[@fivewattworld]

Nice batch of Centaur clones you’ve got there Josh! How about “SOVTEK: A Short History”? You’d work on that right?

[@seanhershey3390]

Yes!...:)

[@richardhighsmith]

Collab?

[@ahriik]

The Sovtek story is Josh's life's work. You should put out a short history before he does, it would break him

[@richardhighsmith]

Also Keith - Did they ever make the Sovtek amp in White?

[@johnjacoLMSW]

yes, the Klon is overhyped but I want one. When I heard Jeff Beck uses one, bazinga! But supply and demand dictate what's happening. I totally agree that any circuit can be replicated if the necessary parts are available. loved the addition of the black box when playing solo while demoing the clone before the boss.

[@guitarsimon1]

Josh is not the myth debunker the 21st century internet deserves, but he’s the one it needs.

[@michaelkim4743]

Thank you for factoring in pot tolerance! Most other "shootouts" drive me crazy when they set the knobs exactly the same and everyone comments how they can hear a difference. Thanks for demonstrating the power of dialing tone in with your ears!

[@LukePayneMusic]

I had an actual dream this morning where Josh released the Oxford, his Bonsai/RatPack take on the Klon. I realized after thinking about it that there aren’t enough distinct tones in the lineage of this circuit to make that work, especially not without burning through the goodwill of his pedal making friends. Still, it was a fun dream, and the box with the little dictionary shaped book with a centaur on its cover seemed JHS worthy.

[@BrianSGuitars]

This band should be named "Someone Mute Their Mic". I have the RYRA Klone. Love it gain cranked!

[@szczerzo]

And they should announce last song with "Josh, your mic is on"

[@mattheimbaugh5471]

I want one. Curious, does it clean up well with the guitar volume knob?

[@ellobocafe5017]

I'm going to throw my penny into this endless puddle of coins. Fingers crossed. Josh, my friend, please create a Bonsai style Klon Clone that encapsulates the various klons. Call it the Klone Wars. (yes, clone with a K) This may be a terrible idea, but I would buy it and use it. Peace and bubbles.

[@jmacias7823]

I like this idea. I worked on a personal Klon history video with the Tone Consultant, and HomeWrecker Pickups coming out called the "Klontroversey". Really cool how it shows from a touring/session players view

[@kidcoastless8575]

This would be absolutely sick

I mean why ? They'd all sound the same

[@tomasorrtiz]

I always think of Wampler's Tumnus Deluxe when the topic of klones comes up

[@stevenorton7585]

Yea it's a much better klon on yr pocket book plus gets in right there

[@cliftongardner4367]

I literally burst out laughing the moment that Josh started A/Bing the Caline Pegasus against the Klon and there was no discernible difference whatever.

[@edwardmakabling418]

I have that Caline Pegasus before my main drive. Sometimes using it as a boost or crack clean sound. Funny thing is it doesn't have any paint in the surface and most of my friends thought its a Klon

[@Soldano999]

Well to its credit the pegasus is actually prettu good.

[@Soldano999]

@william ballato well if you bought a Klon two years ago you can make a huge profit by reselling it now...

[@Mr.D34]

Same thing here, it was just unbelievable 🙂 Kudos to Josh for mentioning and playing with these pedals, i mean the guy basically has every pedal ever made, he could have been a snob and only play with the most expensive ones. Thanks Josh for being an awesome guy 🙂

[@RowdyGrunt]

I'm a guitar to Amp guy, I enjoy pedals sparingly, never watched a long form video about pedals; but this episode was fantastic! I hate that it ended! And now I want a Klon... And a fuzz... And... Well done! I'm going to enjoy your other videos!

[@NewFalconerRecords]

It's the simple homemade nature and story of this pedal that makes it so special. That hand-built look about it with the not-so-slick, and changeable, graphics (and colour combinations). And the fact that you know that one guy built all of them himself, personally. This is the opposite of cold industrial mass production. It has personality, humanity and warmth -- I think that's much of this pedal's appeal.

[@iambeetle]

So, Bill doesn’t have the capacity to make Klon to meet the demand, and Josh is a honest guy, why not partner up and have JHS make a licensed real Klon and give part of the profit back to Bill?

[@55PENSFAN2]

A Centaur in the current JHS housing/style/quality? Thats certainly a cash cow

[@less_concerned1221]

I’d buy one!

[@ahsleywithabeard]

Preach!!

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

Lets be real here. Alot, and I mean alot, of manufacturers already proposed this and it didn't happen. What's preventing this to be done is just Bill's will. Think about this. If your product was worth thousands in the resell market, and you had some of your own, and by some it could be a hundred for all we know, it's practically a lifelong savings guarantee for you and your loved ones. Would you be willing to flood the market again with the same product and therefore get rid of that lifelong savings guarantee ? And no, the Klon remake he made with Archer is not the same product. And he knows it. If you have any idea how the stock market works, this would be the equivelent of buying stocks, and then crashing the market price for said stocks while holding those. It makes no sense. So I get what Bill is doing, and I respect it. He isn't upfront about it, probably because he would get bashed and hate by every politically correct person, but it makes sense.

[@Mathcartney]

@@MiguelBaptista1981 yeah, but eventually the ones that he still have gonna end. Its hard to think about others actions but making a partnership with the right side in some cases can led to much more money than the stock approach, but to each their own. I would probably be a happy person if lets say the jim dunlop company came to my door and asked about buying/making a partnership and then sending me a cool percentage of the yearly or month sells, both sides would be winning by making a shitload of money, having the original klon circuit shit on their marketing and all the customers that like that thing and, the guys that pay 4k for a pedal are a minority and they would pay that anyway for the 90s klon despite what are in the market now, but think about the thousand of other people (professionals or not, thats a huge thing) that would pay 200 dollars for lets say the hypoteticaly jim dunlop pedal. In a year the dude would make more money this way than idk selling his remakes or making that sharehold play, you know, he could asks instead of a cash payment, a percentage of the companys stock, so he could do the same game as you're talking but in a more solid and safer way, but whatever.

[@grillman7170]

For someone that claims ever so often that he is not responsible for the Klon hype, Bill surely tried to hype up his diodes.

[@lomoholga]

Good point

[@joshjohnson9097]

I misread that last word 😳

[@Zettel9016]

He did not try to hype anything to you. His diodes were different and couldn't be replicated and he said "good luck" to Josh in cloning his circuit. That's it.

You guys knocked it out of the park in many ways- One of those being your jamming together. if you haven’t already, you really should consider creating a JHS Jam Sessions episode. I am absolutely loving your impromptu licks and compositions. There’s some magic there and I wish you guys would explore it. As far as the pedals go, I went down the KLON rabbit hole about a year and a half ago now. I got on the waitlist for the Mythos Wildwood Mjolnir KLON clone and can’t wait to try it out. Anyway keep doing what you’re doing, I absolutely love your channel and it would be so cool to meet you guys one day.

Way Huge Conspiracy Theory was my favorite Klone, I’ve tried more expensive boutiques including the Archer Ikon, etc. but that one just was such a good pedal. Currently rocking the Sugar Drive and that seems to get it done too. It’s a very cool circuit but there’s certainly nothing magical about the Klon Centaur in 2020. Buy a Klone of some kind and rock on, from dirt cheap to fancy and expensive they all can sound very very good and will have more similarities than differences.

[@ChrisBucheit]

Great show guys! As long as you're planning more shows featuring the Klon and Klones hear's an idea: I understand that the diode doesn't really kick in until some noticeable gain starts to happen, but for guys like me that's where the magic is for clean sounds especially for Jazz! This is where I think I can sense differences in the different Klones I've tried and owned, not only with subtle sound differences but also with the feel under the fingers. I bring up the gain until I can hear and feel the diode kicking in. It would be cool for you guys to do another shoot-out with this in mind! Thanks for considering.

Colour box is my favorite pedal ever created and when it is paired with a klon, you can hear angels crying

[@pedrozee78]

I think that the sound of the Klon is fantastic and like the tube screamer is its own defined thing. But because of the mystery surrounding the Centaur with the gooping and the Russian diod its just escalated in a world thats connected via the web. The players that own them that are in the limelight you can literally just Google their pedal board. Add John Mayers black Centaur and the mysterious Blue one, it just adds to the mythos. Great vid.

I've built a couple of klones from kits. A common mod I've seen is separating the dual gang gain pot, to give more control over the "blend" between clean and dirty signal. What I mean is having 2 separate pots. One for dirty and one fore clean signal. Have you done this? Thoughts?

I’m currently at a world class studio. We’re recording with an early original gold centaur. They had this pedal for well over a decade. It’s a professional tool that’s important to have in such settings. That being said, I got a NU-X for my kid and we a/b compared them. It’s pretty close and can be dialed to perfection with a little bit of eq. A real ‘53 blackguard Tele and a Kendrick amp completes this specific chain, so... aim for the tone in your mind, with the tools that you have and play and have fun! A cool Squire Tele with a good replacement pickup, a decent tube amp and a $69 clone will get you 99.99 % as close to the expensive setup, if you know what are you aiming for while dialing for your sound. At the end of the day, it’s all between your fingers and your ears.
