This is Japanese company that like many are obsessed with a quality build and even when doing a take on a classic pedal make sure it fits the purpose of the original but takes it far past it. Even the Klon is treated as a pedal that needs improvement. In the end they make a quality item that even by the choice of things like NASA spec parts will not merit a second look unless you really
like the sound.I do like the sound of the cheaper of 2 different Klons they do. The cheaper of the Klons is not meant to be a budget pedal but a totally different take on the Klon.This pedal is their take on the old Fender blackface amps. Fender amps are all but impossible to make into a pedal as they were never meant to be pushed into distortion. Yes Leo Fender wanted to color the sound to enhance his guitars but clarity trumped dirt. To get to the point this pedal is light to medium gain pedal where personal ascetics decides if you like the sound.

CONCLUSION
It looks impressive even the heavy steel casing is custom made. It is a pleasant sound when kept where on for example a great clean sound on a blackface Fender super Reverb. I owned one in the mid 60's. But on the amp you do not kill a Strats chime where as when you crank it and when set clean the sound noticeably sustains instead of dying out on any FIAB I've tried.I do like it's low gain clean sound and would expect it could sound very good on a large bodied Jazz guitar or Semi
