You probably have no idea what a Klon Centaur is. But its highly likely that if you’ve ever been to a concert, you’ve heard one of them. Its basically one of the most sought after guitar pedals – and i’ve finally got one. Well, not yet, its being shipped out this weekend.
This is what it looks like, its a pretty large pedal, and has a very distinct design – and from what i’ve read/heard from sound samples – its got a very distinct sound.
Most people classify it as a low gain overdrive, or a boost, boosting its known for having a really great sweet spot of boost and mid hump good for pushing a cranked tube amp into a really nice overdriven tone.
My rig has changed quite a bit lately – up until recently I had been playing through a Dr Z Z28 6V6 type amp. However, I was itching to have that Voxy EL84 tone back (I missed it dearly). I was on the prowl for something that would do what I wanted – when the perfect amp came up on my local Craigslist. A Divided by 13 JRT 9/15. This amp is TOP QUALITY boutique built, and also, I just found out that it’s loaded with some very nice NOS tubes.
I’ll be updating with some more photos of the Divided by 13 amp soon!
