    While I don’t actually own a Klon, I do have a Jrockett Ikon I keep on my board as a clean boost that really fattens up my clean tone and sounds great with my strat. When I put it after my Timmy it’s amazing. My favorite overdrive tone after my cranked black face champ.

    I love the Klon with teles, strats, 335s, Les Pauls and sgs played through ac30s, black faced fenders, tweed fenders, and plexis. To me its the best pedal ever made. I remember crying to Bill about the whopping $275 I paid for it. He told me to, “buy two”. I should’ve bought ten.

    There is one huge upside (among many) to being separated. All my guitar work is done in heated and spacious comfort...and I can leave my guitar on the couch if I want. I have a workbench and a toolbox in one of my main floor rooms. The garage does not have the wife's car in anymore either. Lots of room for me.
