Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Oct 02, 2012 Analog Man, in collaboration with Jim Weider, have come out with the pedal we have been looking for for many years - the King Of Tone (KoT). There are many overdrive pedals on the market, but none of them have been quite right, preserving the tone of the guitar and adding the right amount of overdrive without compromise. Analogman modded Maxon OD9 pedal. Silver/TS808 mod. Sounds very transparent and much better than stock TS808/TS9 pedals and is very low noise. Comes with original box and manual. Analog man sticker and ink stamp verify the pedal is truly an analogman modded item. New this would be about $250 from analogman. Price includes shipping in conus only.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd’sboard—recently rebuilt bycustom builder Helweg CustomPedalboards—is packed with allthe bluesy goodness any StevieandJimi-inspired player could askfor. But the heart of his tone liesin the combination of a recentissueAnalog Man King of Toneand stock Ibanez TS-808HWTube Screamer. “It’s basicallythe sound of the amps and thisKing of Tone pedal and the TubeScreamer,” explains Shepherd.“Everything else is just for one ortwo songs here or there.”

The King of Tone—whichhe called “one of the greatestoverdrive pedals ever built”—has its low (red) and high (yellow)gain sides set similarly,but the real magic happenswhen you combine the two.“It’s over-the-top awesome,” heenthused. Shepherd adds in theTS-808HW for even thickertones. “When you use the twotogether, it’s got everything toit,” he told us. “It’s got the fatlow end, and the nice, sparkly,high ends, and it’s got a reallynice midrange capability. I don’treally know of a better combinationto be honest with you.”

Beyond this combination,which he says comprises 90 percentof his tone, Shepherd usesthe Dunlop Uni-Vibe for therhythm tone on “Blue On Black”and Hendrix songs, Electro-Harmonix POG 2 (with theKing of Tone) for “Your Blues,”and the Analog Man Bi-Chorus(one side set slow for Leslie tones,the other slightly faster) for theband’s slow version of “VoodooChile Blues.” Shepherd, who hasan original Tycobrahe Octavia forstudio use, uses the Chicago IronOctavia reissue for Hendrix songsas well, and calls it, “as accurateof a reissue as anything I’ve everseen.” He gets his favorite tonesby rolling off the tone slightly,stacking on a Tube Screamer, andhitting his Strat’s neck pickup.
Shepherd’s board actuallycontains two of his preferredDunlop CAE Cry Baby wahs—one on the board, and one circuitset to a specific pot settingand mounted under the boardfor the song “Show Me the WayBack Home.” Shepherd prefersthe CAE wah for its sweep andvocal qualities, and tends to stayon the yellow setting withoutthe built-in overdrive.
The board is rounded outwith a recent issue BK ButlerTube Driver, a JAM Pedals DelayLlama+ modified with an on/offinstead of hold switch and taptempo, and a Boss TU-3, whichhe also uses as a mute switchwhen switching guitars.Michael Helweg wiredShepherd’s board with twoVoodoo Lab switchers and aVoodoo Lab Commander setwith loop presets for controllinghis pedal combinations.
