Meet ALCMENE: a mini pedal loaded with all the authentic and famous qualities of the Klon Centaur, such as Germanium clipping diodes, gold plated circuit board, active treble control, buffer and more! Giving you more gain than the classic Klon pedal, ALCMENE will offer this sought after sound going from a light transparent overdrive to a full Germanium saturation for a more rock style.
According to Greek mythology, Zeus and Alcmene had an affair from which Heracles, the slayer of centaurs was born.
Staying true to form, we used only NOS 1N34A Germanium Clipping diodes in the circuit. Turn up the Gain and you turn up True Germanium Distortion!
