Klon Style Overdrive Pedals
Klon Style Overdrive Pedals
Play dynamic, responsive & transparent legendary guitar tone with a Klon, or Klone pedal. As the original Klon guitar pedals are so rare, many companies have designed thier own take on the holy grail of pedals so everyone can celebrate the exciting tone for themselves. At Andertons Music Co, we have an outstanding range of these pedals to choose from.
The signature "Klon" sound is based off of an Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, where it boosts your sound into the overdriven territory, but what makes it special is that is does not colour the natural sound of your guitar and amplifier.
Considered by many as the “Holy Grail” of pedals, the Klon Centaur overdrive pedal was originally developed in the '90s. Manufactured during a six-year period, it is estimated that only 8,000 were made in total, making them incredibly rare and sought after. The Klon is more or less responsible for the 'transparent' buzzword that many companies use to market their own overdrive pedals. Retaining much of the character of your unaffected tone, the Klon could add a sweet and harmonically rich overdrive with excellent bite and sustain.
Companies such as Wampler, Warm Audio and RYRA all make fantastic "Klone's". Tone City have created the Bad Horse Overdrive Pedal which combines a small footprint with an unbeatable price.
