The Classics...

[Fingolfen]

The classic BMP circuit is this one: http://www.bigmuffpage.com/images/schematics/KR_1973_V2_Violet_Schematic_1st_version.jpg

That's probably my favorite most of the time, though I like the Triangle a lot, and after getting some of the right diodes the early Red Army ones are growing on me...

Klon?…

 

[Harry Klippton]

Who besides David Gilmour used a power boost or overdriver? Who even uses a klon besides dorks with too much money?

 

[Harry Klippton]

Jeff Beck used an Overdriver I believe.

I agree though. Its influence is greatly overstated.

If Jeff Beck is putting the overdriver on this list, then the mki deserves to be on here in addition to the mkii pro

Valid point. Though, it was a bit ahead of its time. Of course, this isn’t about popular pedals, it’s about Classic ones. Great examples of the genre. The Klon is THE transparent OD, which means it’s a classic by default…

Nuh uh

The Klon, transparent? I thought the reason the Fender amp guys liked Klon because of the Mid boost?

That’s a serious question. I’m not super well versed in Klon-dom. I thought it’s lack of transparency was a part of its character.

That's what it says on the internet. I don't buy any of it, personally. My OD is most peoples Fuzz tone...

I don't know what that is but it sure looks classic.

Good one.

The DeArmond Tremolo: the first electronic guitar effect (that wasn't a volume pedal). Features a cylinder of oil that rocks back and forth, and as the oil moves it continually makes/breaks an electronic connection, resulting in the on/off volume effect that is Tremolo...
