I built a "silver" based upon the Aion Electronics "Refractor" PCB. Yeah, sweep doesn't matter too much as long as you can dial in your sound level. The gain pot seems to get heavier in a non-linear way, but again not a big problem.
Apparently, there really is no true "silver" Klon specs, and the mods from the standard schematic are relatively minor. What probably makes the most difference in the character of the effect are the clipping diodes. Experiment and find what you like. I used the "magical" Russian D9Es and they sound fine, but honestly some BAT41s may work just as well.
Having said all the above, I really DO like the Klon. It's a great overdrive and an even greater booster/buffer. I feel the Klon buffer alone is an asset to my signal chain, but combined with a little boost from the overdrive circuit makes for a great "always-on" preamp.
