MXR Duke Of Tone: Watch this Before You Buy it | King Of Tone Comparison | Gear Corner

[@davel_ggw]

Something to remember is that no matter the brand/quality, there is a good amount of variance between potentiometers. So, just setting two of them to the same place visually in no way means that their impact on the circuit is the same. They always have to be adjusted by ear. That would apply to the volume, gain, and tone knobs and the treble pot inside. For what it's worth, in Analog Mike's own video, he gets his dialed in to sound basically exactly like his KoT. Cheers!

[@perudolux]

👍 exactly to the point. When comparing, you should adjust by ear and not just applying the same settings

[@RiffMusic1970]

Agree. A couple clips sounded darker on the MXR. Shoulda turned the tone up a little.

[@shichen4805]

Exactly.

[@gooberthoreau]

It killed me in the video when he talked about opening up the pedal and setting the trims to the exact same position and he made a comment that not making the settings identical ruins the point of the shootout. Lol, setting them visually the same ruins the point of a shootout.

[@astewart9410]

I will be buying the MXR when it's out, been waiting a while for it. It's so close (to my ears) and for my unprofessional playing, it'll be more than enough goodness!

[@sublyme2157]

Great point about how the pedals will sound in a mix. Most guitarists either no longer play in bands or never have and never will, and that's ok (guitar is fun!). The minor details that guitarists like to argue over are completely irrelevant when playing live. In my experience of playing live (from the mid 90s to last year) the sound guy and the venue's acoustics have much more influence on our tone than anything on our boards, and a lot of the frequencies we love at home have to be dialed out in order to properly sit in a mix anyway. Plus, the audience will never ever know or care about our gear, they just want the band to sound good. :)

[@m0j0b0ne]

My experience, also. In the context of a loud band in a bar, the subtleties go right out the window; a crowd of drunks neither hears nor cares. I had the most amazing technology, the Line6 Variax, able to swap guitars, dobros, banjos, six and twelve string, electric sitar and even alternate tunings at the twirl of a knob and nobody even noticed. They care even less about a pedal they can't even see, and don't know it's there.

[@aryehwiznitzer9060]

Totally agree. Not to annoy bedroom people too much, but a performing musician - you aren't looking for some mystical sense of legendary tone. As stated above, need to have your instrument eq-ed to a spot in the mix where it won't get lost among a loud drum kit and some other loud instruments, and then you need something that helps you cut through for solos or single line work. No one can tell a price of tone or a duke of tone or a king of clone, etc. There's no way. Also the thing about the pots everyone is going to say.

[@dannyaberjel1021]

Yo dude, since the duke came out i've watched all of it's reviews and this is by far the best one. kudos, great job!

[@robertkorn]

I'd love to see these videos done as blind comparisons, I guarantee most commenting that the MXR pedal is "missing something" would have a difficult time telling them apart or possibly prefer the MXR in some situations.

[@KrisBarocsi]

The differences are really small and way more relevant to the player (if it's a picky one like me) than to the listener. 😅 Equally great pedals these two with a slightly different feel.

[@tonepoet]

Good points made here. That's snob appeal of the cork sniffers. 99.9% of the people in the world would never be able to tell the difference, and even less with a full band together.

[@chipsterb4946]

Record the dry guitar and play the same loop through both pedals … I guarantee most people couldn’t tell the difference.

[@crigonalgaming1258]

Lol even 2 same pedals under the same maker and same components would still sound technically different because of parts tolerances. Helllooo we can recreate mobile phones relatively consistently. I don't see how that isn't possible with effects pedals that have 50's technology.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I agree. People "Hear with their Eyes" thats Why: I prefer the Blind Sound Comparisons so you get a True assessment and make an Unbiased choice . . . " Facts "

I've been on the waiting list for over a year! Saw this instantly bought this for time being very excited!

[@thseed7]

I love that Analogman was willing to collaborate with MXR to make these. I would love a King of Tone but can't justify spending the money for it and suffering the current 4+ year wait. 75% of the original's tone and a couple of weeks of waiting is pretty great.

[@floydLmiller]

Thanks for this great comparison video. I'm just listening through my computer and did not notice the nuanced differences until you pointed them out.

[@tonylocke1214]

Very interesting comparison. I actually prefer the MXR, so I’ve saved myself a few years, and a few hundred bucks…

[@fredstgelais]

Me too! Slightly low mids without getting muddy. That said, I think if one were to adjust the setting with their ears and not their eyes, both pedals could achieve the exact same result.

Such a cool intro track Kris! Definitely should be on your album (in a longer version) when you record it finally! 😉 🤩

[@KrisBarocsi]

Aww man, thanks!! You’re the best.

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

I found the biggest issue on the new MXR Duke of Tone is the internal treble trim pot. It should be labeled as presence not treble and it appears to work as a hi-cut so when turned all the way up the presence is not adding too much brightness. It should ship that way! I love the boost and dist modes but not the OD. Sounds like clean and dirty tone are separated

[@rhymeskill]

Great demo, but you should turned the treble up a little to add more clarity to the MXR. Settings can vary from the same pedal to pedal.

[@123Ir0nman]

It's worth mentioning that the Duke and Prince of tone are based on one side of the KOT with the high gain mod. Analog Mike mentioned that in an interview in another video

[@KrisBarocsi]

Yes, true! Same as my KoT, which has the high gain mod. 👍

[@PhishBanjo]

Thanks for the great review! I appreciate your conclusions, especially since I'm not too familiar with the King of Tone.

[@thefryinallofus]

Awesome summary!

[@orryfishburne5326]

I think its crazy (not surprising though) that according to my Sweetwater sales rep that the preorders are just about sold out and they wont see a next wave until sometime 2023. Idk how it is with other stores that offer a preorder around the world, but its just crazy to me that there is so much demand for the KoT, PoT, DoT that even the intended mass produced version is still getting back ordered and it hasnt even released yet.

[@mikeoxley4458]

Really good comparison demo! The Duke sounds extremely close. I currently have the Prince and King (borrowed) on my board. The Prince in Boost mode with the gain all the way up imparts a rounder OD with some clarity. I haven’t gotten the King to do that.

[@brianrollins7275]

I just reserved my spot for one of these at Zzounds. I’m very excited to finally be able to have a pedal that Analogman made or had something to do with. I’m sure me and my telecaster or going to love it. Can’t wait to get one. Obviously the KOT is the Grandfather of them all and is the King for a reason but I’m so happy they have finally catered to the poor man guitarist. Making this circuit available to the average bedroom player at an affordable price is a godsend. Kudos to MXR and Analogman.

[@ajsrhodes]

I would like to see a comparison of the Duke of Tone to the Prince of Tone. I’ve always thought that the KOT and POT had some differences in sound and response. Curious to see how the DOT and POT compare side by side

[@fraenkiboii]

Wooo did you double track the intro? Let me guess, it's the double track feature of the captor!? Sounds amazing. Oh and I decided to sell my KoT. After all the myth, hype, waiting and tears. The hype is suddenly gone and I like other BB style pedals more. Especially the JHS MG, the Snouse BB and the Timmy (from MXR). My go to sound will always be Klone into one of those. That's my conclusion after 10 years playing guitar.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Hey man, I double tracked the intro song. One take (the one I filmed) on the left side and another one for the right side of the mix. Yeah, you know how it is, the King of Tone is an amazing pedal but it's not perfect for everyone. Same as every other overdrive, it has to click with the player. Those other pedals are super cool too so I get it. Such luck we all have different tastes. Imagine everyone liking the exact same gear and sounding the same. That'd be boring af. 😆

[@ericjenks9596]

It sounds good to me! I have a prince of tone and just recently had my king of tone arrive after 4.6 years of waiting. I’m kind of curious to pick on of these up for the hat trick of all three, 😂

[@riklionheart23]

You’ll have the whole royal family 🤣

[@eddlabel]

Screw it all. KoT and PoT have their mojo. Period. Grab the MXR, feel it and go ahead spend more money if the sound is really what you want and you have the greens to make it. Great video as always!

Duke sounds a HAIR brighter than the KOT, but then again, I used to have a POT and recall the same thing about the POT vs. KOT. But for the price and size, it's so darn close that I couldn't every see paying for a KOT when you can get the Duke. Nice job on the demo!

I've been on the waiting list for a KOT for almost 3.5 years. I will continue to hold out. However, it is very cool that MXR is doing a prince version.

[@lance134679]

If I was really pressed to choose based on these samples, the KOT is the winner for it's slightly clearer attack in a few of the samples. I think the Duke of Tone is going to be very popular because it's still a very versatile Bluesbreaker-style pedal with 3 clipping options. Now we just need the Earl of Tone by Tone City pedals. 😀 Thanks for the demo.

[@patrickoneill8248]

Both tones are great! Every pedal can fit the sound of a song that it's supposed to fit. I use my POT in like every wrong "typical way" for a couple songs during my bands sets. I use it for that nice standard over drive sound for like one song. But where I found it sounds best for MY BAND is funny enough in the distortion setting. Volume and gain at like 3 o'clock. I have my Union over drive now that I use for my always on warm over drive. But yea so, you don't need to listen to trends to use a pedal for your tone lol

[@wimjacobs4075]

Great shootout! I already have the PoT, and I am on the list for the KoT (still a few years to wait for it though), so I think I'll skip the DoT. Although having the DoT next to the PoT on my board could be a bit like already having the KoT? Would it? I do have to remember your gold version KoT. When it's my turn finally, I might get it with that finish as well. Would be nice on my board next to the Keeley Super Phat Mod and the Wampler Tumnus to form a golden gain triumvirate...

[@KrisBarocsi]

Ohh dude, a golden pedal trio that is. 🙌 Yeah go for it! I’d skip the DoT in your place if you don’t want to stack the sides. But if you’re into that, the DoT PoT combo would be a really cool „kinda KoT“.

[@elchelch11]

GREAT Duke of Tone shootout Kris. Thanks a lot. Did you ever do a ´King of Blues´ V2 Overdrive (Tone City) shootout? Would be great if you could share your highly skilled listening experience. In case you tested against KOT or DOT would be great to hear about the outcome of that. Concerning your perception of the ´clearness´or ´clarity´ of the KOT sound I just want to subscribe: it´s not been reached by any other device (to my opinion). The way Mike Piera tests and chooses his diodes and components to be used in KOT is really unique. I do think you can hear it anytime unless you do have a live-equip that kills that ´clarity´. To be fair, a skilled ear (listening capability) is what helps a lot in immediately getting the width and feel of that clarity. THANKS for SHARING the KING OF BLUES shootout (in case you did it).

It’s my understanding that the Duke of Tone was made in collaboration with Analog Mike, so it’s his circuit backed by a large distribution network. I don’t see a problem with that at all especially if it can be affordably made.

I’m on the list. In the meantime I have a Prince and a Duke side by side on my board. Once I get the King, I might keep the other two, so the King doesn’t get stolen at a bar gig.

Kris - You also need a pretty good amp + guitar + cables + all high end you enjoy at your place (including yourself) to qualify for the difference YOU hear... Nice demo.

[@stickylizardbabyangel]

Hey, Kris! You really are a fantastic musician, Thanks for these videos. I’ve listened to it accurately and my two cents’d be: Bump discreetly the treble pot in the Duke, as well as a minor gain increase would be welcome. The lesser definition could be resolved by a pre-eq low-cut

Great comparison, I think the King has a bit of extra magic but it should to keep that allure and legendary status. The Duke is a killer option at $150.

[@DanFlashes99]

Does it though? In a non-blind comparison like this video, I am also tempted to think the KoT has some "extra magic." However I've watched a few blind A/B comparisons and in both cases, I preferred the DoT when I didn't know what was what!

[@crigonalgaming1258]

There's no "allure" or "legendary" status. It's the same 50's technology. We live in an era where we can replicate more complex tech like computers consistently. What you hear is the parts tolerances, where, even the same manufacturer, with the same components can produce 10 pedals in a row, and will find minor differences between them.

[@CradleRawk]

For 150 bucks I’d have ordered already. Alas here in Europe it’s €220! The mxr Timmy is just €159 here, so maybe it’ll come down, but I’m not holding my breath. I got my KOT exactly a year ago and with shipping, VAT and duties it was still only about €315, expensive but not that much more than this mxr, certainly far less than the price of two mxr dukes

[@rustyl.6358]

I'm a Les Pail player. I'm years into my wait for the KoT. The MXR just didn't do it for me next to the KoT. I have some great OD pedals already. I won't be adding the MXR pedal to my board. Appreciate the well done comparison.

[@bluzzjazz]

I think the DOT sounds really good. I’ve got an original gooped Zendrive, so don’t feel the need to wait 5 yrs for a pedal. Between that and an Xotic Effects Souldriven and Mad Professor Bluebird, the OD canvas is pretty well covered.

[@musicmnw1982]

[@ramilrodriguez8340]

Well, there are definitely differences that I can clearly hear. I guess it need to be like that from the selling companies perspectives. Close enough for people to like and buy, different enough for people to still want the king. I build pedals myself and listening to your comparison I feel like there is some tweaking on some components values to reduce the bass response or an overall narrower frequency response. Maybe it’s just different brands and quality components. Superb playing, as always!!

[@timholtguitar6999]

Never owned a KOT, but the Duke is awesome. It’s one of my favorite drive pedals. Worth it, In my book. 😊

[@MrRrrrene]

I could be wrong here....but....whenever you'd play the Duke you seemed to dig into the notes a little bit more. They both sound fantastic and of course your playing is superb. For impatient tone seekers the MXR would probably be way more available, but, is it as desirable? Hmmm.... Well once again thanks brother for sharing your talents with us all. Laundry time....!

[@caradogas]

Both sounded amazing IMO. Of course, there's the player in the equation as well. A bit more treble with the DoT in some examples, but still sounding great.

Like most clones, they sound more like each other as you turn the gain up. At lower gain settings the difference is more apparent.

For me personally, the small size is an issue. Same with the Timmy. I would like both and I do like how both of them sound, but I don't like these tiny pedals with tiny knobs.

[@steveliberty]

Over KZbin, playing back through my M-AUDIO BX5 monitors (nothing special, but pretty good), I mostly couldn't hear a difference between the KOT and the MXR DOT. The lasy few playing examples might have shown the DOT to be a little bit brighter. But to your point, in the mix, noone would hear the differences. The MXR seems like a no-brainer if you are in the market for a Blues Breaker / Prince of Tone / King of Tone - tiny, the designer gets a cut (ie: an authorized copy), and it sounds great.

[@Dizzydre21]

The internal pot being in the same position as the KoT doesn't mean the pots are set the same. To my ear, the DoT sounds slightly brighter/treble-ier and I would probably bump down the treble pot a little. Still sounds great though.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Hey, I know, I set the internal pot of the DoT to sound as close as possible to the KoT. It is a little brighter indeed. If you turn down the treble knob though it looses that “KoT sparkle” and sounds much darker. That’s why I went for the setting I ended up using. Cheers!

[@TheBeriking]

Hi Chris great demo and fantastic playing. Through the admittedly not great speakers of my iPad, they both sounded very close. The only noticeable difference seemed to be on the Les Paul, with more bottom end for the King, and this sense of more “oomf”. The Duke more than held its own and sounded really good. Looks like a great option, I would be happy to have one, even as a backup in case something happens to the KOT. Today of all days is a reminder that sometimes, a Duke can become a King…

[@KrisBarocsi]

[@CocuMagnifique]

All of the differences you mentioned, safe for the low end, may come down to potentiometer value tolerance and the low end itself may be a question of a different pre-gain low cut filter value. I'd love to see a comparison of the resistance measurements for the gain, volume, tone & presence pots. I wonder if this is what it boils down to. Care to check, Kris? I know you have a multimeter at hand :)

[@agriff4795]

Yes, the Prince of Tone is hand-built, but in China, not in the USA. I was wrong about that part, but Mike Piera designed it for MXR, apparently as half of the standard gain King of Tone, unlike The Prince of Tone, which is half of a high gain King of Tone.
