One way to see Klon is.. your tone but just “MORE” … another way to see it is like an extra tube stage of gain. Great video
For real, every guitarist should have a Klon style pedal, don't matter which genre you play
100 dollar EQ pedal would do the trick then 😊
@@a-nus definitely ballpark, eq introduces phase shifts more than actual harmonic distortion / saturation like klon circuit, so not entirely the same trick or
the same results, both scientifically and experientially. I own both, definitely different methods. Not at all trying to go big brain here just thinking out loud as I had to consider your comment 🤔 at any rate, good convo good video, good pedals, tone is subjective.
@@a-nus oh btw my klone is a $29 Amazon one. Gold mosky one is solid
This is a fountain of information for the gear nerd in me.
It's always interesting seeing the waveforms, filtering and frequency response of amps and pedals, I hope we get some innovative stuff in the future as consequence of this video. All of these were incredibly well-thought and put together!
No Bad Monkey...No street cred 😎I'm obsessed with my Pepers Dirty Tree Boost Pedal 🤘
I had to stop this video and go watch the Vampira music video. Awesome riff choice, made my day.
Glad to see you making videos again, Ryan! I for one felt starved for your valuable input!
0:04 Bless you!
Glad your back
Welcome back. Good to see to here.
Great fun, as always Ryan.
This was a great episode and good to see a klon pushed to what it should be more than just a clean boost! I still find it amazing how expensive they are when Bill Finegan made thousands of them. There’s sooo many more rare pedals that cost less… there’s over 20 on Reverb right now so it isn’t that rare…
Lots of interesting tones and knowledge 🤘
Fantastic video!
so been a Metal Zone owner for decades (it's a fun pedal) and a few months ago got my first "Klone" pedal and love it, been interested in checking out a Guv'nor now that there's a reissue, very very relevant video for me right now haha
JIMBO!
You rock that Chimera Ryan!
Bless you.
I've been enjoying the cheap AF Joyo Ultimate Drive. OCD clone essentially. Cool breakdowns of the circuits too. Cheers man.
The MT-2 can absolutely nail Demanufacture/Obsolete era Fear Factory tones as a preamp into a Marshall Poweramp.
The chip conspiracy thing is kinda funny tbh, never thought in 2020 the thought of wack theories and guitar gear colliding but it happened.
The EQ knobs are so sensitive that I feel like if I stare at it long enough it will move.
Dude nice job.can you do a review on the orange guitar butler preamp pedal. Or do you recommend it for a doomster
Yo, was that some Charlie Daniels I heard? Hells yes.
I'm fucking stoked for this episode! My friend built me a Klone last year and it's stellar. I had sold my Helix for a FM3 but ended up selling FM3 for another Helix because that Minotaur clone is so good (plus ease of use).
A few weeks ago, on the heels of the Marshall pedals reissue, I asked the same friend to build me a 2 in 1 Blues Breaker and Guvnor. He added a switch to change which one comes first in the chain. It's friggin fantastic. Turn on the Guvnor for instant Gary Moore.
That sounds glorious in my head.
@@CFChristian It is!
Makes me wish I could share a pic here
Me at 1:27 Night! Follows me when you're gone!!
Can anyone explain to me the aversion of CZcamsrs to turning the mids knob on a Metal Zone above noon?
Because the mids control does not work like an amplifier tonestacks mid control UNLESS you turn it below noon. On a typical amp design, mids at 10 is actually flat, not a mid boost. Anything below that attenuated frequencies in the 500-800 Hz range. I.e. nearly every high gain guitar tone you hear has some mid cutting going on.
That's why the MT-2's active tonestack sounds strange and honky with mids above noon (at least into a typical power amp > cab signal chain).
I guess my sarcasm wasn’t apparent.
Listen to any NWOBHM tone (esp. Accept “Balls to the Wall”) that inspired the architecture of the MT-2, and tell me that you hear scooped mids. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
If all the engineers at BOSS wanted to do was simulate an amplifier tone stack, why bother going semi-parametric at all? Why use shelving instead of LPF for the highs? Because the MT-2 was designed to EXCEED the tonal possibilities of an overdriven amp.
And allow me to be the first to say it on CZcams. Scooping your mids either means that you only listen to your own tone on headphones or at low volume, or that you hate your bass player and enjoy rendering his frequencies redundant.
The Guv'nor is extremely underrated for metal. Such a distinct, huge and chunky tone. Beautiful palm mutes, power chords and tremolo picked riffs.
Bro, you’re running the gain way too high on the Klon 😂
You must have missed the part where I said I'm actually trying to use the hard clipper section in the Klon since this is a video about hard clipping. Running the gain low turns the pedal into a mostly clean boost.
I just admit, this is very interesting video. But: Krank Amplificatio MMV Distortus MAXIMUS is the best Distortion pedal ever made😎😎😎😎😎💥🔥❤🔥🎸
26:48 your filters are wrong, what you show are RL filters and RC filters, no gyrators here.
If you can figure out what settings on your amp creates a flat response (for example, on a blackface Fender, it's treble and bass at 0, and mids at 10) this is another good option for the Metal Zone.
BTW, a Metal Zone boosted with an hm2 into a Peavey Supreme 160 (same circuit as a Teal Stripe Bandit) was used for the guitar tone on Slaughter of the Soul by At the Gates, which is one of my favorite guitar tones ever.
