Drive cranked, the pedal is filthy. Dialed back, it pushes amp breakup to lower volume levels. I’ll record something in the next day or two to introduce the guitar players here to Mark’s Klon Klone.

I'm relieved that it finally made it. It was supposed to arrive Monday or Tuesday. It was as if USPS kept missing the putt. I hope you enjoy it.

My favorite settings are:
Drive - 9 o'clock
Treble - 12 o'clock
Volume - adjust to taste but 1 o'clock is a good start

Here are a a couple pictures of the pedal Mark sent me:


Good close-up view of the pedal.

Here it is plugged in, with the striking ice-blue power indicator light.



I said I would try to record something so the guitar players could get an idea what it sounds like. That's proving difficult. My music room is downstairs. I don't have a computer there, I just use my iPad for everything. It's not very good for sound reproduction. Ultimately though, Mark plays through the pedal in his original post in this thread.

It's a versatile pedal and worth having. Mark has some videos on YT if you think you might be interested. I'm pretty sure he'd make a couple more if any of you expressed an interest in purchasing one. Search YT for "Homespun Effects"

I hope you get much enjoyment from it, my friend!

Nice looking pedal and it sounded good in Marks vid.....great karma! Congrats on the win!!

I cannot wait to put the pedal I have from Mark through its paces!! Haven’t had the chance as we are in “ open house mode” and home on the market. I can say though, it’s a masterpiece to look at... Man, moving when you are a bit older sucks..... Mark is an amazing individual!!

I should've worried more about my playing instead of the sound quality recording to iPad; it's not not clean at all.



I just listened to it. Sorry

Most excellent, my friend! You got me smiling!

As I sit here reading my morning dose of Sigforum and the sound clip of this pedal, I cannot wait until I can put it through its paces. As we are in the process of big real estate doings, it may be a couple of weeks. I have to say what I’ve had a chance to play, it sounds awesome. Mark you are amazing!!

I didn't post, but this circuit is my favorite out of all pedals I own. I have a small Tumnus and the drive stays low and the pedal stays on pretty much always. It makes the tone so much fuller.

Absolutely, there is a lot of hype surrounding this circuit and for the most part it is well deserved. My version differs in that the off position is not buffered. I may change that in the next version.
