Good point and my Eros is working well.
That said, my JHS Bonsai allowed me to sell my TS9 and 808.
Favorite boosts/ODs with Archon?

It's designed more as a front-end for metal, it drives the preamp and shifts the bass response to be a little tighter. I have no idea how it would sound into a clean amp.
Yes, similar to a tube screamer. I did play one briefly into a Dual Rec and loved it but I got so close with my JHS Bonsai, that this has become my TS pedal.
Gonna pick up a Bogner Weasex and Burnley and sew how they do with. Wessex I had years ago but I want version 2.
I know it's a pedal that works well into the clean cha nel but also works well to enhance or to take into metal territory like a TS style pedal.
The new Bogner Burnley sounds so much better than the original.
Knowing myself, I am going to want to boost the Archon. Nice thing is that pedals have gotten so good.
I recently played a friend's Engl Savage 120 MkII and loved it. Channel 4 is so thick, juicy and saturated.
I'm thinking with the right pedal, I can get that with my amps, inclusing the Archon.

I have the Koko Boost. Isn't it essentially a tube screamer? I have a JHS Bonsai and Horizon Devices Precision Drive and it can be hard to tell the difference.

Yeah, it is.
That's part of why I haven't bothered buying any other Tube Screamers, whether TS-9 or an 808.
The Wessex is a lower gain OD and the Burnley is more a distortion pedal. I assume you didn't like the voicing of the Wessex or that you could just lower the Burnley gain and get close enough to the Wessex to make it worth it.
I got the Burnley v2 and prefer over the originals nal Burnley. Sounds tighter and clearer. Personal preference but I like the revoicing.
Do you guys think it is even worth it fo have a tube screamer considering ai already have a KSR Eros which does so much, plus the Suhr Koko Boost and Bogner Burnley v2?
The JHS Bonsai or any modded tube screamer maybenis a repetition ve since I can get that thick mid boosted sculpting with my Eros.
It just lacks the gain of a TS, but close. Thanks.
My goal is to find a pedal to use for medium gain OD that can combine with the Archon or just boost the Archon and the use volume knob for lower gain.
No amp in a box pedal will really compete so I'd rather just use the Archon, use my volume knob, a few boosts and just adjust the gain.

Thank you.
That mag be too transparent if it doesn't allow one to shape the tone a bit. Looks great and I think I've heard of it, plus other such clones.
Just gonna say, the difference was pretty obvious here, even on the computer (iMac) speakers in my den. A bit of that may have been due to volume differences between the two pedals.
What I heard right off the bat was less lower midrange, and a different breakup when the pedal was run edge of breakup - as the gods of tone clearly intended! WTF was up with running a Klon at higher gain settings? They sound...I dunno...not their best that way.
Man I hear great things about it!

Like a Klon, right?
Supposdly great at just tightening, adding gain/satyration, etc.
