I just got the Golden Horse it's pretty amazing actually for $30 super transparent and no humming or interference! I was completely shocked lol sounds better than my $200 Morning glory..
Thanks for the comment! i hear ya, i was surprised as well, i couldn't believe the result in this video, such a cracking little pedal for the money and becoming a bit of a legend in the budget pedal market, cheers
The soul food by electro harmonics! Best one for the money literally $50 used on reverb and it has tons of head room and honestly sounds almost as good as the KTR Bill's pedals are about 5-7% clearer and fuller sounding
It's amazing how the two pedals sound very similar. I even venture to say that the Golden Horse timbre, for me, is much creamier and nicer to hear. Congratulations Derek for this beautiful duel between these two pedals!!
Ceriatone has a hint of subtle upgrade compared to Mosky obviously, but both definitely sound great. Tight budget: Mosky or Soul Food. True Clone that proudly local built: The Centura🙂
The difference between a Klon and the more expensive clones vs the Mosky is the others have a transformer to boost from 9v to 18 volts which gives a bit more head room. I wonder if you used an 18v power supply on the golden horse if it would have been even better?
I mostly heard a volume difference which seemd to be from the gain section, you probably could have pushed the gain on the Mosky just a little harder to match and it would have been a near toss up. I picked one up a couple months back to add some more color to my recording rig and it does what it does great, but not being a blues/classic rock player I just dont use what it does all that often. Stacks really nice though and competes outright with my TS808 for that spot.
Thank you for your great and spot on reviews. Based on your previous review I bought the Muslady golden horse, great as a clean boost. However I also bought a few other pedals and I would highly recommend the Mosky Obsessive overdrive pedal, an OCD Fulltone chlone. On high gain it is absolutely lovely, smooth and warm. The first time I plugged my vintage mim Strat in to it, gain at nine, and then to a Marshall tube I was shocked when hitting an A5 power cord, I felt like Mike McCready playing Alive. Best OD I’ve had, close to distortion on high gain particularly with golden horse in front. Really basis for my sound. Highly recommended.
I have a mosky tiny reverb unit it is mind blowing the tone is awesome for 30 bucks and it sounds far better than some i have heard that are way up the price range list.
@@DerekPaulGuitar I would really appreciate it if you can at least see the video of this recording. It is a proof that it does sound good - my guitar solo at the end used this pedal. This pedal to a Tech 21 Liverpool then straight to the board. It's in our language (Filipino) but I hope the music will be enough. ruclips.net/video/MHtQNTfyWDY/видео.html
I just received my Golden Horse for $18 from China and although I can’t compare it to any Klon or clone, I think it’s a great pedal that sounds awesome! Now when I listen to your vid I’d say I would pick the Golden Horse over the Ceriatone for my live set up anytime: it’s small, it’s cheap and it sounds so close to the Ceriatone that I find no rational reason to spend the $$ for that (not even considering a real Klon) or use 3 times as much space on my (small) pedal board. Perhaps in a recording situation you would like the Ceriatone, but even then I don’t think it has any real advantage over the Golden Horse that a little eq and compression couldn’t fix.... but maybe my ears are just rubbish, I dunno..... ;-)
Honestly Jason as i say in the video, the Golden horse is that close! it will definitely annoy some people who don't think a $20 pedal can sound that good but it just does, i mean the Ceriatone would definitely sound better in a recording situation (more refined sound due to the quality construction) but as i said in the Vs video in a live situation, i don't think you'll hear it, thanks for the comment man, and enjoy the Golden Horse :)
Been swithering for days about that wee golden horse. Okay gonna go for it. For the price of a packet of tobacco and half a bottle of gin .. oh hang on ,maybe ... 😜 Great comparison, thanks.
New subscriber, I have been picking up a lot of the budget pedals recently, one or two a week... I got the tube screamer clone last week, and I have NO idea how it compares to an actual tube screamer pedal, but I do know that what it's done for my guitar tone has absolutely hooked me on these pedals. Now... prior to that pedal, I've never played/owned any OD pedal, but because I instantly fell in love with it, I decided to start stacking my boost and OD pedals and I just bought (about an hour ago) the Golden horse pedal. I can't wait to see what tone I get from this stacked with the screamer clone. I haven't looked at the rest of your videos yet.. but I'm new to stacking od pedals.. if you haven't done a video on it, I'd love to hear your take on it as well as how to do it properly, and what pedal I should try or add next. Great channel brotha!
Love the name! And thanks man! I appreciate that, I’m an overdrive freak as well, love budget ones and more expensive ones, love em all, I haven’t done an OD stacking video yet but I did do a video on ‘5 overdrives for any budget’ and have demoed quite a few OD’s now, thanks for the comment man! Enjoy those pedals
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thank you (for my screen name haha), will do! I've played for 20 years, but never dove too deep into effects with the exception of a few, and I've only ever used one distortion stomp box. Oddly enough it's a very coveted pedal now.. it was the DOD grunge distortion pedal, and sold it years ago not knowing, but now I'm beginning to understand how building a pedal board can be addictive to say the least! I'll be checking out all your vids brotha! I appreciate that you take the time to do them!
@@patmccrotch5373 thanks man! Yes it can be addictive, I’ve been at it a while now and there tends to be certain pedals that work with my amp and just stay on the board, but of course another one comes along and you just have to try it for a while, it’s a fun game!
@@DerekPaulGuitar it's been a week of playing with my overdrive pedals, and I've found my favorite stack is: Guitar to my Ibanez WD wah to the Moskey Golden Horse OD (Klon clone) to Eno ES9 (tube screamer clone) to Moskey Blue Delay (Analog Delay) to my amp. A lot of people seem to prefer the Tube Screamer before the Klon Clone, but for now, I'm pretty happy with the results of the effects chain I've got right now.. that's not to say it won't change in the future, that's what I'm finding out I really am enjoying with these budget effects pedals, the versatility and experimentation. What's your effects chain set up? I'm really curious to find out!
@@patmccrotch5373 my effects chain changes a little bit as i get new pedals to demo, but my go to is NUX Masamune boost and compressor into a nobels ODR-1 or Boss SD-1 (depends on my mood) into a Boss Tremolo, that's pretty much it, but i do like to play around with the pedalboard to see what overdrive effects i can get, cheers
Hi Derek- late to the party here, but I just picked up the Mosky to use with my SG into a Fender clean amp for slide tone that has crisp cleans with just a touch of grit and a little more when I dig in. I have been using a Wazacraft Blues Driver to do that and I have to say, this does a better job for that application, and it was $130 cheaper. That kind of sucks when you think about it, so I try not to. Anyway, thanks for video (and your other one) as it helped me pull the trigger on the Golden Horse- I am glad I did
Thanks man! Thanks for the comment, it really is an under appreciated little gem, I think people turn their nose up as it’s not a lot of money, but once they discover it they’re glad they did! Cheers!
depending on the components tolerance, you can't put the pots the same place and excpect the same tone. A bit more here, a less here, and you achieve the exact same tone with both. These pedals are simply perfect. Blind test, you can't hear any difference.
Hi Derek. Your videos usually give me a lot to think about. The Ceriatone has the edge as you describe, but I bet most people have other pedals on their board that could add that extra sparkle to the Mosky, ( a touch chorus for example.). It sounds a lot like my Boss Blues Driver in front of my strat, which is a good thing. I am committed to a six pedal board, (and I have already been forced to move my looper onto the floor because of your videos:), but the overdrive slot is up for grabs because it is currently occupied by a Behringer Tube Screamer clone that isn't cutting it, (the Blues Driver is in front of another amp by itself). I keep circling around purchasing a Fulltone OCD, but this might work and as you point out, for $20.00, what can go wrong?
Brad Laue hi Brad, I apologise for emptying your pockets ;) the blues driver is an awesome pedal and I’d like to get one at some point and I was also looking at the OCD pedal too, I almost got one but budget ran out, I’d love to try it out though so if you get it you’ll have to let me know what it’s like and you can empty my pockets :))) yes it’s interesting that the Mosky sounds so good, some people bash it as a cheap Chinese pedal but it really does cut the mustard as the brits say :))) cheers Brad
I happened to have both of these pedals on 2 different pedal boards. To me the Centura has much more pleasant top end. The Golden horse is spikey in the top end. I can't detect those different characteristics in your audio.
I didn’t experience that with mine, there are subtle differences but nothing to write home about, im assuming the moskys tolerances aren’t as strict in manufacturing as the Centuras
Sounds like the klon has more gain. I’ve tried both Mosky and Muslady. Though they look similar, there are a few differences between them. The Muslady sounds fatter and better. The Mosky sounded thinner and fizzes. Mosky switches are a bit harder to press too.
@@DerekPaulGuitar just incredible hot one cost so much money and the other one you played sounds so similar to the other one I've also seen different ones from the same company I have have line six equipment that has a lot of the built-in songs into it but I have a small little amp that I practice in my room so I need to get several of these different ones to make better sound on the small amplifier 60 watt fender with a 10 inch speaker. I'm glad that I found your Channel you get right to the point of things thank you for everything you've done I will continue to watch you for now on sincerely yours Master gunnery sergeant Joseph Velez.U.S.M.C
@@greenharvestproductions6743 fantastic reply and thanks for watching, I reckon if more people purchased with their ears rather than their eyes they might just save themselves a few bucks or a few Bob :)
Hi there. The Klon circuit is really meant to be played through a pushed tube amp at stage volumes. I think your clean tone isn’t showing what this circuit can really do.
I would agree with you, unfortunately I can’t play it that loud in my apartment but you are right, much better at stage volume through a driven amp with a band behind you :), cheers
Making a pedal one by one by hand is probably how the cheap mosky are made..they claim hand made on their website. Its how most boutique peds are done. I’m geussing all bar boss and other large companies, would have infrastructure to tool up a factory of robots to assemble pedals. My geuss is that all chinese peds are hand made, hands are cheap and there be many of them, and it may be an assembly line. A pedal is only a circuit board which come from the board house prepopulated with surface mount parts. Assembly consists of inserting pots, switches, jacks and led which may or may not have to soldered depending on how they designed the board. In any rate the dpdt foot switch would have to be hand soldered. I got one on order..definitely going to pull it apart and have a looksee...
@@DerekPaulGuitar ok mate. i ordered from a nz seller on ebay earlier today. should be here in few days. I'm in Queensland. will report back with the findings of build quality and quality of soldering etc. I used to make pedals myself years ago as a hobby. They aern't difficult if you learn soldering. there plenty of klon schematics on the internet. its an interesting pedal, very unique and innovative way he handled the power supply section. But even the klon is not a completely new idea, more like hot rodded tube screamer/od1
@@steveflynn8311 ahh it makes sense now mate, if you used to build pedals you’ll know what to look for, it’s a great little pedal and does sound very close to the centura, be interesting to hear what you think! Cheers!
Given all the SMD on the Mosky boards inside their pedals, and the MASSIVE amount of units they move, I'm 99.9% certain it's all done by machines whenever possible. Some aspects of their pedals seem hand soldered though - namely the stomp button and wires connecting it to the board. I've had to open up two of them and resolder/rewire because of sloppiness. Hint: Mosky also makes a Little Brute Drive clone that is fucking killer. I've only seen it selling on DHGate.com though and it's being marketed as the real thing. Worth every 2500 pennies though!
Living in California with tons of gear and incredible musicians, a bunch of players in early days got many original pedals from BILL still for $279 later $329 and we all have them and sold them. Great pedal just the only way to use the pedal is with Gain between 9clock and noon to get the best sound with volume and tone depending on volume and tone desired THE KLON IS NOT A OVERDRIVE PEDAL it SUCKS. In our opinion is all a hype because today's pedals like the RYRA have a better overall sound and we all after testing many times prefer to the original KLON. Bill still selling the KLON pedal on EBAY claiming is to help a friend and there are idiots paying $3000 for a pedal today. You can buy a killer amp or a Gibson R8 or NOCASTER FENDER or FENDER RELIC STRAT that will really improve your sound. Also when you own an awesome guitar you will play more and that's how you become a better player. That will making a huge difference in your sound, way more than any boost pedal. I love my RYRA and there's a few other pedals that are great boosts that we prefer to the KLON. Try the Morning Glory JHS, the BMF Effects El Jefe This pedal EL JEFE or the RYRA are incredible sounding. For small sized the TUMNUS and for a close to the original KLON the ARCHER pedal is very very good when comparing to a KLON. Buy a great playing guitar with an awesome amp. The majority of incredible players like Mark Knopfler/Clapton/Robben Ford or Santana aren't using many or any pedals at all, is all in your fingers, your guitar & amp. Get a good guitar Fender tele or Strat or Gibson Junior or Les Paul Traditional or R8 through a Fender/Tone/King/Marshall/Germino/Komet/Bludotone/Glaswerks/Sebago/Morgan/Friedman/Bad Cat/Matchless type of amp and get a RYRA or EL JEFE and tell me what do you thing. The Klon is just like DRUGS because you can't have it, NOW you want it. Stop being fools. Buy a great Fuzz like the JHS KILT or Tone Bender like a ProAnalog MK IV also his a great boost with the gain down, Get a Big Muff or a Eric Johnson Fuzz or Bonamassa or the little green wonder or a tube screamer, get a SUPRO tremolo, Bro UNIVIBE, a MEMORY MAN or a FULLTONE ECHO and then tell me how your sound improved use 3k to your advantage. If you have a shitty sound and now you now using the KLON is going sound even worst. PRATICE PRACTICE PRATICE...
That's officially the longest comment i've ever had, and you make some valid points, i also think that pedals like the Klon or KOT e.g. are for players that can hear and know the difference, that can hear the subtle tone changes, i for example am not of that calibre, i do of course appreciate good tone but would agree that $3000 on one pedal is complete overkill, having said that if you have the money and can hear the difference then good luck to you, thanks and stay well.
@@DerekPaulGuitar I been bless to be able to hear the difference just when you try RYRA or ARCHER the Klon isn't anything but a HYPE. If you got one at $300 ok that's fine. I owned a few gold and silver and if they sounded that great I would kept them all. Not the case, Sincerely I prefer the RYRA just listen Guitar Paradiso Pete & Ariel RYRA Klone pedals and tell me if you Dig it.
I’ll certainly look out for one, it would be Interesting to hear it in person, it does look good and sound good, thanks for the comments and your experience!
"The Klon is just like DRUGS because you can't have it, NOW you want it. Stop being fools." Exactly, and the Klon vs RYRA vs the Mosky/Muslady is the same as Klon vs Ceriatone vs Mosky/Muslady. The $ 25-30 pedals, leverage that price savings to save 10x vs 100x just the same. I don't hear anything with the big name brands that I would be spending anything more than $ 30/pedal. The RYRA is no better than anyone else's pedal, practice, live gig or recording. The Guitar Paradiso video, 27 minutes of going on about the RYRA and you're right, if you sound bad without a pedal, you'll sound bad & louder with a pedal, whether it's a $ 30-4K pedal. ruclips.net/video/6t9drXsJcXU/видео.html
Hey Joe, I wish I had $3k to spend but I don’t. I don’t gig and play only for my own enjoyment therefore inexpensive gear that sounds good is paramount. Without gear demos like these - as imperfect as they are - are my lifeline to experimentation without killing my budget.

Just bought mine to replace for fulltone OD

exactly the video I was looking for... thanks Derek subbed
Thanks man! Appreciate that and the feedback
What do you Guys think? Similar sound? Or are there better Klon clones out there? Cheers
The soul food by electro harmonics! Best one for the money literally $50 used on reverb and it has tons of head room and honestly sounds almost as good as the KTR Bill's pedals are about 5-7% clearer and fuller sounding
Randy Ruger that’s a good recommendation, the soul food is a great pedal and well worth the money, cheers!
sound pretty much the same to me. Plus it'll take up less space on the board.
Just remember an EQ is your best pedal to have in you line.
It can shape a signal to any detail you need.
Great demo mate. Love my little Mosky! My son bought me one for my father's day and it has become my favourite pedal ever :-)
Thanks mate! That’s a great story! and it’s a stunning little pedal, such a usable boost overdrive, thanks for the comment :)

Sounds amazing. If anyone nees a big muff clone the mosky mini muff sounds identicle and is the same price as the golden horse
So mosky becomes muslady & centaur becomes centura?
I'm Malaysian until this moment that i know this thing were made in Malaysia..... i need to get to know my country more.......
It's a fantastic product from your country :)
La diferencia no está tanto en el sonido, si no probablemente en la vida útil del pedal.
eso puede ser verdad! That may be true!
Hi there. The Klon circuit is really meant to be played through a pushed tube amp at stage volumes. I think your clean tone isn’t showing what this circuit can really do.
I would agree with you, unfortunately I can’t play it that loud in my apartment but you are right, much better at stage volume through a driven amp with a band behind you :), cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar I'm sure your neighbors would want to hear both of those Klon Klones.
@@Karmakeddon_MtG they can’t tell the difference through the walls 😂
Love the review!!!!
Sarah Peterson thank you :))
Awesome editing
Ryan Stitt thank you, I appreciate that!
@@DerekPaulGuitar I have to agree - the pedal in the cloud is really well done!
Simon Bell thanks man! I appreciate that, I try to put a little something in each video
The Centura is an awesome pedal, the Golden Horse is fine for £20. There's not much more to say.
They sound pretty close to me ... and for £20 vs £240, the Golden Horse is a DAMN fine pedal ...
Making a pedal one by one by hand is probably how the cheap mosky are made..they claim hand made on their website. Its how most boutique peds are done. I’m geussing all bar boss and other large companies, would have infrastructure to tool up a factory of robots to assemble pedals. My geuss is that all chinese peds are hand made, hands are cheap and there be many of them, and it may be an assembly line. A pedal is only a circuit board which come from the board house prepopulated with surface mount parts. Assembly consists of inserting pots, switches, jacks and led which may or may not have to soldered depending on how they designed the board. In any rate the dpdt foot switch would have to be hand soldered. I got one on order..definitely going to pull it apart and have a looksee...
It'll be interesting to find out what you discover, feed back if you can, let me know, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar ok mate. i ordered from a nz seller on ebay earlier today. should be here in few days. I'm in Queensland. will report back with the findings of build quality and quality of
soldering etc. I used to make pedals myself years ago as a hobby. They aern't difficult if you learn soldering. there plenty of klon schematics on the internet. its an interesting pedal, very unique and innovative way he handled the power supply section. But even the klon is not a completely new idea, more like hot rodded tube screamer/od1
@@steveflynn8311 ahh it makes sense now mate, if you used to build pedals you’ll know what to look for, it’s a great little pedal and does sound very close to the centura, be interesting to hear what you think! Cheers!
Given all the SMD on the Mosky boards inside their pedals, and the MASSIVE amount of units they move, I'm 99.9% certain it's all done by machines whenever possible.
Some aspects of their pedals seem hand soldered though - namely the stomp button and wires connecting it to the board. I've had to open up two of them and resolder/rewire because of sloppiness.
Hint: Mosky also makes a Little Brute Drive clone that is fucking killer. I've only seen it selling on DHGate.com though and it's being marketed as the real thing. Worth every 2500 pennies though!
Living in California with tons of gear and incredible musicians, a bunch of players in early days got many original pedals from BILL still for $279 later $329 and we all have them and sold them. Great pedal just the only way to use the pedal is with Gain between 9clock and noon to get the best sound with volume and tone depending on volume and tone desired THE KLON IS NOT A OVERDRIVE PEDAL it SUCKS. In our opinion is all a hype because today's pedals like the RYRA have a better overall sound and we all after testing many times prefer to the original KLON. Bill still selling the KLON pedal on EBAY claiming is to help a friend and there are idiots paying $3000 for a pedal today. You can buy a killer amp or a Gibson R8 or NOCASTER FENDER or FENDER RELIC STRAT that will really improve your sound. Also when you own an awesome guitar you will play more and that's how you become a better player. That will making a huge difference in your sound, way more than any boost pedal. I love my RYRA and there's a few other pedals that are great boosts that we prefer to the KLON. Try the Morning Glory JHS, the BMF Effects El Jefe This pedal EL JEFE or the RYRA are incredible sounding. For small sized the TUMNUS and for a close to the original KLON the ARCHER pedal is very very good when comparing to a KLON. Buy a great playing guitar with an awesome amp. The majority of incredible players like Mark Knopfler/Clapton/Robben Ford or Santana aren't using many or any pedals at all, is all in your fingers, your guitar & amp. Get a good guitar Fender tele or Strat or Gibson Junior or Les Paul Traditional or R8 through a Fender/Tone/King/Marshall/Germino/Komet/Bludotone/Glaswerks/Sebago/Morgan/Friedman/Bad Cat/Matchless type of amp and get a RYRA or EL JEFE and tell me what do you thing. The Klon is just like DRUGS because you can't have it, NOW you want it. Stop being fools. Buy a great Fuzz like the JHS KILT or Tone Bender like a ProAnalog MK IV also his a great boost with the gain down, Get a Big Muff or a Eric Johnson Fuzz or Bonamassa or the little green wonder or a tube screamer, get a SUPRO tremolo, Bro UNIVIBE, a MEMORY MAN or a FULLTONE ECHO and then tell me how your sound improved use 3k to your advantage. If you have a shitty sound and now you now using the KLON is going sound even worst. PRATICE PRACTICE PRATICE...
That's officially the longest comment i've ever had, and you make some valid points, i also think that pedals like the Klon or KOT e.g. are for players that can hear and know the difference, that can hear the subtle tone changes, i for example am not of that calibre, i do of course appreciate good tone but would agree that $3000 on one pedal is complete overkill, having said that if you have the money and can hear the difference then good luck to you, thanks and stay well.
@@DerekPaulGuitar I been bless to be able to hear the difference just when you try RYRA or ARCHER the Klon isn't anything but a HYPE. If you got one at $300 ok that's fine. I owned a few gold and silver and if they sounded that great I would kept them all. Not the case, Sincerely I prefer the RYRA just listen Guitar Paradiso Pete & Ariel RYRA Klone pedals and tell me if you Dig it.
I’ll certainly look out for one, it would be Interesting to hear it in person, it does look good and sound good, thanks for the comments and your experience!
"The Klon is just like DRUGS because you can't have it, NOW you want it. Stop being fools."
Exactly, and the Klon vs RYRA vs the Mosky/Muslady is the same as Klon vs Ceriatone vs Mosky/Muslady. The $ 25-30 pedals, leverage that price savings to save 10x vs 100x just the same. I don't hear anything with the big name brands that I would be spending anything more than $ 30/pedal. The RYRA is no better than anyone else's pedal, practice, live gig or recording. The Guitar Paradiso video, 27 minutes of going on about the RYRA and you're right, if you sound bad without a pedal, you'll sound bad & louder with a pedal, whether it's a $ 30-4K pedal.

Hey Joe, I wish I had $3k to spend but I don’t. I don’t gig and play only for my own enjoyment therefore inexpensive gear that sounds good is paramount. Without gear demos like these - as imperfect as they are - are my lifeline to experimentation without killing my budget.
Like number 1 :)
Say that again? Im bad at whispers.
Pssst.... it’s very close 👍
ahmmm im curious, why do you have to move your hand after struming like s;ladkfjas;ldkfjas;lkdfj?
It’s probably just habit 👍
Ha! The golden horse sounds better!
Please don't use solid state amps with any boost or fuzz distortions ....
why?
Decibelics golden horse. :)
Good tip!!
I ordered one for 15 dollars lol hahahaha
Nice!!!!!
