A very nice one!
Coming from an handmade clone of the Klon Centaur I was looking for something more solid and reliable on stage: the Archer delivers, is pretty solid, has a nice tone and the metal case is quite sturdy. I've been used it in the last four months dates and in a couple of studio sets and worked amazing!

No need for an original Klon for twice the price.
This pedal is really good as the sound is not really different from the original Klon. It has a teeny bit more bass, but the tone control can manage that.
I have found no need to buy the costly Klon, as this does almost the same as the Klon and packs the same "magic".
I'm really pleased with the Archer.

What a pedal!
Everything i hoped. I highly recommend this pedal.
Pros:
Easy and simple controls.
Perfect for bringing that mellow dirt even @ bedroom level.
Perfect clean boost also with the gain knob turned down.
One of those products that make guitar playing alot more fun.
cons:
No silicon/rubber spots you usually glue to the bottom included.
Not a biblical, end of the world scenario, but still.

A great sounding overdrive
Leaving out the comparisons with the other mythical pedal aside, this is a great sounding overdrive that adds this "breaking point" characteristics to a set up without modifying much the tone of the guitar and amp (just a bit of compression maybe).
I hear a lot more clarity when this is engaged and for a few months have been on almost the entire time on my pedalboard.
Build quality is great and the detail of having the input/output jacks in the back to me is great since it saves some space in the board.
I can definitely recommend it, I'm enjoying it a lot.

Superbly built compact Klon Clone
Basically this is an interpretation of the Classic Klon Centaur Overdrive circuit. It’s pretty much the same pedal in a more compact pedalboard friendly format.
I’m quite weird in that I use it for higher gain sounds where I need a thinner, almost class A Vox-ish type drive. Something with punch and clarity but not as intrusive in frequency as the traditional amp in a box.
I can’t fault it. It’s found a place on my board and it’s inspired me to write music. I’ve gigged it, made a record with it. It’s yet to let me down.

Nice Klon style pedal
I've only tried one other klon style pedal, and I prefer this Archer over it. It's solidly built and gives a nice range of tone adjustment along with a satisfying overdrive tone. I tend to play at lower volumes, looking for a nice mild breakup or bit of texture on my tone and this does the job very nicely. If you're looking for nice blues style overdrive, or a klon style of sound, then this is definitely a pedal worth checking out.

Shockingly good
I newer really understood clones before. Which is a shame as this pedal has got multiple uses. Booster, cleaner/EQ, and overdrive. And anything in between. Very smart choice as an add on pedal to others. And I have got 4+ more and amps in addition to that.

Very happy
I waiting for this pedal too long to become "in stock" I ordered when it without shipping costs thanks to the amazing thomann <3
As for the pedal, it is what I expected a remarkable booster and nice overdrive in front of my marshall sv20, for the quality of construction there were no words ...

Low gain overdrive
Used with Les Paul into Hiwatt DR504. I wanted a low gain crunch to drive my Hiwatt which is a very clean amp for rythmn parts. The low gain break-up was not smooth enough for me, however the higher gain end of the pedal sounded fantastic for lead sounds. I then used it on my 1980 Marshall JMP which has a natural break-up it sounded great. The pedal Sound very open and the individual strings come though clearly. I will give it a high Rating because it is excellently built, and would Sound great with an amp that is breaking up already. I have returned it and bought a Fulltone OCD which works better on my set up.
