Mythic Drive
The Klon Centaur is a highly regarded overdrive pedal known for its transparent, dynamic tone and exceptional touch sensitivity. Introduced in the mid-1990s, it features a unique circuit with germanium diodes and a buffered bypass, delivering a natural-sounding boost and overdrive that enhances the guitar’s original character. Its distinctive “gain” control blends clean and overdriven signals, making it versatile for both subtle boost and rich, harmonically complex overdrive. The Klon Centaur is celebrated for its build quality, rarity, and significant influence on boutique pedal design.
