That is something I have never seen before. I paid $98.00 for a clone of the original. The feedback supports that. My buddy in London has the real one and he paid a lot for the stupid thing. I was these asking him to give me that one and get a newer one. That is how great they are! I have never played out of anything like that in my life. Well he bought the same clone as I did. He takes everything apart. The parts are identical to the real one. That is why I skipped the $54.00 job and went big Bucks for the $98.00 job. I hope that foreign bastard is not messing with me. I told him the gross job a kidney does at breakfast. He had a plate of the pee bombs. Yuck that!

You are great! I do thank you of course. Very thoughtful and I not good enough to pick out the fine details. The guitar player did point out what I should hear.
I already bought this gold painted one.

I have always put my delay in the front of my amp. They seem to do their best the preamp. I have my Boss Chorus on most of the time for a full wall of sound. I did the same with the reverb, it caused a hint of congestion. Clean sound never! This effects madness is what the electric guitar is all about.

I run most of my effects in the loop due to the amount of gain that my Peavey 6534+ generates in the preamp of its lead channel. Only boost and overdrive out front

I have the Echoplex tape delay and the preamp for it. I was told this is very close in behavior to the real tape delay that Van Halen uses from way back in the 70s. I tried it in the loop but it is much more real at the preamp. When I work I only take a small board with five pedals. Those Dunlop/MXR are two of the five. My main big amp has no loop, and I have no problem with any pedals. I prefer a loop but I deal with out it sometimes.

I assembled a BYOC clone of a Silver Klon Centaur... Sweet Mama of boost/overdrives... :celebrate:

This video provided all the GAS I would need:
 
To me my pedal is a living thing. Odd thing to say but it changes as the need for it change. My tone for playing on stage is consistent. I do make adjustments for different music. Testing pedal location is a full time thing job if you let be. Some beg to be infront and some really shine in the loop. Some pedal just plain suck and are out dated. New stuff comes out all the time with new lies to be told. I know I am being lied to by so many of these pedal, guitar and amp companies. The whole industry is a buyer beware just like so many other things in our lives. Buy a car lately? I'm just an old rocker trying to keep up and not seem that out of place.
 
Thanks to Big Daddy and my new Flashback, I was able to ditch a Zoom MS70 CDR. So I added a Wampler Velvet Fuzz. First impressions...WOW!

Let it be known that I have never met a fuzz that I liked, but this...WOW.

It starts like an OD with some minimal fuzz stacked on. At about 2pm, it gets to be the type of fuzz that most fuzz pedals sound like at 10:30. Even with the gain (fuzz) is cranked and it is in "big" mode, it does not get flubby. If it does, the brightness switch will roll back the low end without thinning the sound. So...WOW

I also add an inexpensive wireless system that is apparent on the right of the top tier of my board, which I still have not posted on.

The Klon real at $2,000 plus and the copies sound the same. We opened them both up and a good copy had the same coronets as the high price one. My friend builds computers and knows cheap parts from good. They have the identical stuff. I an a little surprised.

That surprises me not one iota.
To me the whole original Klon mystique is a big pile of hooey.
I have played through 3 of them and none of them sounded
any better than the low gain side of a Wampler Hot Wired.
2K+ for an average sounding dirt pedal?
No thank you.

The guy I know orders all the the parts for the computer company. He can recognize cheap from good. He saw both real and the fake as being the same and both of the same clever design.

I am in no way implying that a Wampler Hot Wired sounds bad.
I am using it to say that to my ears half of a $260.00 pedal sounds
just as good if not better than an overhyped $2,000.00 plus pedal.
I highly recommend the Wampler Hot Wired.
(The high gain side is excellent too.)

View attachment 8479 A question as we are talking about pedals. I just bought a clone centaur pedal. The real ones are too much money but they are fantastic. Does anyone know of theses fakes.

I was reading this morning while checking the Lovepedal sale out a thread where someone asked about that 1. Suppose to be the same pedal as the Creme' Brulee? I think it was in their Black Friday thread.
 
My current board: setting are a little off as a dusted them off a little for the pic :p

You took the dust off your pedalboard ???!!!
Are you completely insane ??!!
You probably destroyed all the good sounds it had.
Can you put the dust back or did you throw it away?
That may have been super-duper mojo dust.
OH!
MY!
GOD!
:eek:
