Klon Clone
The JHS Klon Clone: Chasing the Elusive Centaur In the world of guitar effects, few pedals have attained the legendary status of the Klon Centaur. This rare and highly coveted overdrive has long been the Holy Grail for players seeking a transparent, touch-sensitive gain boost that enhances their amp's natural tone. Enter the JHS Klon Clone, a meticulously crafted recreation that aims to capture the essence of this revered circuit. Produced in limited quantities between 2009 and 2012, the JHS Klone quickly gained recognition as one of the most accurate Klon-inspired pedals available. Designed and built by hand in Missouri, this pedal delivers the same dynamic response and clean boost capabilities that made the Centaur a favorite among discerning guitarists. What sets the JHS Klone apart is its uncanny resemblance to the original. Bill Finnegan, the creator of the Klon, even acknowledged the JHS version as indistinguishable from his design. This level of authenticity is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that went into its creation. The Klone's compact enclosure houses a circuit that's internally boosted to 18V, providing increased headroom and clarity. Its simple three-knob layout - Volume, Treble, and Drive - allows for precise control over your tone, from a subtle boost to a full-bodied overdrive. Whether you're chasing the elusive Klon tone or simply seeking a versatile and transparent overdrive, the JHS Klon Clone is a must-try for any guitarist. Its limited availability and Finnegan's seal of approval make it a sought-after gem in the world of boutique effects.
