This guitar pedal has a 4-YEAR waiting list, so I bought one 

Ok Tyler, now buy a late 60s Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face

I bet the $$$$ helps.

Mmm, great tone! Sounds exactly like my 68pedals King Of Clone

Do a Wampler Pantheon review please! It's a solid blues breaker OD that I'd like to see your take on. It's my favorite overdrive I've ever owned.

You should try the MXR one next to it now 🙂

It becomes like a contract based on investment bias. When you're invested, you tend to double down.

No fucking kidding !! I like what I hear but I'm not waiting years for anything . Hell I'm in my 50's I could Die before I got the Damn pedal LMAO ....

@@DeadShred9 the irony! I'm 46, and I think you just convinced me to get one. You should too, because it's not over, till the fat lady sings.

lol

I was on the waiting list for 4 years (2017) also, just recieved it August 2021, I read an article and signed up, and at the time it was supposted to be 2 years. It takes nothing to be on the list. Total price never changed and you have to respect Ananlogman for not raising the price its worth way more than the price I paid. Just get on the waiting list you love what it does to your sound. There are other pedals that come very close, or just by the Prince of tone which is one side of the King of tone. Im not giving up mine !!

You can just say Unicorn, That's the proper terminology 😂

It helps that he gets paid for buying the gear. (now at least. Before YT you're probably 100% right)

More like she knows this is his job and she likes to eat and have food on the table, you've got to spend money to make money, sure the pedal cost a pretty penny but I'm sure his return is worth the cost or he wouldn't be doing it.

It's his business tho

@@srh361 Also he's been playing guitar since he was a kid so it's safe to assume he was probably pretty deep into collecting before they even met. So yeah she's understanding.

Lol right. My taste in guitars has changed and ya never know how much it will change after four years

Is that the guy who makes guitars from old historic nyc wood? Like from The Bowery and places like that?

You're right! The makers of these pieces of gear create a supply and demand situation that, by association, adds this other, almost otherworldly, mystique to the gear! Then, all of a sudden, its like you're on the wait-list for Nigel Tufnel's "These go up to 11" guitar amp!

I waited 6 years to get on a wine allocation list, so… idk…

There's no singular piece of gear worth waiting almost half a decade for, IMO Try telling me that...😵‍💫10 more months and counting...

I've seen you in the comments of The Urban Gentry, rock on dude! I too love the world of guitar and watches.

Thought of you right away!

It’s so funny to see your comment because I thought of you when I saw that sticker dropping into the floor !

Ayy i know this guy!

Its definitely an unusual one.

Agreed on all counts. Gary Moore's tone instantly came to mind here

Almost, but you can go wrong, 15 years ago I bought a Danelectro Corned Beef Reverb pedal (still have the box and paperwork). It is definitely NOT a reverb pedal. More of a tremolo or fixed delay. Sure, it was cheap, but I dug it out a while back and it’s still impossible to find a tone worthy of adding it to my board….

Totally... But there are still degrees, and the circuit matters (even if the make doesn't). I've got a KOT clone and like 15 other OD pedals, and the KOT clone is the king of all of them (including Klon clone). It's the best OD pedal I've played.

Kinda like how there's a bunch of shows I'd love to watch... Just don't have the time or need.

That's what I was thinking too. I felt it was really underwhelming considering the 4 year wait list.

Checked the comments to see if anyone else heard that.

I was like he’s playing it differently than me lol

@@drzecelectric4302 Mike McCready was thinking the same thing as you!

I'm so glad I"m not just high and imagined that. Thank you for bringing me back down. Definitely the same progression, I was about to bust out "a boxer or a bag" in a second...

Yep, also heard that

For the love of god dont! That will disrupt the space time continuum, and we all know thats not a good thing!

I'm pretty sure the speakers would ejaculate their magnets all over the grille-cloth

Now that would be expensive tone lmao

Klon into KOT or visa versa?

If you add Timmy you will be in line to be the next Doctor!

VS Audio’s hand-built Royal Flush is great and similar too

Sliced bread?

@@notyetskeletal4809 yes, Shokupan

@@CesarCordova I just had scrambled eggs with sliced bread. Now I'm having a beer. Its 4:55 on a Friday. What country am I in?

@@notyetskeletal4809 New Zealand

@@CesarCordova Yay, you got it!

The tone is in the nut sack.

I am right there with you :-)

What happened to it ?

Not really. I have been trying to get a Prince of Tone for almost a year. I checked every Wednesday for months and months. I finally gave up and bought a Wampler Pantheon. It’s not an exact clone of the KOT - just another take on the classic Bluesbreaker circuit, but it’s a helluva great sounding overdrive. Very versatile too. It’s also worth noting that the Prince of Tone is made in Asia with some different components compared to the KOT.

@@chipsterb4946 I got a PoT on the second week I tried to buy one. You have to check at a specific time, there are threads out there that go into more detail. That being said, it's not quite what I was hoping for and I will likely be replacing it with a different drive/distortion down the road.

@@djrea4815 well I can tell you that the Wampler Pantheon sounds fantastic and is very versatile. Goes from clean boost into the edge of distortion if you want that. 3 clipping modes and 3 gain levels, both on toggle switches up top. This is purely personal taste, but my other favorite overdrive right now is the MXR Timmy.

The Prince of Tone is built in China! Maybe that’s why it’s readily available. The regular KoT is built in his shop!

He has the box!

Does BeanoBoost make tone sound less farty?

@@brians1793 Actually it does, since boosting the treble also appears to de-emphasize the bass

Exactly this. Hard to create a rig the KOT won’t work with. This video shows the versatility very well.

That's always the takeaway lesson I get from guitar demos. Fender got it right first time

I love how the KoT can make a strat sound thicker without adding a lot of dirt. It's probably the greatest capability of the KoT.

i think you mean the 2 Klons and KoT up there with the Miku and metalzone

It’s one klon and a Chinese klon clone, I watched that video

Miku and MZ..... a powerful combo.

Interesting…. I made a clone a few weeks back. And found it to be a very clear sound. And that’s into a Victory vc35. Wonder why yours is mud.

I've thought about maybe sending it back to have it checked out. Since I bought it used, no telling what happened before I got it. But...it was in beautiful, pristine condition with no scratches, so I just don't know.

@@frankglad2989 Have you tweaked the presence pots on the inside? Supposedly it opens up the sound more.

My main pedal cuts through the mix like no other😉

Thanks for the suggestion on the presence adjustment. I'll try that tonight👍

I'd be curious to hear that speaker, I can't see anything about it in your vids ;)

Yeah I guess it tricks your mind But life sure does hit different with you get that perfect tone 🎸🤟🏻

Gain, compression, and overdriving the amp into its nonlinear region make the pick attack more aggressive and makes the amp and speakers more of a factor in the process... you are playing the amp and speakers in addition to the guitar.

@@JohnShalamskas Thanks John for that step by step breakdown that none of us knew.

@@srh361 I wish someone had explained it to me like that when I was starting out. All overdrive pedal demos are actually amp and speaker demos as well.

In case you haven't noticed, the supply chain is currently FUBAR. If one of the customers of the supply house where I work wanted something we didn't stock from a big manufacturer in their field, we would give an ETA of 4-6 weeks. That is now 6 months.

@@teemusid The fact that my brain didn't put that together has made me very depressed this morning.

Yeeesh, that’s me. Got mine a couple of weeks back and I only play at home at reasonable volumes. It’s not really doing it for me yet

@@CradleRawk I feel your pain. I felt the same way when I first got mine but then went to rehearsal and then a gig and was absolutely blown away. The Dualist pedal in my experience works a little better at lower volumes and since I never used the heavy hand side I sold it and am getting the Soloist instead. You can get your money back out of the King of Tone if you decide you don’t like it.

@Glenn...nothing will sound as good as the one that is most hyped and likely most expensive. The guitar community has many such examples of such gear and with all the RU-vid demos these days it's seemingly endless. People demoing a single pedal solo with people chiming in on the comments that the pedal sounds amazing. There's no reference, no comparison etc. And when there are comparisons, there's no band, no mix and people will comment on arguably minor variations that in reality all sound good and likely indistinguishable in a mix. Cheers. 🎶🎶🎶

@@nostro1001 I agree with you slightly, a large amount like people these videos. People like chiming in to either help or just converse opinions. I do believe by masking someone’s effort in making a video is negative unless you yourself have a difference (preference) in how something should sound. That’s the beauty of these videos is finding out for yourself what good for you. Casacading views is what drives the channel and this is what makes everyone watch.

Idiots by into hype. Same reason the klon is even a thing

With other pedals you won't have the pride of owning an overpriced Analog. When you pay more it will sound better. :-):-):-) .... The question is if your audience will hear it.

@@Nick-qq2nq Naw, that’s not the case in this scenario. I know people want it to be the case SO BADLY but it’s just not. I’ve tried so many KOT clones and variations over the years (trust me…if I don’t have to drag one of my kings of tone out to a thunderstorming gig in July, that’s just fine by me). Each one is touted to be “better” or “just as good” by its fan base but none of them are. The thing about this pedal is that it works *every time* no matter what…which is rare in the pedal world. Almost every pedal has a sonic situation in which it starts falling apart, even those $1500 “Dumble in a box” pedals…ESPECIALLY those pedals. The KOT doesn’t have that. I’ve played it in basically any situation you can name (yes…any situation…I’m not gonna drop names but I’m “one of those douchebags”) and it always holds your sound together.

IDK, it's good but a BK Butler dusts this.. imo

It might be good in the room, but it's not translating through my computer speakers because I've heard this tone with a guitar plugged straight into an amp.

what is a snouse!!!

@@soofitnsexy Snouse Black Box is a blues breaker pedal.

@@frankenstein4106 is it a good one???? good range?? thank you!!

@@soofitnsexy Yes, I feel it is one of the best blues breakers out there. Getting a new one though takes getting on a wait list which is over 2 years now. I got a deluxe version 2 last year and my guitar friends love it. I also was lucky to find a version 1 for cheap at a local music store.

Which clone is it?

@@CyberChrist I wanna say Caleb's Clones? I got it off Reverb for a steal.

@@cloudshad0ws Thanks, I wish you had a demo of it on your channel :P But I'll check it out ;)

@@CyberChrist Well don't take it personal, I don't have anything on my "channel." I don't really use RU-vid that way.
