StewMac Ghost Drive Pedal Kit
More than a "klone"—it's the closest we've ever seen to the real thing! Few pedals reach mythical status like the Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive. We scoured the world for the EXACT right components to recreate this "holy grail" circuit.
Considered the finest transparent overdrive ever, the original Klon is shrouded in mystery, epoxy, and hype—but amazingly, it delivers. It's a guitar player's dream come true: saturated tube tone from your amp at a reasonable volume. It doesn't change the character of your amp, you get just the right amount of overdrive without losing your unique tone.
Don't buy your next pedal—build it!
Original Klon's are selling for up to $10,000 (and they're still going up)! Many big pedal makers make their own "klones", but they never quite get it right. With this kit you'll be hand-wiring every component to the board, just like the originals. Many believe the hand-wired circuit has a huge impact on the tone of this pedal. And…the black epoxy is optional.
All the right components
We dug deep to find the identical pair of 1N34A germanium diodes just like the original. Many claim these diodes were the heart of the original Klon and why so many of the imitators fall short.
This pedal is extremely easy to use: just gain, treble, and output. The gain is where the magic is by adding sweet saturation and harmonics while retaining the character of your amp. The treble acts as a boost or cut, allowing you to dial in the perfect mid-range for your tone.
