Based on the legendary 1994 pedal, The Klone uses machine learning and circuit analysis to replicate the complex warm sound of the original.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Klone from Fazertone aims to accurately reproduce all the unique character and tones of complex, non-linear analog distortion. The pedal is based on the Klon Centaur from Bill Finnegan, famous for its unique “transparent” overdrive that turns into crunchy but crisp distortion when turned up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Klone has a similarly basic layout with GAIN<\/strong>, TREBLE<\/strong> and OUTPUT<\/strong> knobs, and is powered by a custom neural network inference engine, optimised to work in real time without consuming excessive CPU power. While the plugin is the perfect addition to any guitar tone stack, it’s suitable for other instruments too, such as synths, drum machines and vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
