One Analogman King Of Tone, or two Prince Of Tones? Let’s find out…

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! “Oh no!” we hear you cry. “Not another show on a pedal that is basically unobtainium?!” Well, kinda…
Analogman’s King Of Tone overdrive is worthy of its name. Revered by many, loved by us and with a waiting list that’s frankly bonkers, it absolutely deserves its reputation as one of the best overdrive pedals of all time. But what about the heir apparent; so say ‘half’ of a KOT and eminently more available: the Prince Of Tone?
In this video we compare two Prince Of Tones with the King Of Tone, and while we’re about it, we also compare the Standard KOT V4 with a High Gain option variant.
As you’ll see and hear, the results aren’t what expected at all!
We then ask how close two other OD pedals stacked could get to the KOT sound. Please note, this absolutely is not ‘Which pedals sound most like the KOT?', it’s what would we choose given two minutes’ notice. Ha!

Enjoy the show!
