The Klone V3 is an authentic recreation of the original Klon Centaur/KTR. It can be run bone stock with the exact components and values in those original pedals, but also includes options that allow you to customize its sound to make it your own.
Features:
- Hand made one at a time in the USA with premium through-hole components
- Free shipping in the continental US
- GØRVA Design premium soft-click footswitch rated for 30,000 cycles
- CLEAN blend knob
- The GAIN knob in a traditional Centaur/KTR is actually a dual-ganged potentiometer that blends between a gain channel and a clean channel internally in the pedal
- The Klone V3 separates out the GAIN and CLEAN potentiometers so they can be adjusted independently
- HIGH GAIN mode
- Off - Standard Centaur/KTR gain output from the gain knob
- On - Boosts the output from the GAIN channel inside the pedal to further overdrive the internal OpAmps and increases pedal output significantly in order to drive the amp even harder than a standard Centaur/KTR
- Socketed clipping diodes
- Diodes for signal clipping the internal gain signal in the pedal are socketed so they can easily be swapped out for other diodes if you're looking for a different type of clipping (examples: Silicon diodes, LEDs, etc)
- Ships with NOS (New Old Stock) D9E Germanium diodes installed (generally considered to be the most sonically similar to the original Centaur/KTR)
- Ships with several different types of diodes to try
- 1N60 NOS Germanium
- 1N34A NOS Germanium
- 1N34A Modern Silicon
- Red LED
- Socketed tone filtering capacitors
- Capacitors that control the level of bass in the gain/clean channels, the overall level of brightness, and the frequency range of the TREBLE knob are socketed to allow easy swapping with capacitors of different values
- This allows you to customize the pedal's sound to your liking without having to do any soldering.
- Ships with standard Klon/KTR values installed in the sockets
- Ships with additional capacitors that you can try
- 100nf - C5 Increase bass in gain channel
- 150nf - C7 Increase bass in clean channel
- 560pf - C13 Increase overall brightness of the output
- 6.8nf - C14 Expand the range of the TREBLE knob
- Socket layout and mounting to the PCB have been improved over previous versions
- LED Brightness adjustable via internal trim pot
Power requirements:
9V Center Negative 2.1mm Barrel jack (Standard BOSS power supply)
40mA Current Draw
DO NOT EXCEED 9V! IT WILL DAMAGE THE PEDAL AND MAKE IT NON-FUNCTIONAL
