The morning is almost over, so it's time to wrap up this instalment of #CoffeeAndKlon.

The #PRS #Horsemeat is not a #Klon killer for me. It's not going to kick my #KTR off my board.

It's a *great* sounding #TweedTone pedal - right up there with my beloved #SHOD.

It gives me another option when I want tweed tone - and I *love* having options.

I've just grabbed my #Telecaster (humbucker in the neck, Nocaster-type single coil in the bridge) to see if my opinion changes.

No, it's no good. This morning, my ears definitely are in the mood for the sound of my beloved #SHOD.

The #Horsemeat sounds great too - and the EQ controls make it a lot more flexible than the SHOD is, for sure.

Well.

After spending the whole morning with them (and with you! thank you to everyone who has been following along today) ...

... I think I prefer the #Klon with the #SHOD for *this particular guitar*.

I wasn't expecting that.

I've spent the last two months feeling that the #Horsemeat was my new #1 pedal. Now, I'm not so sure, at least not with my Les Paul.

This photo shows how I'm currently dialling in the #Horsemeat to get me a tone that's very similar to my beloved #SHOD.

It isn't the same:

* it's thicker,
* doesn't have quite-as-prominent upper mids
* is more compressed

Stick a #Klon in front of it, and it sounds glorious.

Even though PRS have marketed the #Horsemeat as a #Klon killer, they've always been clear that it isn't based on the Klon circuit.

And that leads me onto the second - and final - part of today's #CoffeeAndKlon ...

... and the other reason I've got the #SHOD on my board for this 🙂

I'm not going to test the #PRS #Horsemeat as a cranked boost into a cranked amp today.

It's simply not what I use my #Klon for.

It's not my world, and I don't know enough about it to say anything really about that.

I'm sure you can find plenty of folks on YouTube who have done exactly that. Go and listen to them on that use case!

Has to be said: it's always possible the compression is happening in the #SHOD, because I could be slamming it too hard with the #Horsemeat.

I don't that's what's happening, but do keep it in mind, in case I've got that wrong.

It's not just my ears telling you that there's a difference.

Here's a screenshot of the three takes I've recorded so far.

* Top is #Klon #KTR + #SHOD
* Middle is the SHOD on its own
* Bottom is #Horsemeat + SHOD

The Horsemeat brings a *lot* of compression to the table.

Not saying it's a bad thing, just that it's another way that the Horsemeat is different to a clean-boosting Klon.

No matter what I try, I can't make the #PRS #Horsemeat provide the same kind of clean boost that my #Klon #KTR does.

The Horsemeat just doesn't seem to have the same kind of mid-boost that the Klon does.

To be honest, that makes sense: the Horsemeat's full name is the Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive. It's hard to be 'transparent' if a pedal brings a serious mid-boost to the table.

So now we get onto the main topic for this instalment of #CoffeeAndKlon: is the #PRS #Horsemeat the Klon-killer that it's been marketed to be?

In my rig, that translates to: can the Horsemeat replace my Klon KTR in the clean-boost role?

Let me go and fiddle some knobs and find out! I'll be right back 🙂

(I'm starting to think #LUNA has crashed while self-updating ...)

Here's what I'm starting with on the board:

* #Klon #KTR
* #PRS #Horsemeat
* #MadProfessor #SHOD

All three pedals are in separate loops on my trusty old #Gigrig G2, so they can't interfere with the overall tone when they're not in use.

Good morning, everyone!

This morning - as previously promised - I'm going to do my first live #CoffeeAndKlon on here.

Today, I'm going to be talking about my favourite overdrive pedal: the #PRS #Horsemeat.

PRS have marketed this as a #Klon killer. Why has it become my favourite pedal, and can it replace the Klon #KTR on my board?

Sadly, there seem to be no people within my observable fediverse who are talking about the #Klon 🙁

I guess I need to try and help with that on Sunday, with a live #CoffeeAndKlon thread. Don’t think I’ve done one of those yet this year? I can’t remember.

Topic will be the #PRS #Horsemeat pedal. Spoiler alert: great great pedal, but not replacing the Klon on my board.

Afterwards, I’ll repost it on the #HomeToneBlog with audio samples.
