In the interview with That Pedal Show, Lee talks about using a 'Klon clone made by a guy in Scotland': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuSjuc3wdpc&t=1s&fbclid=IwAR0lMYtiJR8dEjyh5nejDyh_aRreNzIZz95_QwfttZWnGRb9xEQ2AWzjeiA (at around 13mins in).

He says he mainly uses it on his touring board, as studios they record in usually have an original Klon pedal.

On the MadebyMike Pedals facebook page, the pedal builder posted on 20 January: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuSjuc3wdpc&t=1s Lee Malia of Bring Me The Horizon recently appeared on that Pedal Show and he shows off the Klon Clone I made for him that is a key part of his setup. Check it out! M xo"
