So Finally Got to the Top of KOT List

What's Hot
peteripeteri Frets: 1283

Email came through last night and promptly ordered.

Options jack the price quite a bit, but I'm planning to keep this one (ex-wife made me sell my first).

And now I wait!

    I hear it's becoming increasingly difficult to obtain the enriched unicorn dust.

    I'm at the top now. But I don't know if I can justify it. Whenever I hear them, I'm strangely underwhelmed. Whereas I'd kill to get hold of another  7thvn pedal. When my board got stolen last year. I was having kittens trying to get another one.

    Can any pedal really be good enough to justify a 2 year wait and boutique price?

    Buy one without the wait and find out.

    To those not understanding what the KOT is, it's easily the best OD out there bar none, tried loads of others and nothing comes close, you have to try one and you'll soon realise that its not just about the tone but the feel, you'll never really know what its about by watching a youtube demo, you need to feel what it does

    In my opinion, yes.

    I only ever played mine at home where it was fine but nothing exceptional. I'm told they really only shine when played loud.

    Gigged mine for ages, was still underwhelmed and I had it through a Mesa Lonestar Special 2x12, with a Kotzen Tele and a Les Paul Classic loaded with BK Mules.

    Still sounded average at best.

    That's a truism about a lot of things associated with rock guitar, lol. 

    I was on the wait list for a KOT for about a year or more. It really is an excellent fx pedal. But a funny thing happened during that wait time:

    Long story short: I picked up an Xact Tone Solutions Precision Multi-Drive. Great sounds and versatility. It's now on my orphan board because I ended up buying and putting the XTS "Preamp" (boost, Multi-Drive, Atomic Overdrive combined) on the larger board. 

    A few months after buying the Mulit-Drive, I got the go for the KOT. It was definitely a hard decision...but I really was (and still am) set. KOT is excellent...and so are some of the other units out there. I'm a big fan of the XTS line.

    BTW: I used to buy and sell used gear through Analog Mike when he first started up. Cool service and a really nice guy. Now, very obviously, he's doing quite well in other areas.

    G.A.S. = "Git a Sound"

    How much are they direct? Do they attract import duties and VAT?

    Well arrived today - £28.49 customs charges, of which £13.50 was the Post Office 'handling fee' which is outrageous

    And a nice surprise - they had some white left (which I'd requested)
