Which King of Tone do you have?

[Harry Klippton]

It turns out I really like my paragon build and want to do a second one but also need to decide on bs diodes again

Cuz if you think it sounds better, it does

Not a proper KOT but sort of KOT-adjacent: mine has a Morning Glory and Nucleon's take on the Bluesbreaker. The Morning Glory sounds great by itself and they sound excellent together.

1n4001 and 1n4148 my guy. Why overthink it and pay more for

That’s what I put in my build as well. They sound great to me.

I got the PCB Guitar Mania kit from Das Musikding... and it actually works pretty well. Of course, I bought "as close to original" diodes as possible from The Netherlands...

A clone of the Wampler Pantheon by PCB Guitar Mania. Had the Paragon Mini and didn't like it all that much, the Wampler is way smoother, bigger and rounder if needed with more tonal flexibility. Could live without the additional gain modes and the clipping switch for me is always on soft clipping, but at least those are switchable (on the outside!).

Thats what i hear.
Look at Parthenon from pedalpcb

I don’t have a KOT. I guess I’ll build one and find out what all this hubbub is about.

Like my geometry professor used to say, you only have to do it once in your life.
