Klon Centaur
Klon Centaur is a guitar pedal overdrive developed by Bill Finnegan between 1990 and 1994.〔("Builder Profile: Klon's Bill Finnegan" ). ''Premier Guitar'', West Warren, January 21, 2014.〕 The pedals were made manually by Finnegan.
About 8,000 units were built between 1994 and 2000. Guitarists praised the clear, uncolored tone of the boosted sound.〔("Best Effects Pedals 2014: SonicState Gear Of The Year Awards" ). ''Amped'' 30-Dec-14〕 The circuit had unique characteristics, most noticeably the use of a IC MAX1044 voltage converter. Depending on the position of the knobs, the overdrive effect could be created in the amplifier instead by the circuit itself. The circuit had two germanium diodes which generates an internal signal clipping. The "gain" knob is a double potentiometer, which controls bass and middle frequencies. Other knobs are treble and volume. Nowadays, original units cost upon $1500 〔(Klon KTR Overdrive Pedal Review" ). ''Guitar Effects World''.〕 and are considered collector items. The Klon centaur is often used as a standard to compare new distortion pedal designs.〔("Tone Bakery Creme Brulee Review" ). ''Premier Guirar'', Charles Saufley, February 05, 2015〕〔("J Rockett Archer review" ). ''Music Radar''.〕
In 2012, Finnegan sold the same effect under the name "KTR".〔("the Cult of Klon" ). By Phillip Dodge ''Tone Report'', January 23, 2014〕 The KTR features the same circuit, but uses surface-mount technology to make the pedal smaller than the original, and to make it compatible with mass production. The diodes, however, are still the same as the original pedal.
Among the guitarists who use the Klon Centaur are Jeff Beck and Jason Lamont.〔("Guitar Pedals" ). ''Austin Chronicle'', Tim Stegall, February 6, 2015〕
