Harby Centauri Overdrive/Boost/Buffer Pedal - Klon Circuit | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Harby Centauri overdrive pedal recreates the legendary Klon Centaur circuit with remarkable clarity and sweetness. This versatile pedal delivers transparent overdrive, clean boost, and buffered bypass functionality in a compact design. Ideal for professional guitarists and tone enthusiasts seeking the coveted Klon sound without vintage pricing.

Product Overview

Built using the original Klon Centaur circuit board layout and authentic component specifications, the Centauri features genuine Texas Instruments TL072 op-amps and NOS 1N34A germanium clipping diodes. The gold-plated PCB with ENIG finish ensures superior signal integrity and long-term reliability. Surface-mount technology provides the same quality as Bill Finnegan's later Centaur production while maintaining consistent tonal characteristics.

The pedal's three-knob configuration offers complete control over your sound with volume, drive, and tone controls. Solid anodized aluminum knobs provide precise adjustment and professional durability. Neutrik input and output jacks deliver reliable connectivity for studio and live performance applications.

The buffered bypass circuit remains active even when the overdrive is disengaged, maintaining signal clarity and preventing tone loss in long cable runs. This feature makes the Centauri invaluable for complex pedalboard setups where signal integrity is paramount.
