What can I say? With the right diodes this thing brings out the best of my dual-amp setup! I use the pauper to drive it…dude. Customer service is amazing, quick responses and always willing to help!

Great quality, fast shipping. The result is really good … here is a comparison video with the original KOT : https://youtu.be/9IC_GgEz2Ac

It is a great light to medium OD. Sounds fantastic stacked with other pedals. I cannot speak to whether it sounds exactly like the original as I have never played one, but it sounds good. It cleans up nicely, and can get a wide range of tones form a clean boost to a thick OD. This my favourite OD build so far, but I am a sucker for dual OD pedals. It might be an idea to have a 9v to 18v switch so that it is easy to toggle between.
the ONLY complaint I have is I purchased right angle potentiometers for the build. When I went to install the board I noticed that the potentiometers leads were not long enough to lay the board flat on the footswitches. Though I was able to make it work with the pots, the board ended up angled so that it could fit onto the footswitches.

The reviews I got from this one were all stellar. Seems to be identical to what it is supposed to be (with all of the right parts). Plan to build two if you build one… Someone will find a way to talk you out of it.

Love it! A K.O.T without the two to three year wait at a fraction of the price. Don’t get cheap on the components, pay the extra and find new-vintage stock for the diodes. Pay close attention to some googled images of the inside of the real deal and mimic it. You will not be disappointed. Really makes a strat sing! Not as in love with it when used with a PRS but then again, I have some pretty hot custom handwound pickups in it so…yeah. What a great build this turned out to be. Pay close attention to the listed values of the components and do NOT build off the values printed on the board. Some of them are wrong compared to the chart.
