Klon KTR prices

Post by Pepe Silvia » Mon Nov 15, 2021 9:38 am

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.

I already have a KTR. I figured I would sell it once prices got high enough and I can't justify keeping it.

Take the profits and get one of the Rocketts!

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.

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. :squint:

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

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.

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.
