1. Low-to-Medium Overdrive*
*This made the Klon different, as the 80s-90s trend was big-loud-heavy overdrive
2. Transparent lower end with a "sweet spot" on breakup
3. (Magical) germanium diodes
4. Mythical figure box art (sigh)
Not willing to spend over 2.5k on a used Klon? There are hundreds of variants, and most range within 95% to 99.9999999% as good as a Klon. That 000000001% is perception anyhow.
Try the following (very very good) variants.
J Rockett Audio Designs Archer
A popular winner. Been at the top of Rogue's Guitars effect sales since its introduction.
$180
RimRock Effects Mythical Overdrive
Another contender for best Klon copy. This is the only pedal Rimrocks produces.
$150
VFE Merman
Another winner by the mad scientist himself, Peter. Rich midtones and a clean lower end match the ideal idea of Klon-ed-ness. My personal board favorite.
$190
