![]() The Taichi certainly delivers on that front. What we can go by is the common thread in the tones we’re aiming for: fat, smooth sounding overdrive that the players mentioned above deliver in spades. Is the tone lost in translation through an approximation of a pedal approximating an amp? In all honesty, it’s impossible to tell. So, we were all ears when we heard that Joyo had delivered their take on the classic Zendrive. ![]() It’s easier (and about as affordable) to get yourself on the property ladder than it is to purchase one of the 300 ODS amps in existence. The Zendrive was originally designed to emulate the legendary tones of a Dumble Overdrive Special: the elusive amps built by Alexander Dumble cloaked in mystery and played by the likes of Larry Carlton, Carlos Santana and Robben Ford. Purists will dispute the authenticity of the King Of Blues relative to Analog Man’s hallowed pedal, but we’d urge you to see this for what it is: a fantastic dual-drive for under £70. Meanwhile, the B channel is more in the realm of Tube Screamer type overdrive: thick, full but still punchy. ![]() Tone City’s King Of Blues is part Klon, part King Of Tone, and you can buy one, today, for £69.Įngine (channel) A gives you a lower gain, Klon-style ‘transparent' boost, perfect for when you need those neck-y Strat sounds with some added bite. But that doesn’t mean that sublime blues tone only comes to those who wait. This is due to the scarcity of the discontinued components housed inside. The sticking point is that in order to bag yourself a KoT, you’ll need to be willing to wait for around two years. For such an iconic pedal, the King Of Tone isn’t unrealistically expensive - something that Analog Man founder Mike Piera has stuck to rigidly, despite used prices rocketing to double or more of a new pedal. I have heard great things about the Tim and Timmy by Paul Cochrane and I have own a couple OCDs at one time or another.īut what are your thoughts? Which should I get or should I just stay with my Klon? Or shoot, I could keep the Klon and get one of these too.Alternative to: Klon Centaur, AnalogMan King Of Toneįeatures: Dual-channel, stackable overdrive, 2x gain, volume and tone controls, 9v DC powerĪnalog Man’s King Of Tone aimed to replicate the sound of a valve amp that has been pushed into rich harmonic overdrive, but at useable settings. I want a dynamic and transparent overdrive that pairs well with other pedals and is quiet. ![]() ![]() With that in mind, I thought I would bring it before you guys to see what you think. I currently own a Klon and it sounds amazing but I am a little bothered by the mid hump.yes there is a mid hump despite what some may say. So I am currently on the hunt for the next pedal. ![]()
