KLON vs Klone Fancy Lad video clip

Greetings gear-hounds! I shot a clip last week of my Klon versus a DIY clone of the Klon, and it was remarkably close, as far as similarities...in fact, I'd say they're pretty much the same, IMHO. The pedal was named the FANCY LAD, by the builder, (top-cool name!!) and is a one off, custom build, from what I can gather.

As much as I wish it were me that built it, it was not I. There is a site out there, where you can get layouts and schematics for all the killer boutique boxes of love, and build them yourself, and that's where I believe the Fancy Lad pedal came from. So...if you're handy with a soldering iron and tiny components, you can build one too! I'm thinking of building one, just for fun, and to put on another board...but will have to put that plan on the back burner, as I'm swamped in LUTHER-LAND right now...

ROCK ON!

LUTHER on the Grand Ole Opry

Well, the Luther Drive made it's debut on The Grand Ole Opry a few weeks back. Greg Foresman, guitarist for Martina McBride, has added one to his board. He also just ordered two more...one as a gift, and one as a backup. Very groovy! I named the Luther after Johnny Cash's guitarist Luther Perkins....so it's nice that another Luther got to grace the Opry stage this Century.

ROCK ON!
