In this episode we revisit that near-mythical beast of tone, the Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive. Beloved of many professional players and enthusiasts alike, there is no doubt that it is a unique design and inspired a whole generation of overdrive pedals, particularly after official production was ceased in the early/mid 2000s.
As 2017 draws to a close (when we filmed this video) it’s clear that you can achieve something all-but identical to the Centaur’s tone and feel via any number of clones, remakes and inspired-by pedals. We’ve made a video or two about that in the past. However…
This video is not primarily about which of these pedals sounds most like the Centaur. It’s about what comes next: what tweaks and features address some of the common criticisms levelled at the Centaur, while still maintaining that unmistakeable tone and feel. Thus we have a smattering of recent offerings, notably the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe released very recently. The small-box Tumnus has been phenomenally popular for Brian Wampler’s company, so they’ve added features and evolved it into a Deluxe model. And of course, there are a handful of others to consider too.
Let’s get all post-Klon then shall we? Enjoy the video…
