Analogman King of Tone vs Klon Centaur Pedal Shootout

[secondfrenzy]

HOLY MOLY THAT CLEAN TONE MELTED MY HEART.

[alexandrealonso]

On a side note: I thought for a while you had a v-neck tshirt. ( Great playing!)

[EmilioConesa]

What a great base clean tone that 66’ Deluxe. Gotta get one!

[sethkohlbus]

I appreciate that you know how a pedal should be played and used, you had some killer tone going on. I'd love to see a few back to back chords too.

[GnarlyTones]

Everything sounds good in the right hands, as shown here.

What holds my attention the most is how well you play. Congrats!

My thoughts on reverb for this demo: I understand people not wanting the reverb on, but for me I need to test these pedals with the sound that I use. Of course reverb echoes (in a very colored way) what signal you put into it. The way reverb responds to these pedals is important to me. Also, as many of you are aware, until you use your pedal either live or on a recording, it is hard to know how effective it is. Sometimes the pedals that sound bland cut through, and some pedals sound fantastic by themselves but seem to lose their coherence when playing live with a band or mixing the sound in with drums and bass and other instruments on a recording.

Wonderful job explaining what these pedals do! Thank you so much

Basically, a clone is a transparent drive which focuses more on adding drive by maintaining the original sound of the guitar or amp. This is suitable for those who like the sound of the amp and makes it distort without changing the sound, in contrast to classic overdrive or tube simulation which provides characteristics because of its adding or changing sounds suitable for those who like to explore, correct if iam wrong thanks

These pedals compliment each other very nicely. I have a KOT and a RYRA Klone. If you use your Klon as a boost, which it is amazing for, it compliments almost everything you throw at it. A good tube screamer goes great with these pedals too. 3 great and different tones.

With all respect for the Klon, people should realize there are many ways to achieve control over their tone. A Klon could be a good investment, but in the search for great tone, it isn't the be-all-end-all holy grail of tone. It has certainly made its statement and directed people toward another mid push beyond the Tube Screamer circuit. You have to start with a good guitar with good pickups and good cable. A Sarno Black Box Tube Buffer or an Analogman Buffer into the King of Tone into a Maxon OD-820 works even more dynamically than with the Klon. We're not in 2004 - there are some great buffers now for us all. And if you want mid push, go for the Ibanez TS808HW or a Suhr Koko Reloaded. Open your sound with a good clean platform by the OD-820 or a Xotic SH RC Booster. Nothing can replace the King of Tone, though.. that thing is an animal.

k...best vid out for either of these pedals. I wish there was reasonably priced waiting list for a Klon. My KOT is nearing after 2 plus years. Great playing also and I love that strat.

[PerroConBufanda]

Great video. I love your sound and your playing. I really like the reverb and how it sound with pedals. Greetings from Chile 😁😁😁✌🏼❤

[Stratisfied]

The Klon style pedal has been the most useful for me. Turn the gain down and use as a boost for amazing clean tones and cranked the breakup is really nice. I have a RYRA Klone which is made in USA and is a part for part copy that I highly recommend.

[jonarchambaultbandofficial]

I appreciate both your Tone and Chops... BRAVO!

[matduk]

Man, you rock 😎, Very nice shootout probably because your playing is so nice...reminds me Hendrix's feel and Stevie Ray Vaughan

[derekmc]

I Don’t know what you did for sound in this video but it’s great. you can clearly hear the mid boost in the klon compared to the kot and a lot of the details in each. Great video for someone like me who hasn’t heard either. 😎👍

[It_is_now]

Wow, Clean tone is so nice. With Klon is so Thick and beefy. I have price of tone but I prefer the thickness of Klon.

[BracliCreations]

Nice demo shotout! Yes the Klon + KOT is a blissful sonic Chernobyl

[tonedover]

nice demo, cool rig and great riffs - thanks
