Often referred to as the “holy grail” of overdrives, the Centaur has achieved near-mythical status among collectors and players for its transparent gain structure, dynamic response, and long-standing association with world-class guitarists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example features the classic Klon circuit design built around hard-clipping 1N34A germanium diodes, delivering its signature blend of clarity and controlled drive. The circuit is known for its unique dual-path architecture, where a clean signal is blended with the overdriven path, resulting in exceptional transparency and touch sensitivity. As gain is increased, the pedal can move from subtle clean boost and edge-of-breakup tones through to saturated, almost square-wave distortion, while still retaining note definition and harmonic complexity. A secondary filtering network reintroduces low-end body into the signal, contributing to the pedal’s unmistakably full and three-dimensional character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis unit is housed in the original unmodified silver enclosure, complete with its factory-applied internal epoxy “goop” that protected the circuit design from replication. Serial number and pot codes date this example to 1999, placing it within the highly collectible late-production era of the Centaur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition is excellent for its age with only light external wear and full functional integrity. A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine late-90s Klon Centaur—an iconic overdrive pedal that continues to define the benchmark for transparent drive tones and remains one of the most revered effects in modern guitar history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1999\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver (No “Horsie” graphic)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial #\u003c\/strong\u003e: S572\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Overdrive pedal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Original Klon Centaur design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e: Transparent overdrive with enhanced clarity, dynamic response, and natural amp-like breakup while preserving the character of the original signal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Highly sought-after reference overdrive known for touch sensitivity, harmonic richness, and seamless integration into any rig\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Excellent condition with minimal signs of use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: No modifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRarity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rare “non-horsie” silver version, highly collectible and desirable among original Klon units\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: Comes in original cardboard packaging box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary\u003c\/strong\u003e: Authentic 1999 Klon Centaur in clean, original condition, widely regarded as one of the most iconic and benchmark overdrive pedals ever produced\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838961082687,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G57706886","price":3185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Original_Klon_Centaur_Silver_Non-Horsie_-_USA_1999.jpg?v=1782094905","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/original-klon-centaur-silver-non-horsie-usa-1999","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
