“Not just another clone but instead a blatant counterfeit of Klon’s legendary pedal”: Klon creator Bill Finnegan is suing Behringer over the design of its Centaur Overdrive

Behringer Centaur Overdrive.

Bill Finnegan, the creator of the iconic Klon Centaur pedal has filed a lawsuit against Behringer owner MusicTribe for its $69 Klon copy.

The overdrive pedal, which launched in 1994, has since become one of the world's most sought-after pedals. Its success, and limited production runs, also mean that it is one of the most copied stompboxes in the game, with Finnegan warning that fake Centaurs were being sold “for big money” back in 2023.
