Made my own Klone version. True bypass. Used rail-to-rail opamps and got rid of the charge pump. Use an 18V plug from my TruTone power supply.
The OD/Dist adds feedback clippers on the gain opamp and the other switch toggles Ge, Si and N2 molecular junction clippers.

Score! Super tidy and spot on, how does the N2 sound in there? How's the differences in clipping options and which GE / SI diodes did you end up liking?

Thanks!
The N2 and Si have about the same headroom, but the Si sounds a lot more compressed. N2 would be great setting if you use your Klone as a dirty boost to push something else.
With the feedback clipper and Ge hard clippers, it's definitely gets more into distortion range.
 
Wow- I'm impressed by every aspect of this: a legendary circuit with enticing mod's immaculately assembled in a very handsome enclosure.
Bravo, sir!
 
Very interesting and cool with the clipping options indeed. Is the enclosure laser engraved? Looks spiffin'.
 
Brilliant. I was about to ask how you did the cool LED when I got to your reverse etch line. Damn that looks sharp. When you back fill do you have to do it by hand?

Yeah, it's easy. Just paint the back with a paint pen, or my new favorite: Typing correction fluid.
