Analogman King Of Tone: Main Features + High Gain Mod Comparison

Are you sure this is the high gain mod version? They write an 'H' on the red chip bit corresponding side and also on the inside of the base plate

Fantastic!

For the record, both sides are NOT identical. I have one with no high-gain mods (or any mods, for that matter) and the right (red) side is DEFINITELY more compressed and higher gain than the left (yellow). This is even true with the dip switches set the same as well, as AM himself admits in the 50-minute long interview with the "That Pedal Show" guys. I experimented one day and set both yellow and left to boost mode (all switches down) and the red side was still hotter than the yellow. One of the reasons I like this pedal is that I essentially have two different pedals, an overdrive and a distortion. I rarely stack them, rather I just stomp on both sides simultaneously when I go into "lead mode." Good video though. Keep it up.

Hype

Do tune your guitar for these. Please.

Thanks for the good KOT info but please please please tune your guitar!

Thats how I got mine made, only the Red side High gain, dual ons and outs (in case I want to insert something betwee) and dual power jacks to share power with another pedal. Then I failed to realize I had checked off for a Green KOT. 23 month wait, just got it a month ago.

Hi Joe I got a kot 6 months ago I got 4 jacks mod, a buffer and high gain on one side with switch I opened the pedal just to see was there any dip switch inside to change anything on the yellow side but no dips switch any help would be much appreciated thanks

Sounds great...I have a Prince of Tone, which I love. Still on the waiting list for the KOT :)

This should be included with every purchase of the KOT. I love mine as well. Great Video.

Very helpful video, thanks!

not much unnecessary talking, just a quick and on point overview of the features, thanks a lot for this video. Waiting to get to the top of the KOT waiting list...... :D

I'm going to get high gain both sides so I have the option to run the red side into a higher gain yellow side for an extra gain option. Analogman says themselves that you can achieve the same tone as the original KOT by just rolling the gain back, so why not just get high gain on both sides and turn the gain down?

Very useful! Cheers!

great video and demo of the dip switches and trim pots...thanks for doing this

Helped me greatly with my KOT! Great job, Thank you!!

There's been reports this pedal doesn't work well at low volumes.
Analogman says it wasn't designed that way and it's better at loud volumes.
Il pass, only a home player.
I really like JHS Morning Glory

Hi there, Joe. Fantastic demo. I've had my KoT for nearly six months and I'm still astounded by how versatile it is and how amazing it sounds. Yours is one of the most concise and comprehensive reviews I've seen. Very well done!

Amazing demo. First one I've seen that actually shows how much gain you can get

I bought my KOT in 2014 and waited "only" 9 months for it. I love and this video has given me even greater insight into the pedal. Thanks! As an aside, it is bizarre how much people are willing to pay on Reverb to get one.

I've had this pedal for a while. I don't like the overdrive side at all, but the clean boost side does wonders. It brings clarity to each string and note.

Awesome breakdown of the pedals functions!

Does having the high gain mods change the tonal characteristics of that particular side of the pedal, compared to if it wasn't added?

sounds goood

Hi, what is your clean tone? That fenders pickups sound hot as hell!!

Tune your fucking guitar!

Man, you should tune your guitar

Best demo of this pedal I’ve ever seen! Answered all the questions I had regarding its functionality. Thanks! Cheers!

Just got mine after being on the waiting list since september 2017 . I read a lot how expensive it is but how many "boutique" drive pedals go under 200 + $ . It sounds absolutely fantastic i must say . This video helps a lot cause i got high gain on both sides.

Got on list in October 2020. Three and a half year wait currently.........

I need expert opinion to order with buffer or no buffer?!!

Gracias!

The best overdriver menatone red sneapper 90’s

Brilliant and explicit demo showing the various stacking options: thank you !

Thanks for taking the time!.
Im still waiting.... ;)

I dig it !

How are the dip switches configured when shipped?

is the higain mod on both sides?

Would anyone know which side of the KOT is based on the Blues Breaker?

Excellent work: informative, helpful condensed. Brilliant watch for those of us who have already seen plenty KoT demo vids.

I have had one siting on my board because I use a 1960's tube screamer..... I really "dont" need the tube screamer but going through a 62 twin it sounds so good so what am doing that is totally stupid is using the left as a blues slight boost, then hitting the right for the, then slamming the screamer for the off the hook peak of the lead but its so confusing. Would love to use just this pedal but the screamer does it for me.... maybe im old school.

Thank You 🤙🤙
