Pedals like the Ross Compressor, Boss DM-2 or Ibanez AD-9 analog delays, the EHX/Sovtek Big Muff Pi or the Ibanez Tube Screamer are all examples of vintage designs being made into exact copies by modern builders.Įxamples of vintage clones would include the Wren and Cuff Box of War and Tall Font Russian (Big Muff), Analogman Comprossor and Keeley Comp (Ross), and too many Tube Screamer clones to count.
Vintage copies are pretty much what they sound like: recreations of classic designs.
A clone builder or “cloner” will either reverse engineer or take a published diagram of an existing circuit like the Tube Screamer and build their version of the pedal.Ĭlones can be divided into 3 groups (Vintage Copies, Modern Copies, and Modded Copies) in 2 sections (In Production, and Out of Production) The short version is that in the world of guitar effects pedals, a clone is a copy. What are they? Where did they come from? What does it mean? Let’s talk about it. Whether you know it or not you probably have one or more cloned pedals on your pedalboard. This week we’ll talk about cloning effects pedals. In this series I try and address different aspects of the practical side of playing electric guitar in church music.
