You could populate a pedalboard the size of Texas with the amount of Klon-style overdrive pedals that have been released since the original big beast of boutique stompbox candy became a bona fide unicorn for electric guitar tone.
While many K-style drives try to replicate the original’s sound wholesale, housing it in a typically mythologically grand enclosure, Mojo Hand FX has done something different with its newly unveiled Sericon.
The Sericon is not the first Klon-inspired pedal Mojo Hand has released. For a more conventional take on it, “a playful nod”, check out its Richard Fortus-approached Sacred Cow overdrive. But with an expanded suite of controls at your disposal, Sericon looks to expand on that K-style goodness, unearthing new ways of making your guitar amp sing with musical drive.
So what have we got? There are no beasts on the front, for a start, just five red dials on a silver painted enclosure. The big talking point is the trio of gain controls that complement its Level and Treble controls – Gain, Drive and Blaze.
