Jack White, der renommierte Gitarrist und ehemalige Frontmann von The White Stripes, besitzt ein originales Klon Centaur Overdrive-Pedal, das speziell an seinen Stil angepasst wurde. Das Pedal befindet sich in einem schwarzen Gehäuse und weicht damit von den üblichen goldenen oder silbernen Ausführungen ab – dank der Unterstützung von Josh Scott von JHS Pedals.  

White's Klon Centaur ist eine relativ neue Ergänzung zu seinem Pedalboard auf der No Name Tour und wird für seine außergewöhnliche Klangqualität geschätzt. Es verleiht dem Gitarrenton eine besondere dreidimensionale Tiefe und wird besonders für seinen mittigen EQ gelobt, der die Klarheit der Noten verbessert und sowohl mit Single-Coil- als auch Humbucker-Tonabnehmern hervorragend harmoniert.  

Als eines der begehrtesten Pedale passt ein authentischer Klon Centaur perfekt zu Whites Ruf als Sammler seltener Musikinstrumente und Equipment.

Centaur Jack White Rehoused

The Klon Centaur is an overdrive pedal developed between 1990 and 1994 by Bill Finnegan and engineers at MIT. The pedal was made by Bill Finnegan, by hand, from 1994 to 20093, then reissued in 2012 with industrial manufacturing. This is one of the first "boutique" pedals. It quickly became very popular among guitarists and acquired a "legendary" status, selling for very high prices on the second-hand market. Several brands have created copies, or Klones, of the Klon Centaur.

Centaur

The Klon KTR Pedal is a revised edition of the legendary Klon Centaur. The circuit is designed completely by Bill Finnegan, and nails the sound of a genuine Centaur. This Klon KTR can produce transparent boost to warm rich overdrive tones, all with the signature mid-range boost that it is famous for.

The Klon KTR is best used pushing a tube amp that's on the edge of breaking up. The KTR is designed to overdrive the amp further into breakup, producing a lively and dynamic lead tone. Besides its obvious mid-range voicing, it is a rather transparent overdrive pedal that wedges its way into your amp to really make it sing in a focused, classic rock and roll kind of way.
