Why This Klon Alternative Fixes What the Centaur Got Wrong - Hagerman Neoklon

The Klon Centaur is one of the most iconic overdrive pedals ever made — but even legendary circuits have design compromises. In this video, I take a deep dive into two fundamental issues in the original Klon circuit and show how the Hagerman NEOKLON, a Klon-style overdrive pedal designed by Jim Hagerman, quietly fixes both while preserving the classic Klon tone. This is a technical but musical Klon comparison, covering low-gain transparency, op-amp headroom, waveform behavior, noise floor, stacking, and what really happens when the Klon’s gain goes past 2 o’clock. With direct insight from the designer, we’ll break down exactly how the NEOKLON improves clarity, gain control, and feel without losing the soul of the Klon Centaur sound. ⚡ If you’ve ever wondered: • Why does the Klon sound flat at very low gain? • Why does the noise floor increase at higher settings? • Why do some Klon clones feel smoother or more dynamic? • Is the Hagerman NEOKLON actually a better Klon? This video answers all of that — with real demos, not hype. ⚡ A/B demos include: • Klon vs Neoklon low-gain transparency • Medium-gain breakup comparison • High-gain op-amp clipping behavior • NEOKLON headroom improvements • Clean boost performance • Stacking the NEOKLON with a RAT Whether you’re a Klon purist, a pedal nerd, or searching for the best Klon Centaur alternative, this breakdown gives you the full picture — technically and musically. ⏱️ Chapters below ↓ If you enjoy tone deep-dives, Klon-style pedals, and guitar gear explained clearly, consider subscribing.
