My Christmas gift to me is shipping out soon: a brand new Klon KTR! This was an impulse decision; I really thought about a new acoustic or a new electric or an amp head or even more inexpensive pedals, until I just stumbled upon a website that had KTRs selling new for their original list price of 270 dollars. I called to make sure it wasn't an error and that they were actually in-stock ("oh yeah, we have them, they're selling like hotcakes" the man told me. I believe him). I impulse bought the thing and now it should be shipping soon. I just felt like it was a unique piece of history, and possibly something to hold onto for years to come. And hopefully, it will be a great OD pedal, too. After the OCD and DS-1, maybe I'm gonna start collecting classic OD and distortion pedals... This is bad... Really bad...
Congrats that's a great pedal! I've been using a Klon clone a friend built and it really is a sweet overdrive. I've been alternating between that and a JHS Angry Charlie and both work really well for what I like to hear out of my amp. The Klon does subtle a little better than the JHS, which can get pretty hairy if you want it to.
It's here!... ... Although, sadly, in the white cardboard box it shall remain until Mrs. Claus puts it under the tree.
