this is like mxr's timmy, which i really should try used. I think i may try this one. My wait on KOT might be be realized when we're either in a desert or on rafts, so on acoustic... so the mxr may do  |

I would love the small footprint of this, and I do like MXR pedals, but I just bought a Mojo Hand FX Magpie, which is a very similar pedal the to Prince of Tone (Blues Breaker circuit, three-way clipping switch). The Magpie is great by the way, highly recommended.

I've listened to a few demos and it sounds, good, maybe not great, but it is done in coordination with Analog Man. I think I may just need to try it and experience it.

As usual I bought into the hype - I’ll never save enough for a great tele at this rate. 🤦♂️ Sweetwater is now predicting early November delivery. Here’s Analog Mike himself on the Duke…

Nice video. I'm only about 2 years out for my KOT. Analogman looks young so I'm confident I'll get one.

Off topic I guess but Paul Cochrane has released another batch of Tim pedals to Humbucker music.

I finally got notification from Sweetwater that my Duke of Tone has shipped.

It arrived Thursday. First impressions: It’s very small but solidly built as expected. Comes in a nice little box with 4 rubber feet and an MXR sticker in a plastic bag. There’s a generic instruction booklet that mostly goes through power supply/battery requirements but oddly has nothing on the Duke of Tone. Played with it through my Katana Mk II at bedroom volume for about an hour. Three mode switch: OD, Boost, Dist. You can get a very transparent clean boost and match unity gain and tone with the pedal off. Pushed, you get a nice boost with some hair on clean amp settings. The boost is my favorite as it gives a nice push to my crunch settings on the Katana. With my ‘62 RI Strat, I can dial out the ice picky bridge pup tone of the 1st and 2nd strings. With my LP, it sounds killer - great for soloing. Between this, my Wampler Tumnus, Nobles ODR-mini, and Ecstacy Red, the DOT apparently plays best with the Katana. As some reviewers mentioned, there’s a huge volume drop when switching to OD and distortion modes. Not a lot of gain on tap in either mode which was also expected; it’s not a high gain pedal. Guitar volume rolled back, the sound cleans up nicely, even in distortion mode.

Nice review, thanks. I'm getting a Wampler Belle for Xmas so I'll hold off this one.
Only about 2 years wait for my KOT too!

Well, this seems to be as rare or a similar wait to the King of Tone pedal, lol. I ordered back in Sept from MF because Sweetwater wouldn't discount and MF would. I guess Sweetwater shipped some, from Mark's post. MF said Feb now. Btw, MF = Musician's Friend, but sometimes can have another meaning when trying to get customer support  |

Sounds about right in the current "supply chain" environment.
It took almost a year past "release date" for the first of the TC Klon clones to hit stateside - a FEW got to Europe, but that's it.
I had preordered for once, and I NEVER do that...and cancelled after 6 months.
Took another 5 for them to show up.
