We briefly covered the Greenchild K818 in our Klones shopping guide a few weeks ago. Roman from Shnobel Tone” just posted a demo video of it on YouTube so we are taking the opportunity to repost it.

This is a very intriguing and unique pedal because it features recreations of the two most popular overdrive circuits ever created: the Tube Screamer and the Klon. The two circuits can be used separately or combined, and feature the classic three knob controls of the originals.

Greenchild Amps is a rather new, family operated company based in Santa Fe, NM, although it was founded in Kentucky in 2013. They seem to have a knack for pedals featuring more than one circuit, and powered with boosted PSUs, which allows for more headroom.

They currently have two other pedals under their belt:  The Tribus Drive features three independently voiced channels, with MOSFET based distortion,  in one pedal, great for boost stacking. The Greenchild G777 is presented as a transparent Dual Overdrive with flexible EQ options.

 Clicking on the images will open the pedal’s video.
