It now has a 9V battery installed for testing purposes. I'm letting it acclimatise to the battery, while I'm out having lunch with friends. I am officially unemployed at the moment.

I just had a thought. Something arrived in the mail today, which might be a rather interesting experiment with this pedal. I have it all set up with a harmonic trem, a 6V6 (Laney Cub 10), and an EL84 (Vox AC4C1-12), for some time early next week.

I have a KoT clone. The circuit is well documented. Would you A/B mine with your genuine item because I'd love to know?

I had one too, which I sold to mule. That one sounded pretty good. Sure, happy to give yours a whirl at some stage. The left side of mine is not standard though.

I was just thinking the same thing! Mine's sitting on my desk looking at me.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I assume there are some forumites who have owned the real thing and flicked it. Could be because the clones are just as good, or to make some money, or both. Am I right? Except for the wait, this thing is in the same ballpark as Duellist, Protein, and various Nordvang ones.
