Description: BEST PRICE ON EBAY Up for auction is an awesome overdrive pedal. It's a Harby Centauri. This is Harby's take on the highly coveted Klon overdrive. It will go from a wonderful clean boost to various flavors of low to medium overdriven tones. Very dynamic and stacks well with other dirt pedals. Harby is a small builder of upscale boutique pedals. They are well-built and sound great. See last paragraph for more detailed description. I own two of these, but I only need one. Both were new when I bought them. I've played it twice in my home studio. Last time right before listing it. The pedal functions properly and sounds awesome. Comes with the original box and instruction card. Everything you'd get if you bought it new from a music store. I pack items up properly and I ship out quickly. I do use ebay's Global shipping for all international shipping. Please do not bid if you are not willing to use that service. Below is some additional info: In 1994, Bill Finnegan made a legendary contribution to the guitar industry: the Klon Centaur overdrive stomp pedal. With a clear, well-articulated sound that’s free from synthetic, solid-state distortion and unnecessary heaviness, the Centaur became a favorite among guitarists everywhere, and its popularity hasn’t declined since.Not everyone could get their hands on one, though. Finnegan only built 8,000 units, and these days, they command prices in the neighborhood of $7,000. So naturally, many guitarists opened up Centaurs to study the circuit board schematics in order to copy them and build their own. For years, these guitarists were thwarted by a thick layer of epoxy coating every Centaur circuit board. It wasn’t until 2009 that Martin Chittum finally managed to remove the resin from a Centaur and the schematics were revealed.Like our fellow pedal junkies, we decided to recreate the Centaur to take up less space on your stomp board without sacrificing the original’s clarity and sweetness. Using the original circuit board design and parts that Finnegan himself relied on, the Harby Centauri can be used on any pedal board for a huge range of applications. Use it on its own to juice up your output, get a clean boost with the drive knob turned all the way down, or combine it with fuzz and distortion pedals to add a slightly thicker character to their heavy grit. With its buffered bypass, the Centauri, like the original Klon Centaur, is never truly off. Its mellow, clear tone can always be relied on in the studio and on-stage.All that said, we’d never claim that the Centauri is a perfect sonic match to any Klon. Finnegan himself said that the sound varied from Centaur to Centaur, due to the nature of the clipping diodes he used. We’ve simply attempted to replicate the Centaur’s quality and richness through a faithful reconstruction according to Finnegan’s specifications. The results speak for themselves.
