Mythical beasts...

So had some funds available to try something otherwise unthinkable and I’ve never played an original Klon Centaur so I took the plunge (with not a little berating of self and stern talking to)

Now. I know that there is bound to be a certain amount of post purchase rationalisation (Although I plan to sell at some point (or did..). And don’t anticipate losing money on it) but what a pedal. I’ve lost hours so far. Difficult to explain but it just seems to hit a sweet spot at a range of gain levels. 

Appeciate that some abuse may follow - and to be clear I bought it expecting to debunk and flip - but at the moment I’m buying the hype.

I hope you are also wearing golden slippers too when activating it...??

I've owned a few originals. they are nice. But not 2k nice.

I'd rather buy a 2k amp than a 2k stompbox.
You've pretty much got any amp to choose from at that sort of price.

I had a chance to buy Klon at retail a long time ago.  Thought £300 was too much for it.  D'Oh!

I think it's great that you've committed to going for the real thing - that's the only way you'll ever be happy and let's face it you can always sell it if you need to or decide it's not worth the hype.

Having played a couple and compared them to my clones my perspective is that the 'magic' is in your head. But then so is all of your subjective reality so it doesn't matter either way. If it makes you happy then that's the bottom line..

Enjoy!

I personally wouldn't fork out for an original when there are so many good klones out there, but I understand why people want the genuine article. 

This is coming from a man who buys original megadrive games at £50+ a go when I could just get an emulator for free!
