Nux Horseman Overdrive (Klone)

Chinese digital instrument manufacturer NU-X enters the crowded "Klone" arena with the mini-pedal Horseman Overdrive, as far as we know the 3rd mini-klone on the market after Wampler's Tumnus and the MXR Sugar Drive - but a lot more affordable than either. They showcased this pedal at NAMM 2019 and…Click on the title for more

Way Huge Conspiracy Theory Professional Overdrive

The Way Huge Conspiracy Theory is a brand new "Klone" (i.e. a circuit inspired by the uber-hyped Klon Centaur Overdrive - see our comprehensive article about the Klon and its clones). The pedal doesn't stray away from the three-knob design of the original (Output, Gain and Treble), so the fortunes…Click on the title for more

Based in Merrillville, IN, ProAnalog Devices is a small builder dedicated to building... professional analog devices (as in guitar pedals)!

Anasounds Savage Overdrive

This Klone overdrive called Savage was staring at us in a very French way from the Anasounds' board at our NAMM 2018 Stompbox Booth, so we took a video of it (at the bottom of the post). That was a custom version of it with an extra toggle switch that…Click on the title for more

Foxpedal Kingdom Overdrive V2

Here's Pedalfox's take on the Klon style overdrive: it's called Kingdom. The Kingdom is a transparent overdrive that adds unicorns and fairy dust to your signal. Joking aside, it really brings to life your guitar and your tube amplifier in ways you've never experienced. The Kingdom isn't quite a Klone in…Click on the title for more

J Rockett Audio Rockaway Archer

We saw this baby at Summer NAMM 2017: the J Rockett Audio Rockaway Archer is a mod of the original, very successful Archer OD/Boost (a Klon clone) with graphic EQ instead of the tone knob. From the manufacturer's website: The Rockaway Archer is an overdrive EQ all in one. The…Click on the title for more

Ceriatone Centura Overdrive

If you really think about it and aren't afraid to sound a little cheesy, love is always behind the founding of a manufacturing company. Why would anybody otherwise pretty much "condemn" him or herself to building something in (hopefully) humongous quantities for the rest or their lives? In this light, Peter…Click on the title for more
