial it in much closer than most Klon clones.

[nigelvonshredman]

I love me a straightforward OD pedal comparison TPS vid. Thank you for your time gentlemen. Very enjoyable.

[mattgilbert]

I love it when Mick plays through a Fender amp. That DRRI & his Two-Rock are a beautiful match. The klons really make Dan's Tele even more of a beast. *Great* tones. Fender guitars+ Fender amp + Klon = winner!

To my ears the "Jeff" sounded a bit "fatter". A little less of an upper-mid nose, puts back a little of the lower-mids.

[Leychen]

I like that short&focused look at a smaller topic without giving up the TPS vibe!

[joshwaterfield]

I can’t comment on Klon comparisons, but I will say the JB is the best overdrive I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. It has a focus and articulation that I’ve yet to experience elsewhere. Nice shootout, guys!

[kenerb]

Thank You Thank You Thank You... I have been using my Archer for a clean boost since I got it. Leaving the overdrive for my magic green pedal. Played around with a higher overdrive setting on the Archer this afternoon and I love it. Love your channel.

Love these short format videos - a pleasant surprise between VCQ and Friday shows!
I've just begun exploring Klon sounds via a Stewmac Ghost Drive kit build that a friend recently assembled for me. So far, so good!
