I can't tell you how thrilled I am with this pedal that was hand built by one of our very own GMCers!!! I will keep his name secret until he wants to share. I think he should make these available to people to buy! I actually like the tone better than my PRO TONE MISHA BULB over drive. It responds like a tube amp. Light touch is met by a very tubey sound, dig and it gets more Marshall sounding. Most responsive ovedrive Ive ever tried.
If the builder would like to reveal himself, I'd like to have this thread be about how he built the pedal!! EDIT: The Builder is not shy!!! You can go and get your own KLONE!!! Here is the web site. brianwurster.com Just wanted to make sure it was ok with him before he gets a FLOOD of orders : This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jun 2 2017, 08:10 PM |

I'd love to hear a demo Want to hear a demo in person? I have enough leftover to make one more Gabriel in Argentina, Todd in Georgia and Mertay in Turkey, my creations would span the globe, WORLD DOMINATION!! Here are a few of the details of what I put together. First, the layout was my standard stripboard, using this design Klon Centaur Silver Edition. I'm going to guess what Todd refers to as the secret sauce is probably the germanium diodes. The design called for a Russian D9E, but I used 1N34's as the original creator eventually revealed were used in the original. Here's some background on silicon vs germanium diodes. Next, I laid out the enclosure in Sketchup. I almost always do this now, because it's quick and I make sure everything will fit before drilling. Below is the drilled enclosure after I applied the laser waterslide decal. A quick clear coat and assembly and it was ready to rock. Here's a few more quick shots of it before mailing it off: -------------------- |
