RYRA: The Klone Guitar Pedal

This one shouldn't need much explaining. It's an accurate homage and replica of a classic. A classic which I remember well and actually demoed once or twice. Shane's version doe it proud.

I hope this video gets the message across. It's a great drive pedal but does an amazing thing with its clean boost facility. The key is in the Gain control which shifts bottom and mid frequencies as it increases gain. Very clever and a super tool for pushing your amp into all sorts of extra drive nirvana. Nice one, Klon; thanks for keeping the wheels rolling, Shane.

This is how all pedal videos should be - well done.

Killer playing, man. Checked this out to hear tones. Stayed for the smooth riffs.

Most videos say that Klons (Klones?) shouldn't be used with the gain up, but you putting the gain on 3 o'clock was an incredible tone! I love the "woody" drive tones. Great vid.

A year late to the party, but that was one of the best pedal demos I’ve ever watched.

Best demo of this on the internet. Just got my RYRA Klone and LOVING it. Thank you for demystifying things and just playing awesomely. You have great musicality in your phrasing. Much like Gilmour I might add. You demonstrated so clearly the Klone’s amazing boost and gain features and more importantly the interaction between the gain and output IMO.

4:05 .wowow.. Brett... beautiful !! I am sure John Mayer secretly sees your video and goes..." damn! Got to learn man .. gotta learn."

Stunning playing, thanks for sharing.

[damienhutchinson]

Fabulous playing...and that tone is killer!

[MeTuLHeD]

Wow! Such a smooth sounding pedal. Even with the gain cranked it has that "something". Great tones.

I was gifted this pedal a few days ago, and your video is perfect for me to learn optimum settings for various sounds. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this and share it with us.

You're one hell of a guitar player my friend!!

[joshmuz]

That's baby making music right there

[MarcCoteMusic]

Nice playing, Brett, and I like the backing track, too. This RYRA Klone sounds really good.

[cliverobinson]

Wow nice playing and between you and That Pedal Show I now have mine coming soon. Put in front of my Hamstead Artist 20 should be heaven

[drjazz]

once again your demo is the most enjoyable of something I searched for. Note perfect

[scottmclennan]

Very versatile pedal that isn’t too intrusive. Nice playing setting it off too!!

[chatolars]

Great sound and very effortless playing man ...wow

[TechMetalRules]

Starting at 3:28 it sounds like you're channeling a bit of Carlton... which made me notice that this Guthrie backing track might be channeling a bit of Kid Charlemagne... haha!

[adama]

Good playing makes for a much better demo

[sassulusmagnus]

Great demo. Very informative. Superb playing, too.
