Klon Centaur Demo; 1952 Les Paul 1965 Deluxe Reverb

[aektzis91]

Is that a stock les paul? how can it be from 1952, when humbuckers werent even invented until 1955...?

[gangtwanger]

The Klon has it's devotees, for sure, but if price/availability are an issue, you may want to try the Throbak Overdrive Boost. VERY-dynamic and does the Klon thing very-well, but is also has killer silicon and sil/germ fuzz & OD sounds. Very-versatile. Plus, you also get those killer Colorsound Overdriver sounds, which I love. Great for Beck, Gilmore, Neil Young, Marc Bolan, etc. If you want leads that cut through any mix, THIS is the pedal. Plus, that master-volume is a big help. Love that one.

you could get that clapton sound easy thanks

[iatemine]

Hot Damn! Thats Wishbone Ash! Haven't heard that since watching the Midnight Special back in the mid 70's! Awesome! :)

[TheDennisod]

What kind of amp are you using in this demo ?

[BluesinGuitarPro]

You're a great player! I loved everything you played dude!

[funkyjones]

Wishbone Ash!

[ashton8504]

i love the klon and its a good demo. but honestly youtube videos sound quality blows ass. so you cant really tell how great the klon is. the sound is sooooo compressed.

but nice try and thanks

[jazzupjazz]

nice for both klon and landgraff.thanx for vid:)

[stratoman01]

Hello,

just wanted to say I like your type of playing, you dont care about this boring shredding stuff and show some tasteful licks - you are on the right way...

By the way - I tested the Klon also in a shop and I agree- it sounds super, was too expensive for me but is brilliant.

Its good to see someone playing with taste.

[skydog46]

Thank you very much friend!!

[Oszych]

wow !

Your goldtop is superb !

[snotmale]

...there must be a hundred pedals that will give that tonal boost and intonation, it's not that special...

[djteleboy]

i agree! i wated 6 months for my klon and i thought it sucked.not worth 350 sounded like i was playing with a sock over my guitar.the ts8 blows it away and it's half the price.

[ballerdan21]

no kidding. i have a maxon od808 and its honestly better than the klon at boosting if you just turn up the vol and no gain

[djteleboy]

the klon sucks! I'VE had evey od pedal put there, using ibanez ts808, blows the klon away.take the extra 200 bucks and 4 months time and have some fun. THE KLON IS A HOAX. WAITING FOR ZENDRIVE TO COME! HOPE ITS THE ONE...

[skydog46]

You guys seem like quite the tone gurus. Got any vids so that I can check it out?

[skydog46]

Really? Then why don't you get one, and allow me the Klon?

[acidosmosis]

Mark Tremonti uses this pedal. The guy can have whatever gear he wants and he chose this pedal to use with his Mesa Boogie triple rectifiers.

It all depends on how you use it.

[Bradbssargdons]

those were some sweet licks. klons rule, id get one but i dont have 450 bucks laying around lol. my guitar is barely worth half that

[alltweed]

How was the KLON gain set?

Notice any compressed mid tones with klon as you go from 8:00 to 11:00 or does it retain an openess.

I tried a klon and noticed alot of mids introduced after 9:00. The sweet spot to my ears had gain at about 8:00 and output 11-12 treble to taste. Using strat custom vibrolux set up so tones may be more noticable with strat clean fender amp set up.

[Cainer666]

great ZZ tone there at the end!

[brich117]

very nice, i love the blues and blues-style classic rock... that blues lead you demonstrated sounded like chuck berry, gotta love it

[jasrv28]

thanks for the demonstration. i can hear the difference for sure. too bad the price is ridiculous.

[guitarcapo]

Nice baseball cap....Do you play baseball?

Oh, wait a minute. Are you bald?

[101pathfinder]

Does it matter if he is bald?!

[skwiddjergensen]

Dry wall, spring reverb, noisy humbuckers and alcohol. Whatever. Practices his standard hot licks well?

[skydog46]

Alcohol? Haha!!

[OFR]

Yeah, I think it's the video camera making the sound gritty in a bad, way. I bet it sounds right in the room, but the video doesn't translate well.

[MacReverb2]

To be honest, I can't really judge the Klon because I don't like the sound of the guitar itself. Those are really harsh humbuckers.

[skydog46]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Those damned harsh original PAF's.....LOL!!!!

[jbkorey]

shutup

[Rooster2120]

Great work Sky Dog! Thanks to you I modified my 1960 Les Paul with Bareknuckles PG Blues pups and it sounds like the original.

[richiepowa]

I have a klon too wonderfull pedal..

But it doesn't sound good with humbucker gibi guitar..

Strat+amp fender crunchy with volume sounds 1000 better with the klon than a gibi+marshall tone...

[skydog46]

You're nuts!

[richiepowa]

?

I didn't tell ya that so as to do any polemics I've just tell you my opinion ...

[jaikwillis]

sounds like the camera's mic can't handle the volume level of the amp, its peaking and you can't make out the tone well

[BlackRadio]

An EQ could do something similar. Probably even a Digitech Bad Monkey could do something similar.

[BlackRadio]

It got a tad bit louder/crunchy and a bit more compressed. A $50 pedal could do something pretty similar.

[skydog46]

Really? Which pedal? Got clips? Video? Love to hear it.

[IodioRS]

A little bit of fatness lol?

[mitwente]

Nice Wishbone Ash riffs! I love Blowin' Free! Nice tone.

[easeupjosh]

I think im going to fall asleep. This guy is an amazing combination of mediocre and boring.

[skydog46]

Why thank you very much!!!

[dcooper830]

That '52/'57 conversion guitar you have is to die for!! Great tone there!!

[iama]

there is virtually no difference in tone. maybe a little compression.

[SoloDallas]

Nice Danny. Got one Klon in the mail. Keep it up bro'

[skydog46]

You'll love it. Now you have to get the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo!!

[SoloDallas]

Ah. True :p

I had an original tape echo bud, the right one. Forget what it was. But oh well. I'll get it then. Have a demo with it?

[Hipal123A]

Awesome!

[mixooso]

Super cool demo...keep em coming!
