Members hosebeast Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 this thing sounds good, but overdrive is the least important effect ever. i couldn't imagine spending more than like, MAYBE $100 on making my overdrive tone a little better, but nothing more. who here has been stupid enough to pay an entire month's minimum wage salary on one of these things?

Members ambient Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Because you make more than minimum wage and consider overdrive the most important effect? After all, OD is more of a tone thing (it's important to have a solid base tone) than an effect like delay or flanger. That said, $800 is ridiculous.

Members Pewtershmit Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 this thing sounds good, but overdrive is the least important effect ever. Maybe for you! I'm not defending the klon in particular, but for me, fine tuning my distorted tones is what being an electrical guitar player is all about.

In what world is overdrive the least important effect ever? Signed, Every guitarist since the dawn of eternity that has some variant of a Tubescreamer or SD-1 (or hell, even an LPB-1) on his board, even if he vehemently hates pedals because "TUBES."

Members Turd Furgison Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 i can think of quite a few reasons to pay that kind of money for a klon, just off of the top of my head.... 1. it is the color of gold 2. it has a horsie-man 3. ...

Members Parah Salin Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 If you're making minimum wage are you really thinking about Klons?

Members sommy Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 overdrive actually second most important. right after ring mod and boss enhancer(which are tied for first) Actually, A/DA Harmony Synth is most important, I think.

Members milk. Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 Actually, A/DA Harmony Synth is most important, I think. i wont play guitar without that harmony synth. but seriously OP I think I know what you meant, its not really important, mostly subtleties between overdrives, boss or tubescreamer knockoff gets the job done. whereas $30 digital phaser can not do moog phaser.

Members thom Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 If I had a nickel for every anti klon thread I'd have enough cash to buy one. This discussion's got to be as old as the internet itself. Couldn't keep myself from taking a peek anyway and say this: The conclusion's the same every single time, we all somewhat agree... Yes the klon is ridicilously expensive and probably not THAT much better then a $150ish overdrive. Get over it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members driverhasabomb Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's called disposable income. I see guys talking about paying $40+ for a slab of meat on a plate or $300 for a pair of blue jeans... that's a lot more insane to me than spending a lot of money on pedals.

Members nightraven Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 i feel the opposite way, overdrive to me is one of the least important effects because you can shape your tone so much by the way you pluck the strings, and if you find the right way you can get that sound with any kind of pedal. klon centaurs are purchased as investments or the having a cool pedal factor. klones are bought for the tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members less_cunning Posted February 15, 2011 Members Share Posted February 15, 2011 not everyone has a Klon. so you get to be in an super-exclusive club. that cache is factored into the pedal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
