KLON: Centaur

The Klon Centaur - no introduction required really.  Arguably the most famous of all overdrives for guitar?  Likely the most expensive of all overdrives...  

This layout took a lot longer than I thought it would.  In the end, I also realised that I could have shaved a row off, but hey...   maybe I'll come back to it another time.

I used the schematic from Aion FX, minus the pulldown resistor on the input, as this layout does not have the input buffer switch, so it's not really needed.   There's room on the board if you want to add it, just remember to increase the value of the other 1meg diode to 2meg.

KLON DIODES

CAUTION: nerd alert on the diode videos.  Thought it was pointless to post a demo video, so here's a deep dive down the rabbit hole of the mystical Klon Centaur diodes.
