I don't really do custom work these days, except when the price is right... so here's a couple of double klons in Hammond 'B' enclosures.

They're amazing !!! How does it sound stacked like that ?

Cheers! Sounds pretty good. Nice and crunchy with the gain turned up. Odd to get a Klon to generate feedback. A little noisy with both channels up full, but you'd probably expect that.

On a similar subject, I sold five Klones to Thaddeus Hoggarth (he of Alpha Drive fame). He bought one, then wanted a bunch more for his students. Then he did a blog poast on the Berkley site about Klons and didn't mention my shit at all. Ah well.

Do they allow comments? I'd spam it with the bill of sale for the ones you made & tout for business

Here's a little Silicon Fuzzrite demo. These sound pretty cool.

I got Klon clones in vertically orientated MXR-size enclosures now! The Fredric Effects Golden Eagle.

The powder coat place did a great job on the finish and artwork. They're Â£120 plus shipping, but I'll do them for Â£100 to anyone on here for a limited time.

THAT LOOKS AMAZING TIM.

IT MAKES ME REALLY WANT ONE DESPITE NEVER NEEDING ANOTHER DIRT PEDAL IN MY LIFE.

Klon isn't really a dirt pedal. It's more like MSG for your tone.

Looks brilliant.

That klon looks incredible, I must get squirrelling away for a couple of weeks for one.

Cheers guys! Really glad you like the look of this one

Post by **Mike** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:55 pm

Seriously brilliant. I will in fact take one. PM'd.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: always had a few Fredric Effects pedals kicking around, but there are two particularly which I love to absolute bits... The fuzz which I use the most by far is my Scrambled Brainz (and not just because it was my idea that he should clone it oh no hem hem), which doubles up fantastically as a daft, fun 70s sounding overdrive. And the Utility Perkolator is just one of the best pedals ever. Feel loathe to recommend the cheap one over the expensive one, but I much preferred the Ute to the real-deal blue one - it's fantastically raspy, and I love the way it resolves notes.

So there we go - I love Fredric Effects. Usually I'd just PM the builder, but thought these two were worth singing from the rooftops.

Thanks Tim!

The Russian transistors in the Utility Perc (now just the vintage white Perc) are a bit gainier than the real deal authentic transistors in the vintage-correct blue or black Percolators. That and the silicon clipping mean they're fuzzier and slightly less like a gritty overdrive. I used one of these as my main dirt pedal for about three years.

The golden eagle is a win also. The transactions were painless. Ten out of ten every time. Buy with confidence. Thanks

Cheers for the vote of confidence Brandon!

I'm getting a bit nearer production with some silicon fuzzrites. Stacey has some artwork almost finished and I've got a new board designed too:

Well..good intentions for sure! ha! I am really fucking pissed that i messed the video up and my friend thought his playing on a few of the demos was terrible, it wasn't though. This one is a bit longer than the others for a few reasons. One is he loves this pedal and he wanted to play through different genre's. Two is i really wanted him to play some jazzy stuff because i know Gabriel is a jazz fan and i think they'd be great together in the studio. Maybe someone will recognize the jazz piece. The others aren't this long. This was intended to be a test run at the demo but i'm uploading it for now anyways. Thanks again Tim and we'll get it right. I'll post the others as they upload.
