Hah, you know, now I feel somewhat obligated to buy one of those just to show support for the guy and his three kids.
Never imagined myself buying a Klone, but here we are.
Reminds me of the cab driver in Total Recall

It's uncanny how close your mockup is to the real thing. Amazing!
That's just cheating.
If I wasn't in a hurry to get the other parts in that order I was going to have "Lorem Ipsum" printed on there.

I might have to nick that idea.

I should add too, that it always surprises me how good the Klon(e) circuit sounds as-is.
Out of all the hot-rodded, modified, improved, new takes on the circuit, the plain old three knobber is where it's at for me.
I'd love to hate it because of the hype, but I just can't. I'm still going to dime the gain control though, you'll never take that from me.

Leave the pot out. (Did I just type that out loud?)I'm still going to dime the gain control though, you'll never take that from me.

I’ve never understood why people get so hung up on the diodes if they aren’t gonna use them.I should add too, that it always surprises me how good the Klon(e) circuit sounds as-is.

I think it benefits from a slight modification of the treble cap.
Also, Chuck’s bass-voiced circuit is a fantastic take on original.

I plugged in my Kliche last night after having it off the board for a while. Gain at about 90% and tone a little left of straight up. Just awesome fun.I should add too, that it always surprises me how good the Klon(e) circuit sounds as-is.

I upvote this.
You know my Phrase is NOT the same?

I can't believe how it went from such a Unique Build to a such a Piece of Crap that He created & the Mob I believe that built it for him has been Milking it ever since with their multiple versions!!!I'd love to hate it because of the hype, but I just can't.

This is Gospel, the year he announced that he would no longer be building it, I contacted him by email a couple of months earlier to purchase it.
He responded along the lines by asking me why I wanted to purchase it so he could tell me if it was suitable to my needs.
I never responded back as I wasn't purchasing it come Hell or High Water coz I wasn't Good enough to have one.
I don't regret not getting it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Mate purchased one & it fried the zener diode before I knew him & he sent it to Bill & he fixed it but he also had a go at my Mate for the state it was in, He had done over a Hundred or more Gigs with it touring Germany & fulltime in Australia & it was discoloured & a bit grimey.
He told my Mate that he didn't want to see it again & the next time it Crapped itself, I was around!
It still Going strong since 2014 & just finished 31 shows in 35 days across Europe!
I have built 3 Replicas using the Original Caps & Electrolytics in the knock off Enclosure & it still cost less for each of them than I could have purchased it for from him & it's fully Serviceable.
My Mate has 1 & I have the other 2!!!

Wait, so someone paid and exorbitant amount of money, and he was an ass? Did he buy it from bill?

Yep, that won't be as likely with the circuit above. Parallel polarity / overvoltage with no current limiting is just an awful awful idea.
To the average pedal user a shorted protection diode is just as broken as a damaged opamp. The pedal doesn't work either way.
