I see Thomann have some interesting pedal bargains at the moment e.g. Pigtronix Gatekeeper, Chromatic Tuner, Octava Micro Fuzz or Philosopher’s Tone Micro = £42 each Super 1313 Analog Delay = £66 Line6 DL4 Mk.II Silver Anniversary = £174 Hotone Ampero Mini = £139 Peterson StroboClip HD = £34. Not including shipping, of course!

I Wish It Would Rain Down - Phil Collins

That's all I use mine on. One thing that gets kind-of overlooked about Klons is that the Gain control is essentially a Blend control. It's not quite that simple electronically, but I can hear no difference between zero gain and bypassed tones. If you're interested in the circuit details, there's a good analysis here. There are actually three signal paths: the distortion section, feed-forward network 1 (which sends some clean lows forward) and feed-forward network 2, which comes in more as gain is reduced, balancing the distortion stage.

I wouldn’t say that is the absolute cheapest Klone out there e.g. you can get a Mosky Golden Horse for about £30. I have the dual mode Silver Horse version which adds a nice little mid boost at low gain.
