So far this has been my experience... popularity is never a good way to make critical analysis (and is a fallacy in an argument). I will that if something is good it might also be popular. In this case, I assume that is taking place due to my first reaction to watching a vid demonstrating the KOT. I still do not think I can personal spend $300.00+ for an od pedal.

It's two pedals!

Can it do all out distortion?

At the moment I have a Wampler Euphoria and a Suhr Riot Reloaded. Between the two I can get whatever I want.

I want to build a 2nd smaller 4 pedal Pedal Train Nano board. I'm wondering of the KOT can do overdrive and distortion.

You can get the red side with the extra gain option. However, the KoT isn't a distortion pedal. And while there's plenty of gain on tap, it doesn't radically transform the sound of the amp. So for example, I use a nmv Marshall. The KoT might help me dial in early era Metallica, but it won't make my amp sound like a Mesa.

After reading all this thread I am still wondering...does the KOT sound good? Is it worth it?:naughty:

They covered this on That Pedal Show ... and included a comparison with the Prince of Tone too ... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJAicnGHXb4[/ame]

Haha....

So I am intrigued now. All this discussion has made me want to buy one....


I actually put myself on the waiting list a few years ago and got the email in Jan 2014...

I think I am going to see if I can still use that email see if
i can get one stilll.....

I am still a victim of the hype! :)
You're an addict! Hang out in the pedal section, you will GAS for a pedal :)! I've been avoiding many sections here like the plague. So much stuff I never knew I needed!!!!! I love hanging with the pedal crowd though. I got my perfect guitar, I got my perfect amp, so now I'm having fun with pedals.

Beware! The more you get, the more you will lust for more! I love this stuff, but it's all hit and miss.

I'm buying it used from a friend at a great price. I wouldn't wait on a list just to sell it on for a profit

Thanks for all the replies and I'll maybe post a wee demo when I've played it for a while.

Pedals are so rig dependent, one can sound great with one amp and terrible with another. The respond differently to pickups and other pedals as well. And then there's the subjective factor... you can get everything set up perfectly and sounding great one day and the next think it sounds like crap. In my experience the KoT gets along better with most of the rigs I've tried it in (although there have been exceptions). Maybe that has something to do with its popularity. :hmm:

I couldn't agree more about the rig!

I have seen (heard) some demos where it sounds very good stacked with other pedals. For my taste, anyway. :yesway:

Haha love it! So all the discussion about the morality of buying and flipping was a big waste of time! Don't you just love forums sometimes!

Yes, as pointed out (repeatedly) it was just the product of the troll's overactive (lack of) imagination as perpetuated by his fanboi buddies... :cool:

your lack of self-awareness is absolutely incredible. If you weren't such an absolute arsehole, I'd applaud you.

I mean, do you want to have a recap of how you've behaved in this thread? It's not great. You've come across as kind of not very nice. Almost Troll-like, in fact. Crappy memes, insults for no reason, etc. In fact, the whole thing was resolved and you were still yelling. You're a jackass.

You must be such a great guy in the real world.

I'd recommend a remedial reading lesson for you to actually understand what happened, but you're probably too stupid to figure out what that means and learning to read just won't fix stupid... you came here to troll... period... now bugger off and enjoy your prime circle jerk position on my ignore list with your troll buddies... LOSER! :cool:

i'll miss you, buddy.

Remember me as I was, ok? Calling you out for the prick that you apparently are.

We'll always have this thread to remind us.

Oh for pete's sake. I haven't said anything but I've been reading this and to see how you were a cvnt (sorry mods, if you know me I'm not normally like this to another poster) to everyone who had an opinion differing than yours and downright rude.

Brocko's post was off topic and controversial but the way not only you treated him the first time but you keep after it day after day reminds me why I've always thought from your posts you thought you were just a little bit better than everyone else. Guess what cupcake, you ain't. You might own 100 different boutique pickups and more than most here but that doesn't make your sh!t not have an odor to it.

Duaneflowers, knock the fake keyboard warrior tough guy stuff right off and go back to the pickup section.

Maybe you just don't know proper english manners because you are from Japan, but that's no excuse. Quit being a grade A douchebag.

Maybe I'm a fanboi in your eyes, but the way you've talked to people on here is wrong, regardless if some of them are my friends, I would say the same thing no matter who it was.

Also, pro tip, the meme thing gets old after awhile. Either post something that is contributing, or at the least is real and not just trying to be a wiseass.

And you just got a first class ticket to my ignore list, pal. You've done pissed me off, and I rarely get that way on here.
