FSC Instruments has introduced a unique version of the Klon Centaur circuit called the KB-1. Rather than simply creating a replica like many others have done, FSC Instruments decided to expand on the original idea.

However, it's important to understand the KB-1. It does contain the Klon Centaur circuit, allowing you to achieve 100% Klon tones. But the KB-1 takes it further by incorporating an additional gain stage.

The Klon Centaur pedal has achieved legendary status, with guitarists willing to pay thousands of dollars for an original created by Bill Finnegan. It has been dubbed the "holy grail" of guitar tone by many. In this article, I will examine the hype surrounding the Klon, its strengths and weaknesses, its intended uses, and its modern counterparts.

What's intriguing about the Klon is that it has become more of a brand name than a representation of its sound or design. Unfortunately, the Klon is a prime example of a brand or hype overshadowing the actual sound and purpose of the device.

The Klon Centaur has become one of the most legendary pedals of all time. You can find originals going for over $2,500. That’s a lot of scratch for a guitar pedal. There are a few reasons for its inflated status.
