Looks like Klon prices are heading north again

[KC]

Finnegan apparently is nearly out of his stash of NOS clipping diodes & will be subbing a different one going forward:

Think I'll sit on this here KTR for a while and see what happens.

Most of us saw the livestream, I think? I did. Go watch the livestream. I didn't hear a difference between the old KTR and the new with the replacement diode. Didn't hear a difference between those and Klon Centaur 001, either.

I doubt they'll be heading north personally. Don't mind being wrong, either.

What's crazy about diodes and transistor craves is that the more you know diodes and transistor the less you care about it.

Good for him. He needs his house repaired too.

I wish I bought the KTR when I could.

I wish I had bought a Trainwreck amp from Ken Fischer back when I could for $1700.

I sold my silver non-horsey 3 years ago for $1500. and I was amazed.
Apparently people have been getting $3500. for them now?!

 

[D_Malone]

The market is defined by whatever people are willing to pay. I’ll never pay more than $200 for a dirt pedal, but what do I know?

 

[noname_dragon]

Who needs it? I don't. The hysteria over these things is wacko. There's many other great pedals to be had.
Play guitar!

You don’t have to spend $3,000 but if you find the right one for $1,500-2,000 range it will sound almost as good as a RYRA but with less noise.

If I had $2K burning a hole in my pocket I wouldn’t be shopping for a pedal. To each his own.

 

[Neener]

tone is in the fingers...

Jk, had to

It's really hard for me to spend over 1k for any piece of gear, but that's what my budget allows.

 

[Zoso420]

I watched some of the live stream and they all sounded the same. Whoever he had playing guitar didn't do him any favors.

 

[tomasz]

A Wampler Tumnus works fine for me.. I guess I'll stick to that

 

[Supa Necta]

Picked up an old Piedmont Aluminum Falcon II for $30 and busted it out today as Klones were on my mind. Then found a RYRA used at GC for a reasonable price in a cool color. Should be set.

Aluminum Falcons are great - don't personally know much about the II's but I have this one - I have no need for the real thing.

Same, but I’d be shopping for 10 pedals!

100%. Never underestimate the power of oxblood knobs. Great pedal in any color. My favorite K type at the moment. From Texas, too.

 

[kafka]

I like the Ryra a lot. A little hotter sounding than the KTR. I loaned mine to a friend a couple of years ago. I think I'm going to let him keep it and get another.

 

[PoorNoodle]

Ceriatone Centura…looks the part. Sounds the same. Sold my KTR…

 

[Ebidis]

I've never paid more than $150 for a pedal, and these days I'm thinking even that may be a bit too much.
