Review: Klon 3 aka KTR

I’ve always wanted a Klon. I played the first Centaur in the late 90's at a friend’s studio in San Francisco and by then they were already over $600. Somehow I missed the second model. I must have given up on being able to afford one by then. But a few months ago I caught wind of the new Klon 3 (aka the KTR) by way of an email list. The timing was right, as was the price.

BOSS RC-300 Loop Pedal – Review

The new Boss RC-300 looping pedal from Boss is like riding an Escalade into a garage filled with Ford Escorts. This much 'foot-power' will turn heads. With its metal chassis, and 21”x9” size; it's a substantial piece of gear on a small stage.
