The pedal that occupies the Klon shaped-hole in my heart right now is the Lichtlearm Aquaria. The standard 3-knob layout, with an additional foot-switchable 4-band EQ. So you have Gain, Volume and Tone. And then Treble, Bass, Hi-mids, and Lo-mids. On top of that, it has three clipping modes, standard Klon Germanium, Schottky or Silicon diodes. I believe this is the most flexible Klone around, more so than the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe.

Which is kinda extraneous anyway. I thought about picking up a kilt for a while before settling on the old blood noise endeavors alpha haunt v2. Now THAT pedal is seriously one of my absolute favorites

This was powerful! Your parents didn't necessarily lie. They spoke from a position in which they hadn't taken the time to investigate whether what they were being taught was true or not. Some might call that ignorance; which, by the way, is far more easily forgiven than outright lying. But it is easy to adapt an attitude of conviction in ignorance when the arguments presented by your parents are emotional and have at least some root in facts. They were just missing the rest of the picture.

Should have looked at the Halcyon manual. The "adaptive" modes dynamically roll off the mid-range Klon hump the more gently you play and by working the guitar volume control. When used properly, the Halcyon will win the race. It's a dynamically controlled Klon.

The pedal is also a favourite of Josh Scott and was pretty popular through the late 60s and early 70s, where it wasn't always maxxed out ;) It is reckoned to be the pedal used on the original Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum Apparently used by Billy Gibbons in the early ZZ Top days I only really knew it as the pedal of choice for Randy California (played with Hendrix before he upped sticks and moved to the UK) and was the Guitarist (and main songwriter) with Spirit. Though sadly Spirit are now mostly known for a Led Zep plagiarism case and the their song (Fresh Garbage) being used as the intro for Pinks song Feel Good Time

Unfortunately the microphone can’t handle the volume (or the input gain of the audio interface is overloading (I’m sorry, English is not my native language)…, ‘cause what I hear, especially with the Mythos pedal, it sounds crazy good when Pete hits the first note and within a second the volume level drops and it alters the sound drastically into a wet farty fuzz. If it wasn’t for the three or four times when I could hear the magnificence of the pedal’s tone for just a second, I would have still wondered why Zach made such a bad sounding pedal, while in fact it sounds amazing. 😳 And then with the second pedal, the origin effects Halcyon, in the way they used the adaptive mode, there’s actually not much happening at all, because the great thing about that mode is the fact that it brightens up the tone when you play softly, so it doesn’t get muddy. You could compare it to a treble bleed on the volume control of your guitar. And then there’s the wonderful idea of the dry blend. A function that usually doesn’t work well on gain pedals, but on this pedal it works perfectly. Unfortunately it stayed on zero until the last guitar run and it didn’t get any attention. 😳 I’m sorry guys, you’ve done many great demos. This wasn’t one of those.
