ARCHER SELECT
The Silver Archer is their take on cloning a Klon and the select is the samepedal but with choices of clipping diodes.The old one had a couple this has 7. The layout is volume, gain and tone with
a rotary switch to choose diodes.A real Klon is virtually a clean boost with a hardclipper OD not unlike a Boss SD2 pedal. It uses a pair of stacked pots so when you turn up the gain
the boost turns down and the OD turns up with a bit of both at
around 10 o'clock.
CONCLUSIONIf you want 99% close to the original get the Harby Pedals Centauri.It uses the real exact clipping NOS diodes not NOS substitutions andit is only $150.00 USD.This is just another hardclipper actually not overly expense to makewith a price that is a total gouge. An average $200 pedal with a$130 Idiot Tax. Come to think of it ...it is a fair price, lol
The pedal however does sound very good - especially in Andy's ToneReport video on YT.
