Selltronics Klon-a-pin DEMO + REVIEW | NOS 1N34a germanium diodes Klon Centaur clone | Guitar + Bass

John Selltronics vintage pedal reproductions are objectively among the best. The bar is already sky high when it comes to faithful replicas of the Klon Centaur. Find the most brutal and concise review of the Klon-a-pin below:

Pros:
strictly THD build
highest quality components
the true NOS 1N34a Ge diodes tested for quality
can run on 9V batteries (the same freedom of the original)
faithful replica of the original
noiseless operation

Cons:
literally none

Neutral:
no clear coat over the stickers (they may wear off in time)

The Verdict:
John knew his task would be great: klones are abundant and standing out is no easy feat. And still he succeeded. Combine objective quality, the true 1N34a NOS diodes and a unique look, and the Klon-a-pin easily manages to look the part. We would spray a clear coat of lacquer over the stickers to keep them looking as they did on the first day. We would change nothing else about this pedal otherwise. It joins our klone collection, forever. Get it for a faithful Klone replica. Beyond it, get it for an awesome pedal that will still be used even if you have other klones, NOS components or otherwise. It deserves our highest praise among the best pedals ever made!
