The original Klon Centaur put out some of the best and most coveted overdrive sounds in the world! We encourage you to leave behind all the hype and forget about everything (good or bad) that you’ve heard about the pedal and treat this kit project as the overdrive that it is. This pedal (built from our kit) is, overall, the best overdrive that we’ve heard. Although we haven’t had a chance to compare our unit with a real vintage Klon Centaur, we believe they would sound very similar.

We have internet-researched the Klon Centaur extensively. Based on the information available, we believe that this is as close as it gets to being an accurate circuit replica of the “Silver” Klon Centaur. We also spent some time comparing the control settings of our kit pedal with control settings of actual units seen on youTube videos to see if we were getting the same audio responses. We believe that we do get similar response and sounds.
