August 18, 2010 Update: A nice build your own tone klone customer made youtube video of our larger Klon Centaur clone (klone). This youtube link is the HD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zQ0Nfll5do

The klone boutique pedal settings in the above videos show the level control on the left, which is my builder preference. The level control was set very low by Roger in this video, which is fine, but it has a lot more range and volume, so please do not be shy about using the level control, you will have a bigger tone and smile ;-)

August 12, 2010 Update: The really big news is that 2 of my klones will be at the Nashville, TN amplifier expo later this month.

KW Cabs will be participating at the Nashville Amp Expo on August 21st & 22nd 2010. They will be on hand with a host of cabinets and amps in their demo room. Hope to see you there. Check out www.nashvilleampexpo.com

One of my very good customers is very impressed with my klone product, and he purchased 2 of them. This is not new, as he is the 2nd customer to have purchased 2 of my klones. Each of these good customers purchased an MXR sized Orange Krusher klone, and then purchased a slightly larger gold klone with a blue opaque LED. Make NO mistake, this klone is very popular!

John B a stellar guitar player who really knows his guitar and amplifier equipment will be showcasing his guitar playing skills for KW Cabinets kwcabs.com, at this Nashville, TN amplifier expo. John B will have both of my klones on his pedal board. You may may be able to play through one of my klones at the show, or at the very least hear a real professional guitar slinger make this klone sing!

No special IC chips are installed in either of these klones, as John is quite happy with the stock klone configuration. You will be too!

Klon Centaur clones can be ready in 3-4 business days, choose your enclosure color now. The colors available at the moment are limited to gold and orange. The gold is the slightly larger enclosure which is a very popular customer choice, however the smaller orange starlight metallic MXR type enclosure is still very popular.

The smaller orange MXR type enclosure is only available with orange knobs for a monochrome effect which I really like. If orange knobs are not your choice, they do not have to be installed. Cream, white, black or any other color choice knob can be purchased from Pedal Parts Plus or Small Bear Electronics.

I am still building the custom ordered klones, and I am just catching up with the custom assembled klone boutique pedal orders. If I have not contacted you via e-mail just yet, do not worry, I am on top of it. Each klone boutique pedal is unique & different with your choice of LED color, and available enclosure colors, which is limited now. I try to mix up the enclosure colors when I do order them for inventory.

I have recently completed klone boutique pedal #'s 11, 12, and lucky number 13 which is a trick looking black prismatic color. I will post these photos later this evening. Number 11 is a true custom shop special, as it is a bubble gum pink starlight metallic color with an super ultra bright clear pink LED. The shocking pink klone is equipped with a very special IC chip, which really makes this klone a tone super star!

I am still catching up with my custom klone boutique pedal orders and I have just completed #14, and just have to install the LED in #15, if I can just remember what color LED the customer wanted? :-) Thank you for your utmost patience. Your patience will be rewarded with one of the best sounding overdrive/ ultra clean boost boutique pedals ever offered.

I have even built a custom ordered Klon clone for Nigel Tufnel aka: Christopher Guest of "Spinal Tap."

See klone (number 5) photos of Nigel Tufnel's custom ordered Klon Centaur clone here.

I remember this very funny, and all too real movie when it was 1st shown in the theaters back in the day. If you have never seen this movie, you owe it to yourself to check it out as you will smile and laugh. Many people can identify with the characters portrayed in the movie Spinal Tap.

I assembled my 1st Klon Centaur clone March 20, 2010. On March 21, 2010 I housed my prototype Klon clone in an unpainted original Hammond 1590B type enclosure with a clear orange super bright LED using a fancy metal LED holder.

This is a fantastic neat overdrive/ booster boutique pedal. Do not hesitate to purchase a Klon Centaur clone, you will be glad you did.

How does your Klon Klone compare with the XXX one? Are there any Youtube clips?

Derrick in Houston,TX

Hi Derrick,

Oh boy, I am afraid to step on this one. The old chestnut of an argument, "how can you compare something I have never owned or tried..."

I can safely say, that after building many of these neat Klon clones, that they are pretty darn good. The people that have purchased an assembled unit from me, and the many professional amplifier builders all report excellent results. This resulted in repeat sales, of multiple orders, which makes me happy, not entirely because of the money, as it is not that much, but because I like this new exciting area of electronics.

One older customer who has played as a professional guitar player for 35 years, tried this side by side with an early gold Klon Centaur, and states they are as close as can be, and it sounds good, sounds damn good! Nice for the readily available price.

This test was done with the custom built Canary gloss yellow Klon clone at my website. Nice looker. The customer likes the Beatles, and has dubbed it "The Yellow Submarine," with many applied water slide decals. Photos soon at my website.

I will be using a newly built Klon clone through possibly several amplifiers, but most notable a Soldano SLO, as one of my favorite players is Warren Haynes, who uses both a Klon Centaur Gold and a SLO. Nice combo in my book.

I will be doing a professional audio mixed and plain video of a youtube demo in the next 10 days with the SLO amp, and many guitars. I am a Fender Strat person, and I like the sounds of the Klon clone a lot. The professional audio and plain video will be shown on my website: http://www.buildyourowntone.com

The lousy compressed audio version will be shown on youtube. The high quality audio will be better to judge the sound and tone at my website. I am not a professional guitar player by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like to rock out!

My prototype Klon clone, that is a plain jane bare aluminum job is actually on tour with a Western Canadian band helping support their unique guitar sound and new CD. The band is "Scatterheart," and the guitar player played with local band "Bif Naked," which has a beautiful girl lead singer, with the biggest, exotic eyes that will bore through your soul!

A long time, jaded guitar store employee in Vancouver, BC Canada heard the Klon clone prototype played in person by a signed recording artist and was actually impressed, which takes some doing these days. This was done through a vintage amplifier, and I was very impressed. Got to talking too much, and I myself did not get to play a very nice vintage Jackson RR edition guitar through this vintage amplifier with my own Klon clone. I like to schmooze, LOL!

I like to play classic early 70's rock to the heaviest of the heavies, and the Klon clone makes me sweat and smile! I just can not stop playing! Many folks in the USA, and even that Vancouver, BC Canada recording artist have asked for slightly more "GAIN."

I stated perhaps, I will add this feature, but what gives? The Klon clone can belt out wicked heavy high gain tone with nice sustain. It is all "subjective," with player, guitar, amplifier and most importantly the settings of all, including the player. If you are not feeling it that day, or moment, everything will sound like crap.

I know, I am repeating what has been said many times before, "you gotta like your tone already, before the Klon clone can enhance your sound."

Bill Finnegan, and his long ago hired gun EE (now deceased in a tragic airplane crash during the late 90's) created a very unusual, unique design that has stood the test of time. Huge kudos to Bill.

Many people are afraid to use the GAIN, while others want more of it...I like all the Klon clone sounds, that I have built.

What makes a Klon clone better, in my opinion? You have choices. Choices for different TONE chips, different germanium diodes, or even low cost readily available signal diodes, if you prefer just for fun. At least it can be easily repaired, if need be.

It is a no nonsense little circuit, and I am grateful it has nothing to do with my old video signal re-creation business, which involved analog cable decoders/ descramblers, etc.

I have adopted "Ming the Merciless," as a personal moniker, because I was hated, and dreaded by the large cable TV companies, and I knew that I would be the most hated person in the boutique pedal business, as this was discussed and predicted over a year ago, at my favorite steak house. This prediction came so very true, I wish I had made the huge monetary bet on this.

BTW, Texas, is probably te front runner for the most Klon clone circuit board and Klon clone kit sales. Texas, go BIG, or go home! I like Texas! Texans, think like I do. If it is in the way, mow it down, or roll over it, baby! No mercy from Ming!

Cheers,
Raymond Goncalves
