Klon Centaur designer Bill Finnegan has warned that fake versions of his legendary overdrive pedal are going up for sale – sometimes with huge price tags.
Since its launch in 1994, the Klon Centaur has become one of the most sought-after pedals in all of guitar-dom, in part because of its transparent, articulate tone, but also because of its scarcity and mythology. The pedals were produced by hand in limited numbers, with used examples of both silver and gold versions now fetching up to – and sometimes in excess of – $5,000.
