Analog Man King of Tone Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal

At 2:39 in this video, one can see John's pedalboard, which includes an Analogman King of Tones pedal.

"I have.. Analogman analog delays. I’m experimenting and enjoying it.”

In this photo of Wayne Sermon's pedal board, source from the Rig Rundown of Imagine Dragons, the King of Tone overdrive sits to the right of the noise reduction pedal.

The KOT is amazing. Just the right thing to put in front of the Boogie for leads. Doesn't mess with the tone and just really interacts perfectly with the Boogie's gain character.

Purchased by Noel in spring 2004 and used in later years Oasis set up. Not currently part of his pedal board with the High Flying Birds however. On Analogman's website, the following is stated: > "In spring 2004 Noel Gallagher from Oasis got one and is using it a lot along with his [mini bicomp](http://equipboard.com/items/analogman-mini-bi-comp-compressor-effects-pedal) and [DD-6](http://equipboard.com/items/boss-dd-6-digital-delay-pedal) with high cut mod."

"Sid showed my his Boss pedal board with the modified DS-1/Pro he is using. Sid installed the JRC inline chip himself (not easy!) as he initially had our SUPER mod but was not really happy. Now he likes the PRO a lot, and after their practice he gave me another of his DS-1 pedals to modify for him. If you check out Sid's board now you should see our King Of Tone pedal and Sunface NKT on it too."

"I finally got a little time off and broke out my '73 Super Lead and the KoT pedal. MAN, I grabbed a '63 strat and just cranked it, mostly using the clean boost side of the KoT. It IS ridiculous! I thought that was good till I grabbed the Jerry Jones Baritone Guitar… then I was just plain stunned… I love that pedal! It goes great with an old Marshall!"

"Ho. ly. shit. There is no better overdrive. This thing is absolutely incredible!!! Wow wow wow. Simply speechless. It will be my go-to for sure. I got to hand with him at a D show in CT later that year and they were fabulous!"

"I left a present for Brad, our new King Of Tone pedal, and Greg told me he used it at their next gig at Madison Square Garden: All I can say is he really likes it, and has been using it on almost every song!!! I noticed him using the yellow channel for rhythm and red for lead on the same song... We hope to have some available for sale very soon!"

Buddy got a KoT in 2009 and said he was taking it on the road along with his Bicomp

At 22:19 in this "Rig Rundown" with *Premier Guitar*, Kenny talks about his custom pedal board and we're shown a still image with the Butler being seen in the left hand side of the image.

"I was using an Analogman King of Tone pedal. That's pretty much all I use other than a volume pedal. I also used one of those Union Tube and Transistor More pedals and an old Memory Man delay."

Jack Petruzzelli (Fab Faux, Patti Smith) got a KOT and used it on a three-month tour in 2015 with the Patti Smith band, then bought another one for his second pedalboard

Lee Ranaldo is using a BICHORUS in sonic youth with his KoT pedal in 2006

At 5:27 into this video, Scott Holiday shows his Analog Man King of Tone, saying, "I use both settings, one for a bit of brightness and sparkle, and one for a bit of a boost and drive..." Also, in [this article](http://www.musicradar.com/us/news/guitars/rig-tour-rival-sons-605763/12) he says, "Right above the wah is the Analog Man King Of Tone. It's the version four King Of Tone, which is coveted. It's a wonderful overdrive - beautiful,"

Adam Hann mentions the King of Tone in this Instagram photo of his pedalboard with the caption "+ a king of tone. Gunna need a bigger board...."

"Awesome pedal! Worked great in front of high gain amps for boost and also on my vintage amps as well. Great job on the pedal it really does stand up to its name."

David Bryson loves his and got a second one for the studio

"It's amazing, I love the articulation I still get even though it's distorted (heavy but not metal) and the boost is perfect for solos."

Mick Jones (Foreigner) is using one live with his JCM 900 SL-X, and in the studio, along with his Analog Man chorus

On Mr. Moore's website there is a picture of a recent pedalboard that shows the Analogman King of Tone.

"I think I have owned every pedal made Mike, and this KoT Ver4 is far and away my favorite overdrive ever… period"

J Mascis has some KoT pedals that he uses live for his clean (!) tones, with the higher gain option of course

Jonny Lang's guitar tech goes over his pedals in this rig rundown video. At 4:40 he says, "Then it'll go into this custom switcher, to loop all of these pedals. The first loop is the Analogman King of Tone...It's a really nice pedal and it has a great Texas style grit to it."

Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes got one from Jim Weider while at Levon Helm's studion in Woodstock, and used it on a few tracks of their 2009 album

"On the left are Andy's and Ben's pedalboards. At the bottom of Andy's is our blue Analog Man Clone chorus (stereo). The 3rd pedal is his Ibanez TS9 with our SILVER MOD, then the King of Tone overdrive."

Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes got one from Jim Weider while at Levon Helm's studion in Woodstock

He got a KOT and says it's now his main sound, and he's using it all the time

"It’s not that large a palette that I tend to draw upon. There are certain sounds that I love. I use a GigRig G2 at the front end normally when I’m writing and recording, and I’ve got a selection of stompboxes at the front end, like a Prince of Tone or King of Tone, Jester Overdrive, Analog Man Mini-Chorus, Keeley tremolo, and an Electro-Harmonix POG and Pitch Fork."

Rogers Stevens of Blind Melon got a KoT in 2007 and says he pretty much left it on all the time since getting it, recording their new album

"Got the KoT and it RULES! Super into it!"

At 12:28 minute mark, Dickinson praises both this pedal and the website of Analogman.

Pat Travers has one for studio use, he does not use dirt boxes for live playing though

"John Levin (Dokken) turned me on to it and it's smoking hot!"

On the Analog Man [website](http://www.analogman.com/kingtone.htm), it says : "Bernard Allison got a KOT in early 2013 and said "It gives me the clean rich tone on the yellow channel, and adding the red channel gives me that amazing overdrive I've been searching for. Analog Man you're in a class of your own, Excellent handwired work!""

An Analog Man King of Tone pedal can be seen in this photo of Pete Thorn's pedalboard, from Strymon's [website](http://www.strymon.net/2014/07/07/waiting-pictures-pedalboard-feature-pete-thorn/).

Rontrose Heathman of the Supersuckers told he loves his ver2 KoT pedal that he got for Christmas.

I also had an Analogman King of Tone

On his pedalboard

"Fan-fucking-tastic! It's booted everything else off my board, including my Blues Breaker, which I thought nothing would ever do"

Davy Knowles is using his King of Tone on the whole song, and just using the volume control on his guitar to adjust the gain and dynamics.

According to Strymon's pedalboard feature, Gavin uses the Analogman King of Tone pedal.

Phil Caivano is using his KoT with Monster Magnet, he says it sounds killer with his SUPRO amps

Sid has both channels set to the CLEAN setting. He has the TREBLE BOOST trim pot turned up a bit, to keep his 50s strat bright and clean on the bridge/middle pickup position which he uses for noise reduction. He uses the volume control on his strat to either get a REALLY clean sound, or cranked for some drive. He goes to his Boss DS-1/Pro (analog man PRO mod) for even more distortion. His DS1/pro is set for minimum gain so it's still not very distorted. The SIDTONE tweed deluxe clone he made does not have a lot of headroom, so it does not need much gain from pedals. But the King of Tone pedals works great for it.
