Updates, updates, updates! Why am I never postng updates? I always say ill do more and never do, so maybe now is the time. I’ll try to look back in my archives and bring everything up to speed.
Ever since I started building I’ve had a small but steady stream of requests for Klon Centaur clones. Why? Well they’re a pretty nice overdrive circuit. Many people swear by them as the ONLY overdrive circuit they’ll use. Add to that the originals stopped production and used units were going for over a grand (!!) on eBay and the like. The circuit does sound quite nice, especially in the hands of the right player and in front of the right amp. One of the hidden secrets of these guys is that they have a TON of boost and will really drive your amp to breakup, as well as coloring the signal with some diode clipping.
So this is my take on that famed Klon circuit. The last few i’ve done have been in a nice raw finish which mimics all of the subtle glory of the original units. I build these as custom order but generally have one in stock and ready to ship if requested.
