The Nearly Ultimate Klon Klone Shootout

[aj633]

I've been working on a shootout video of 9 different Klones. It includes everything from a Soul Food to a KTR to a couple pedals made by local guys here in Memphis. It's a "blind" shootout, but PM me for the list in order when you're ready to find out what is what. I'm hoping to do one or two more videos, since this one is very basic.

Here are the ones I had:
ARC Effects v2
Electro Harmonix Soul Food
Frayser FX The Centaur (local Memphis builder)
KTR
JHS modded Soul Food
Mojo Pedals K1
Pedal Projects
Rim Rock Effects Mythical OD
Robert Hinson (local Memphis builder)

Get your monitors fired up or your headphones on, and go here to see the video: http://bit.ly/1JjdV7W

Which one(s) are your favorite(s)? Least favorite(s)?

You should get a hold of a RYRA Klone.

I'm broke. If anyone wants to send me one to add, I'd be glad to do it. But I can't spend another dime.

Ya beat me to it! I just got a Rock Your Repaired Amp Klone and it lives up to its name!

That looks pretty sweet. I wish OD builders would get together and decide on jacks on the top OR the sides though. Those top jacks with everybody else using side jacks can be frustrating. They would be great though if it was the standard.

This should be interesting

You need a BYOC Silver Pony. About as close as they get.

Y'all are killin' me! 9 Klones and all you can do is suggest more? Show me another video with 9 Klones...

Don't a lot of people swear by the VFE Merman?

Where is the Archer?

You can skip ahead to 28:20 for all of them together in sequence:



We know we should have done it in sections but our video director got cancer during post production and we couldn't ask him to do more work while he was going through treatment.

Can vouch for my ARC Effects Klone V2. Any level setting is a good sound, for the right given application. Not being a fanatic to fully match the real Klon, which I hear from those that own Klons that it does well on this, it's just a good overdrive for all the reasons you want a Klone. Also I found good interactions with the company, with Aaron there having helped me out and very responsive.

How can you do this without the gold Archer thing, I mean it is the best of the best, right?

Hahaha...yeah, right. I can say as the person behind the shootout video above I have tried the new Archer Icon vs. regular Archer and there is only a slight difference. As there is with all the Klones.
