    the Centaur schematic is available at ElectroSmash, so i built one.
    Being a hobbyist, i had about 10% of the parts already. Additional quality parts = $49.45 ...
    Hard to say how long it took to build. Maybe 6 or 8 hours (lots of double-checking, redundant measuring, keeping a clear head, etc.)
    That site also has an analysis of the circuitry, and it IS advanced over "standard" drive pedals.
    Developed by the idea man and 2 MIT engineers, it certainly focuses on keeping the audio fidelity
    throughout the circuitry, and promotes certain harmonics that give it its rich sound.
    Built by hand throughout the 90s kept its retail price at about 300+ bucks.
    Then the guy got tired of building them, and here we are $4000 later.

      The higher 27vdc operation of the op-amp was designed for a greater slew rate, and you can hear it. And i've got an otherwise tin ear.
      Rather than manipulating the guitar audio, this circuit, um, caresses (?!) the signal and enriches the output. You can just tell there is something different going on in this pedal rather than just diode clipping.

      Brett S there was something there in the recording that was just a touch “more” in the original like a tiny little bit of top end sizzle at the peak of each note and settling nicely as the decay began (?) ... I don’t know. May just be me. I would agree with you that anyone chasing that tone should buy the Wampler for sure. That’s what I’d buy even if they were both affordable... It sounded RAD, indeed. 🤘🏼🤩

    I bought my Klon when it first came out in the 90s. It was on EBay and I kept getting out bid by other buyers. I was a college student and didn’t have the funds to win bids. So another Klon was up for bid and this time I was bidding against a medical doctor (it said on his eBay profile at the time). So I emailed him directly and told him I been getting outbid due to my budget and that I’m currently a college student. He replied back and said, he will stop bidding and hopefully I will win the Centaur. I ended up winning the bid and I’ve owned one of the oldest Klon Centaur ever made. Thanks to that doctor who let me win the bid. Wherever you are Doc, thanks!!!

      The wampler did sound very similar for most of the “riffs” he played but the ending notes on most of them sounded way better to me on the klon it gave those notes more character to me. The only setting I didn’t like the sound of the klon better than any of the other pedals was when he had it set to 10 o’clock. On that setting for some reason it just sounds too distorted and made the guitar play sound out of time.

    The Klon circuit is a good circuit so it sounds good, but it's not magic. There's very little difference between the Klon and the Tumnus and the Tumnus isn't even a direct clone. If you want exact go get a Ceriatone Centura or another of the many boutique direct clones and don't waste $5k on a single pedal.
    This is buyer psychology to the max. There's no way he'd react like this if it were a blind test and wasn't looking down at a pedal he just dropped $5k on.

    The Wampler sounded almost exact. The treble boost it gives adds clarity to compliment the bass when you’re on the neck pickup. This is no disagreement that the Klon is one of the best distortion pedals ever. If it was paired up with another pedal to muddy it up even more that it would still make the signal that much better. Really helps those upper notes sing with body and clarity. Great video.

    Yes, the price.

      Jurek My hands would be shaking knowing how much I paid for it, so yeah, that’d probably affect my playing, too! 😂

      You mean just like what Tyler said is likely to be the reason...like 4 times?

    It would be difficult to choose this over another great guitar or even 2 great guitars, but there is something that is noticeably different to the audiophile, and that's why, even though I think the Klon Clone is 99.99% as good and effective, it just isn't the same. I'll also say that the $99 one sounds amazing too (also the green one, although I will say it's a bit fuzzier, which can be nice, but it was much more different to me than the others)...so, I guess I'm saying it's justifiable, but only if you can hear/feel the difference, otherwise, those other two would be perfectly fine IMHO. Great video! 👏🏽 👏🏽 🥂

    Apple understood this glitch in human psychology "When something cost more than everything else we cannot help but feel that it must be better"

      @Louis Frost I worked at a dog food warehouse years ago. Funny thing is a few human food items were also there among the tons of dog food and dog food smell.

      @Common Sense that's any generation.... this "glitch" is a human condition and has been around since the dawn of time....

      @Common Sense Greed is an overstatement unless we are talking about extremists
      It's just normal human behaviour/nature
      Of course you always want better things
      But the mistake done here is assuming you are always charged more for what is better
      I'd call it being misinformed or not being objective enough.
