Is the King of Tone the HOLY GRAIL? | Gear Corner | Kris Barocsi

There are very few pedals hyped as much as the Analogman King of Tone. But why? And how does it sound? Is the King of Tone really the holy grail pedal? Let's find it out!

Funny enough, I haven't found a proper demo of the pedal on youtube so I thought I'll give it a try. Most people only show one sound / one setting, without show off its true potentials and versatility.

DID YOU KNOW ITS AWESOME FOR MODERN HIGH-GAIN SOUNDS TOO??
I bet you didn't. haha!
