Giovanetti Gold Klon Centaur - Handwired Clone - PCB

For sale is a premium handwired overdrive pedal, faithfully based on the Klon Centaur design, built by the skilled artisan Giovanetti. This clone aims to capture the much-coveted transparent overdrive/boost tone of the original Klon, with rich harmonics, touch sensitivity, and clean-blend feel.

Giovanetti’s pedal is fully point-to-point wired and assembled with care, with careful choice of components' to replicate the feel and responsiveness of the original. It delivers the kind of dynamic interaction where your touch and guitar’s volume control shine through — yet gives you enough gain to push your amp or take the edge off clean settings, all while retaining clarity and tonal character.

Features

• Handwired Build — Each connection is done by hand with quality components, ensuring strong signal integrity and reliability.

• High Headroom Design: Like the original Klon, it likely uses a voltage doubler to raise the internal voltage from 9V to 18V and have more headroom and dynamic range.
• Buffered Bypass: Like the original Gold Klon, obtained with a low-noise operational amplifier
• Component Choice : Panasonic capacitors, TL072 opamps, germanium clipping diodes
• Excellent Touch Response — This clone retains the nuances of your playing: dig in for grit, pick lightly for cleaner tones.

The pedal is in excellent condition. It has been tested thoroughly, and all functions work as expected: the pots are smooth, the switch is reliable, no crackling or intermittent issues. The enclosure shows normal wear (minor scuffs or surface marks — nothing deep), but nothing that affects performance.

I have included internal layout photos so you can inspect its build quality. If desired, I can also provide sound clips or a video demo upon request.

Why Choose This Clone

Original Klon Centaur pedals are exceedingly rare and often command astronomical prices. Many players opt for high-quality clones to get that sonic flavor without the cost or wait time. This Giovanetti version provides boutique craftsmanship and tonal authenticity, making it a great option for tone seekers and pedalboard builders alike.
