The Acorn Amplifiers Another F#%king Klon Klone is an overdrive pedal built around the Klon circuit, one of the most copied designs in the history of the effect. Acorn Amplifiers describes it as a "Faithful handmade version of everyone's favorite mythic overdrive," and each unit is handmade. The pedal sells for $200.00 USD as of the maker's product page dated 26 October 20261.
What it does
As an overdrive, the pedal sits in the same family as other light-to-medium gain drive pedals, the category covered on the site's Overdrive Pedals page. Klons and their copies are typically used as a transparent-sounding boost or drive into an amp, though the site does not put its own ears on the pedal: what it sounds like is left to the maker's description, which calls it a faithful version of the original1.
The maker's pitch rests on two points: a circuit based on the Klon and handmade construction. Beyond that, the product page keeps things brief, and players comparing it with other drives may also want the site's comparison of the Boss SD-1 vs Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, two of the other overdrive standards1.
