Klon KTR prices
The KTR has been difficult to buy new, only a few dribbles of new stock over the past two years. I was reading on TGP that a new batch is headed to retailers and I figured the used market might calm down soon.
I have seen high prices asked for the KTR on Reverb but sale prices were generally $500-600. Now I see a lot of recent sales and the sale prices are $750-1100. What is going on? Shouldn't prices be cooling off if more are on the way?

Thanks. I'm surprised I didn't see that in the TGP thread.

Just get a J. Rockett Archer or IKON. They're Klons.

Take the profits and get one of the Rocketts!Pepe Silvia wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 2:01 pmI already have a KTR. I figured I would sell it once prices got high enough and I can't justify keeping it.

Re: Klon KTR prices
Everything Tim @ Fredric makes is great. I've used one of his Scrambler clones for longer than I can remember and put it up against both a 90s Reissue AND an original I was lucky enough to have owned. It sounded identical. I sold the others and never regretted my decision. I, by some twist of fate, also tattooed his wife Stacey recently - who does all the cool artwork for the pedals. I will never not recommend Fredric FX to people...a real hidden gem of a pedal company.

Re: Klon KTR prices
I had my KTR rehoused so I can't really cash in. At the time I bought it I also got a second one figuring that something EXACTLY LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN DOWN THE ROAD.
Of course I chickened out and sold it at 'cost' just a few weeks later.

Re: Klon KTR prices
There are a zillion different affordable options for a Klon circuit nowadays, many of them built substantially better than the KTR.

Re: Klon KTR prices
It is fun how often Josh from JHS pedals have mentioned how the magic diodes start to work when gain is like at 5 or 6 and most people (me included) run their Klons or KTR's at gain at 0-1. Thats how I ran my clone, but I owuld not never buy any real Klon or KTR to run as boost like that even at the new price.

Re: Klon KTR prices
I run my Ceriatone with gain at 0, it's used as an always on EQ and slight boost. It seemed weird to me before using it this way, but whenever I turn it off to check the tone it just sounds worse.
