The KTR has been created in cooperation with the designer of the original Klon Centaur.

Produced by the manufacturer that also produced the KTR. With this pedal, I came \u2013 in direct A\/B-comparison- the most close to the sound of a Klon Centaur.<\/p>\n<h3>Wampler Tumnus:<\/h3>\n<p>On the forums the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wamplerpedals.com\/products\/tumnus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wampler Tumnus<\/a> is hyped a lot. It creates a pretty authentic Klon- sound, with a little more base than the original. The Tumnus does not need much space and fits pretty good on every pedalboard.<\/p>\n<h3>EHX SoulFood:<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehx.com\/products\/soul-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soul Food<\/a>\u00a0 by Electro Harmonixis the cheapest pedal\u00a0 and therefor it is known to be the budget-version. However, I did not like it the best because it reduces the lower mids, which are quite striking in the sound of the original. The circuit of the SoulFood is only inspired by the original Klon.<\/p>\n<p>If you have got one of the mentioned clones or maybe even a DIY-clone, how could you compare it best to the original Klon Centaur?<br \/>\nAnd could this comparison be equitable anyway?<\/p>\n<p>As I wrote before, every original Klon Centaur sounds a little varying. If one compares a clone to the original, one always will find the Klon Centaur to be the optimum. That means, in an A\/B-comparison one probably will find out that the clone has got a less bass, some kind of thinner highs and will overdrive a little gritty.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1282,268,3],"tags":[9,69],"class_list":["post-254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ktr","category-pedals","category-effektgeraete","tag-klon-centaur","tag-klon-clone"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9GLlF-46","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":243,"url":"https:\/\/delaydude.de\/en\/klon-centaur\/","url_meta":{"origin":254,"position":0},"title":"Klon Centaur Clone","author":"Delay Dude","date":"Monday March 27th, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Do they sound identically?
