Critic Reviews

Review round-up: Klone pedals | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Anasounds Savage MKII delivers a unique twist on the classic Klon sound, boasting a darker character and versatile features like tone range and clipping diode selection. While its crunchy tone shines when the drive is dialed up, some players might find the internal tweaks daunting. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those looking to explore new sonic territories, though it might not be for everyone.

Best pedal

It's simple: buy it, put a lot of out and little gain, and never put it off. If you can, try the sandman (this pedal is better with another one to kick it).

Preferred Settings + Usage:

out: 8/10 tone: 6/10 gain: 3/10
