This pedal cleans up a lot better than a Tube Screamer type pedal, if you play softly or turn your guitar down they will not have the underlying fuzziness that most pedals have.VERSION 1 - The Triangle Big Muff (1969-1973) But if you want more distortion and compression, you can try it the other way around too.Īt low DRIVE settings, or when playing softly, there is not much difference between the three modes- they all clean up very nicely. I recommend setting the right side for most distorted sounds and the left for cleaner, then when used together you get more of a volume boost. It's best to turn the OD dip switch down when using the DIST mode, especially with the higher gain option to avoid duplicate clipping.Įither side can be set to any of the three modes, with the DIP switches. You can put an aged single malt Scotch whisky on ice, but it would be a shame to dilute it! The DIST mode is awesome with the HIGHER GAIN option. While the DIST mode sounds great, and I like to use it on certain occasions, it does not allow the pedal to get it's absolute BEST tones. We recommend most players use the OD and CLEAN modes. Think of this mode as a cross between a Boss DS-1 distortion and OD-1 overdrive, with more clarity. This mode can get about twice as loud as a tube screamer. The sound is more compressed, yet retains the King Of Tone character. It's a cool sound with the drive knob cranked!ģ) DISTORTION mode : This mode has more drive than the standard OD mode- a touch of hard distortion. But the drive knob still functions and can add some drive to the sound, and volume as it's turned up. You can think of the clean mode as the OD mode with the overdrive removed, allowing louder, clearer tone. This mode can get twice as loud as the OD mode. The factory DIP switch setting uses this mode on the left (yellow) channel. CLEAN MODE is even less compressed than the standard OD mode. It's like a clean boost with an overdrive knob. This mode can get about 4 times louder than a tube screamer if desired.Ģ) CLEAN mode : This mode has less drive, can be used for clean boosts or clearer, louder sounds. Factory DIP switch setting has this mode on the right (red) channel.

See the manual for specific information on setting the DIP switches.ġ) Normal Overdrive mode (OD mode): This is the standard King Of Tone sound, which Jim likes best- a little less drive available than a tube screamer. When the DIST switch is on you can't get the normal OD or CLEAN modes on that side. When you turn one of these DIST switches ON you get significantly more and harder distortion, and a little less volume. You can set either side for additional distortion, with the DIST dip switches (2 and 4). You can set either side to normal OD mode or CLEAN mode by moving it's OD/CLEAN dip switch (switch 1 or 3). It is two pairs of two switches, the left two switches are for the red side and the right two for the yellow side. I designed this switch to allow almost anyone to be able to find the exact sounds they want. There is also a four position configuration DIP switch on the inside of the KoT which you can use to choose between Clean, OD, and DISTORTION modes for each side. Jim does not need more treble for his Tele, but I found it allowed some superb tones with my '59 reissue Les Paul through my '69 Marshall amp, similar to the sweet yet biting tones of Michael Bloomfield (I believe he used a Fender Twin amp with his famous 1959 sunburst). This is a small knob or trimpot which can be turned by hand or with a pick or small screwdriver. In addition, there is a TREBLE BOOST knob on the inside of the pedal. We use SUPER BRIGHT Yellow and Red LEDs so you can easily tell which channel is selected. Having two actual overdrive circuits allows you to use both pedals at once, in series, for even more possible tones and levels of drive!Įach side has it's own Volume, Drive, and Tone control and LED. Each side also has configuration DIP switches and a TREBLE trim pot on the inside. Each side has an on/off switch, LED, and three independant knobs. The Ver4 KoT is actually TWO overdrive pedals in one box, one on each side. Almost all "dual overdrive" pedals available are like this. The original KoT was one overdrive circuit, with 2 channels, having separate volume controls and internal configurations. The Version 4 King of Tone was developed in late 2005 due to popular demand for separate controls for each channel of the original 4 knob KoT. Here is the main information of the overpurple page: Cleans up exceptionally well, remarkably well actually. It's a splendidly transparent and versatile two pedals in one box.
