This... It's a weird pedal, because the drive knob isn't a drive modifier, it's a mixer. The circuit effectively has a TS style drive side, and a clean boost side. The guitar signal is split to go through both, and then summed back together again through the circuit controlled by the drive knob. Little bit of secret sauce in the clipping diodes, exceptionally high clean headroom in the boost circuit due to pedal running at double the rail voltage of most drive pedals and boosts. For anyone that's saying it's emperor's new clothes, it isn't. It was revolutionary when it came out because it has exceptionally good feel and transparency, and is an amazing clean boost. It also has failings in that it doesn't clean up that well when you roll the volume back, and could be seen as a bit of a 2-trick pony.If it were that easy, aside from the other drama, I'm sure it would have been added a while ago. I'll bet it's that much different from normal drives it will take some re-work to get it in here.
I just ordered a KTR. I'm not making any promises as the topology doesn't fit any of our existing topologies but I'll see what I can
And painfully honest as he always seems to be, Bill only showed one half of the circuit by playing bypassed or full dirt. There is plenty in between those that is genuinely amazing. I'll maybe buy a new model KTR if I can find one (the diodes don't bother me, I built enough clones over the years to figure out that diodes were key, but Bill F spent some time working round that, quite clearly). I'd love to have one in the Axe FX III, but I have a pretty good feel for how they work, so without cloning in the Axe FX III, my life will probably not change much. Awesome to hear from the horse's (centaur's? ) mouth, mind you. Thanks for sharing.Pretty interesting from the man himself:
THANK YOU x100000Klon model added to 20.03.
Hell just froze over.wait what
Wait - is it April Fools Day?Klon model added to 20.03.
That would be Khan. Or a shortened nickname for Klingon.What’s a Klon? Isn’t that a nemesis on Star Trek?
Ok …shoot me
It's great!Just read the opinions on the Klone drive block. Shit. Wish I had a Axe3. Feeling pretty dang jealous. Congrats guys!!
