You could chug it one time?
Clean tone blues
Is it on the stock settings dip switches?
I like your clean tone better. However, it is a really nice pedal but way, way overpriced.
The Red side is OD and the yellow side is boost as set from the factory.
I think I'll pass… but then again, you demoed with the gain pegged. Once you backed the left side down, you pegged the volume, pushing the amp… not a fair demo.
Blues is all about balance, not too much, not too little when it comes to grit. So many great legends used no pedals at all.
I search on.
does this have any guitar lessons online?
signed up for the waiting list july 2017. But hey they came through and ordered mine yesterday.
Watched a lot of your vids lately. Just realised you are the least bias guitar reviewer by a long shot.
I had a Prince of Tone. It was a really good pedal…But i remember not being able to tame the highs on it. It had a really piercing high end in many settings. I ultimately sold it. It never ends..
Been waiting for over 2 and a half years and no pedals……I give up !!
This pedal is very cool but ways too expensive — the Wampler TQ Dual Fusion is basically the same concept (two OD type stacked) but half price with more voicing options (+ modern tones)
Has to be the best overdrive I have heard. And I own a ton of them.
I’ve got a box of overdrives I don’t use anymore. The King Of Tone has replaced them all except a tube screamer that I keep on my board to get a completely different flavor. They compliment each other very well and I run the boost side of the KOT with the tube screamer to make a great saturated tone. For those who aren’t aware, both sides of the KOT can be set to either boost, overdrive, or distortion by simply changing dip switches inside the pedal. I’m not sure why this important fact isn’t mentioned often in reviews. I run the left side as a boost and the right as an overdrive and had Analogman install the higher gain chip in the right side. It is a factory option. In front of my Marshall 1962HW it sounds incredible.
I've seen the Analogman interview and he says the pedal is not designed for quiet playing. He said he's had a few comments about it not sounding good at low amp levels.
Just some advice for the bedroom player who wants to treat themselves.
This obviously isn't a demo available pedal either, unless your mate has one.
Bottom line, research!
Any guitar player who doesn't get on the wait list for a King of Tone needs their head read. When your number comes up, get one, and if you don't like it, sell it on for three times what you paid or more. I'm 6 months away. I'll be getting the maximum (four). One to play, two to sell to get the purchase price back, and one to keep as an investment. When Mike stops making them, they'll be worth more than Klons
Yeah it's very, very good. But is it worth the "hype"? Ehhhhh……nah. Not really. Not unless you are earning your living solely from guitar work, then I can understand why you'd absolutely have to get one of these.
UAS King of Blues that'll do me. He'll even do one with half BB/half-klon.
King of Tone or the vs audio royal flush?
I am about to come up on the waiting list. Worth trying . .no way I can lose as the re-sale value is there. Have three high gain pedals and Fulltone FullDrive II , I am hoping the KOT will oust the Fulldrive II
Honestly I just don't really hear anything special about this pedal [soundwise], as far as any online demos, it's hard to tell unless you have it in front of you. I really don't care for fuzz but is it better souning than the KTR or the Superbolt? Anyone know?
Which fender amp are you plugged into?
Thanks for doing the demo! I just got one and wonder if you changed any of the factory settings inside the pedal? I don't get as much of the distortion as you seem to get. Thanks for any help!
I was disappointed of the demo. I think you should have focus on the pedal and exercise the dials, you had the distortion full up for some time. I got the just in1 minute what the sound was full up. I wanted to know what the pedal was capable interns of tone.
Is it worth all the hype? I don't know. Probably not. But the hype isn't the fault of the guys who are making the pedal. This is our economy at work. It's worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. It sounds pretty damn good to me but I've got plenty of awesome OD distortion boxes.
great playing, my guy.
I would like to hear it from a super clean amp.
It sounds good but too noisy in my opinion
over priced and over hyped !!!!…. Does nothing different than any pedal you can get for a third the price… get an angry charlie.. or a Mod tone fuzz… or an OCD.. You're just fooling yourself if you're really thinking there's any difference…
Great playing dude!
Ive always wondered why the graphics were so bad. They look like they were drawn on by hand with a gold paint pen. Several I've seen in the wild are nearly missing the graphics because they've rubbed off.
One of the best investments I've made for my board????????????
Honestly you sounded better without the effects, maybe you have to be able to play the instrument first before worrying about a whole array of gimmicky pedals. That squire sounds nice.
Very nice! Thanks!
Ive never heard a squire sound so freaking good.
That Tone knob at max though….
What amp are you using for this demo, tells alot about the sound if knowing ?
"This is my clean tone…" – plays overdriven sound. 🙂
I have the same Squire Strat – have you changed the bridge for a steel one ?
THANKYOU x
Thanks for the comparison of similar licks on the various settings.
reverb brings me here
What Fender amp? I like your base "clean" tone.
Nice demo – your playing is sweet. Ordered mine ages ago – 10 per week!
turn the tone down to about 9am and the pedal comes to life…
All Clon clones sound bad until you hear an "original" clon pedal and realize that even that sucked 🙂
Having said that I think this pedal is a "fine pedal" its just that the high end frequencies in this demo were a bit harsh.. probably due to the mike settings or something. The sensitivity of the pedal seems to be cool though…. Thank you for another fine Demo
What amp are you into?
sweet playin mate!
"Clean Tone" xD
im selling one if any one wants it http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/msg/4328142930.html
woah! Fuck yeah, that overdrive is… is so fucking good! :'D i love it
