Ghost Drive Transparent Overdrive Pedal
Four years ago, we put our heads down and dove headfirst into the most hyped pedal of all time. We wanted to see what really made the mythical Klon Centaur Transparent Overdrive so special—what was inside this thing that turned it into legend. We pulled it apart, piece by piece, to deconstruct the magic, if you will.
Then we rebuilt it. Faithfully recreating the circuit, scouring the globe to track down the very same components Bill Finnegan used in the originals. The goal wasn't "close enough." The goal was a true tribute—authentic down to the tiniest detail.
Here's the thing: original Klons still sell for $5,000–$10,000 on Reverb. That puts them out of reach for most players. We wanted to change that—to capture the authentic tone of a legend and make it something within reach of any guitar player.
