    Is it still a six month waiting list?

    No.

    It's currently about a 17 month wait. - http://www.analogman.com/kotdelay.htm

    That is ridiculous. Are there KoT clones out there?
    Is the circuit not based on Tubescreamer?

    It's a Marshall Bluesbreaker MkI.

    If you're into soldering @rico then Rullywow​ do the Queen of Bone pcb for $14. It's​ an impressive little pcb.

    Had a similar situation when my amp died during line check, 2 minutes before we were meant to start. My backup was in the van. I was graciously loaned another bands back up amp, a masrhall MG combo (which was luckily on stage anyway as there head had also blown).

    Very glad I had the EQD palisades on my board.

    Normally use it to push the amp OD harder, but though the line check and first few songs had dialled in 2 useable tones. By no means was it the best I've sounded on stage. But it got us through the set!

    Rat, almost certainly. It's my "home" pedal by a long way. That said, I played my JM through a Rockett Archer into my BadCat last night and it was GLORIOUS, so depending on the gig I might choose that.

    Have done this with just a Harley Benton Vintage Overdrive (like a Joyo Tuescreamer clone) and an old red-knob fender.
    Sounds glorious.

    Have also done it with a mooer black secret (RAT clone) and my WEM, also glorious.

    I like cheap pedals.

    I think, based on stuff I know, I'd have either the Nobels ODR-1+, or a Valvesporker.

    If I get a soundcheck I'd probably try a couple of different ones.

    ZIM would be a very good shout- two channels, flexible EQ.

    RAT would be in the running.

    I'd also consider a Skreddy Screwdriver. Constantly impressed at how many sounds come out as you turn the knobs.



    if it was a festival gig or something, and it was just get on stage, plug in, play, get off, I'd probably go for the ZIM.

    I still get to take my delay pedal too, right?

    None, it's an agreement you can only use it in small to medium sized pubs.

    I currently now have just one on my board... @ThorpyFX Veteran.

    Just one. It is that good.

    High gain, low gain, bit o' hair - it just nails my sound.
