Reverb customers from the United States: In some States, Reverb can charge a small fee during checkout. If you want to avoid this fee, place your order on the Decibelics website instead.

Customers from the UK after Brexit: As of January 1st, you may have noticed that the price of my pedals has now dropped as the 21% EU VAT is no longer applied to UK orders. However, please note that with the new Brexit regulations, and based on what my recent UK customers reported, UK Customs may charge you 20% VAT and £12 admin fee. Some reported receiving the pedal at no charge, but they seem to be the exception.

-------------------

Decibelics Golden Horse Professional Overdrive is the result of all my experience studying and building Klon Centaur clones squeezed into a mini enclosure. Fully handmade from thru-hole, New Old Stock components and same values as the original. No SMD or approximated values - My goal was to give Tone and Mojo in a mini footprint. You are not buying a mass-produced and lifeless pedal here. The Decibelics Golden Horse is the only klone in the market, that is A/B tested against a real gold Centaur prior to be shipped to you.

Specs:

+ Exact sonic reproduction of my original gold Klon Centaur, horsie close-tail, serial number 2505 from 2001 (See pictures above) Among my Silver and Gold originals, this particular unit was undoubtely the one with the best tone.
+ Mini luxury format, vintage and thru-hole components, totally built one by one, with extreme dedication. Fruit of years of experience studying the circuit and building Klones for professional guitar players.
+ Same Panasonic ECQ-Series N.O.S. capacitors as the original
+ Same N.O.S. 1N34A Germanium diodes (Clear crystal and black band as the original, made in USA) – The commonly known as Magic Diodes (No russian blue and red stripped diodes as others mount– Same as the original!)
+ Same combination of carbon and metal film resistors
+ Same Tantalum capacitor in position C16
+ Same format on capacitors in values ​​above 1uf -Electrolytics- adapted to the size of the pedal
+ Same Charge Pump that raises internal voltage from 9V to 18V for bigger headroom
+ Same values ​​and highest quality in the other components: Opamps TL072 from Texas Instruments, noiseless Charge Pump from superior quality, Bourns Pro Audio potentiometers, Footswitch Alpha DPDT, Lumberg Japan jacks, Aluminium enclosure powdercoated and screen-printed by hand
+ Buffered bypass, same as the original, with correct values
+ PCB board of my own design, with parasitic noise level optimization

Accessories included: White Shipping Box deluxe (Foam inside), 4 Rubber Feet, English Manual, Certificate of Authenticity.

Since October 2020, and after customer feedback, the external battery adapter is no longer included. If you need one, let me know after your order is made.

You can ask for a picture of your pedal and the original gold Klon Centaur before it's shipped to you.
