  • Ttone Klone Pedal

    Like may guitarist who enjoy being able to manipulate and shape their tone with pedals and effects I've always been curious about the Klon Centaur, but their rarity and escalating prices means getting hold of an original is something that requires a rock star budget, to own, and what if I didn't like it? Having tried and liked the EHK Soul Food, but knowing it wasn't identical in sound, the Ttone, according to the seller, seemed to be a step closer and well priced too, it comes either built (£45) or in kit form (£30) so I having built pedals before I went for the kit. Upon arrival the kit seemed to be of decent quality, the resistors were all labeled, the PCB was clearly printed, the pots and jack felt a little cheap but they could be replaced later if there were any issues. The only concern was lack of instructions - the PCB wasn't to bad as each component space was marked with the appropriate vale, and while on capacitor had on markings on it, I just kept that til the end and popped it in the last space on the PCB. The main issues with the kit, due to the lack of instructions, are which of the IC chips should go in which slot and which terminals of the pots should be soldiered to which points on the PCB. When I messaged the seller he/she was good enough to send me some more pictures of the PCB, sadly all the connections were made with red wire and were overlapping in the pictures, so a little guesswork was required. For placement of the IC chips I turned to YouTube, ans series of videos on one of these pedals can be found. In use the pedal sounds good, a common complaint of the soul food is that it lacks low end when compared to the original - this pedal has a fuller sounding low end an works really well. I'm using mine to add a little extra gain to whatever drive (pedal or amp channel) I'm using pedal and it works great.

  • Take my money! Great product!

    This is my first pedal build. I have some electronics experience already but this kit is easy to assemble and sounds amazing! There are a few printing errors on the PCB but it's obvious what goes where especially as the resistors come labelled which saves so much time. I had some issues with my motherboard and the support I got from the supplier was amazing. Such nice guys and quick response. We found the motherboard to be faulty so they sent me a new one at no extra cost. Second time round worked first time and sounds like a £200 pedal. I can't believe how you can sell this for the listed price. It has been so much fun building this pedal and I will feel a hint of pride each time I play it. Thank you

  • Kit comes with good manual. Worked from first firing up - you cannot go wrong.

    Knobs are somewhat flimsy and hard to fix on the shafts. Haven't installed the germanium diodes provided but used NOS Soviet B9E which are supposed to sound like the original.
