The Tone Control is a sometimes side-eyed look at the guitar world and making music! We talk about everything good, bad, smart, stupid, and weird about guitar gear and bring it to you every other Monday. You can join our Discord to talk with us and other gear heads at https://discord.gg/H2xTfm6

- Hit Anchor.fm/shuffleall to hear Derek's new podcast!

- Bypass switch, mono/stereo slider, and two buttons for modes
- Y-cable for stereo
- Mode 1: slow, warm chorus. Mode 2: Faster, more dynamic movement
- I + II: Dual chorus, slightly offset LFOs that give a slight Leslie effect
- Cool retro design w/ wood panels. Looks like the Juno 60
- Pedal Genie
- Deep Space Devices - Golem - $169
- Klon Centaur is back (stab: Wampler 30 Something)
- Bill Finnegan, creator of the Klon, is making new models again.
- About 8000 models were made between 1994 and 2000 originally.
- Original production run price was only $225, later went up to $329
- The pedals are built by Bill and are the original Centaur, not the surface-mount KTR model
- He’s putting them on eBay starting at $100. 27 bids later, #3888 sold for over $2000
- At the time of this note, #3952 is at $1358.
- What’s the hot take on this? Are we as guitarists over the Klon?
