Overview
The circuit that launched a hundred boutique pedal startups. It’s Klon® and Klon® is life.
I’ve built lots of Klones over the years; big ones, small ones, cool alternatives like the VFE Merman, and a couple of broken sounding ones. The IMP had two design goals: put it in a 1590A and make it easy to build. Although there is quite a bit of wiring to do here it is set up to be much easier than typical hand wiring (esp. the dual-gang Gain pot). The one compromise was leaving off the buffered bypass option. I just could not get it to fit within the constraints of the two primary design goals. But, if you love the Klon® buffer you can easily build one (on vero or perf) and stick it anywhere in your pedal chain. The stock buffer doesn’t even require the charge pump.
Controls
• VOL - Total Output.
• TONE - Active treble boost.
• GAIN - The Gain control blends between two different audio paths. CCW is the clean boost mode. As you turn the control CW, the audio blends through the gain stage and hard clipping. Many players love the sound of the Klon® with the gain set in the first 1/3rd and the Volume boosted to push their tube amps into breakup.
