Found it... https://www.chasebliss.com/brothers-am. At 399 USD it's more expensive than my real KoT.

Did you find your real KoT worth the gold? My number is up
and not sure if I really want to plonk the coin down

Hmm... depends where you place the "worth" of a KoT. I did an A/B against someone's clone. Geez... can't remember if it was MikeC or Jay. Too damn close IMO. If you place worth purely in "tone", then perhaps no.

It's a great sounding pedal if you're into the bluesbreaker kind of tone, plus resale value is extremely high!

If I'm spending thousands on guitars and amps, it's a relatively small expense in the grand scheme of things. Whether you could get the same sound from a cheaper option is obviously a valid question. Personally I think the answer is usually "yes", but I haven't heard a Klone that sounds a good as the Halcyon Gold, or anything that gives a bright edge-of-breakup feel like a Benson Preamp. So in my mind they're money well spent.

I think price and value are two distinct things, and quality is something you remember well after the pain of purchase has passed :-)

Would I buy a $400 USD overdrive, unlikely :rofl:
