Big Klone

OVERDRIVE

BOOSTER

Description

Handcrafted from carefully selected parts with extreme attention to detail, the Decibelics Big Klone is a part-for-part replica of the legendary Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive. It includes the same hard-to-find parts as the original and the acclaimed Decibelics Golden Horse, such as the New Old Stock Panasonic ECQ-Series capacitors and the 1N34A N.O.S. Germanium Diodes. It also uses the same combination of carbon and metal film resistors, the tantalum cap, and through-hole electrolytics. Circuit and component values are exact sonic reproduction of an original gold Klon Centaur, horsie close-tail, serial number #2505 from 2001 of my particular collection – a selected best tone unit. Inside the Big Klone, you will find a Bass Switch and a Clipping Switch. With all switches to the left (Default Original mode) the Centaur core tone remains unaltered – Original sound. With BASS switch set to the right, the Bass Boost is activated, adding significant low-end content while still keeping everything tight and articulate, which will be appreciated by single coil players. With the CLIPPING switch set to the right, the original Germanium diodes are replaced by a combination of Schottky and Low Fv LED, resulting in a more open, agressive distortion.
