The Reverend is my take on one of my all-time favorite pedals: The sought-after, vintage Bixonic Expandora – One of the first ‘Boutique’ pedals, Made in Japan, used among the greatest guitarists the likes of Joe Satriani, Megadeth, Bootsy Collins, Slipknot… And made famous by Billy Gibbons for its ZZ Top signature sound.

The Expandora was a phenomenal Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz, a highly evolved Rat with an ‘expander’ circuit that made the pedal dynamically sensitive, allowing users to vary the amount of distortion with the pick’s attack or by adjusting their instrument’s volume knob. 

Imagine playing La Grange and being able to go from the clean part to the distortion part just by strumming harder. That’s the magic of this circuit!

The Reverend

Handcrafted from carefully selected parts with extreme attention to detail, the Decibelics Big Klone is a part-for-part replica of the legendary Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive. It includes the same hard-to-find parts as the original and the acclaimed Decibelics Golden Horse, such as the New Old Stock Panasonic ECQ-Series capacitors and the 1N34A N.O.S. Germanium Diodes. It also uses the same combination of carbon and metal film resistors, the tantalum cap, and through-hole electrolytics. Circuit and component values are exact sonic reproduction of an original gold Klon Centaur, horsie close-tail, serial number #2505 from 2001 of my particular collection – a selected best tone unit.

Inside the Big Klone, you will find a Bass Switch and a Clipping Switch. With all switches to the left (Default Original mode) the Centaur core tone remains unaltered – Original sound. With BASS switch set to the right, the Bass Boost is activated, adding significant low-end content while still keeping everything tight and articulate, which will be appreciated by single coil players. With the CLIPPING switch set to the right, the original Germanium diodes are replaced by a combination of Schottky and Low Fv LED, resulting in a more open, agressive distortion.

Big Klone

Handcrafted from carefully selected parts with extreme attention to detail, the Decibelics Golden Royale is a part-for-part replica of the legendary Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive in a dual format. It includes the same hard-to-find parts as the original and the acclaimed Decibelics Golden Horse, such as the New Old Stock Panasonic ECQ-Series capacitors and the 1N34A N.O.S. Germanium Diodes. It also uses the same combination of carbon and metal film resistors, the tantalum cap, and through-hole electrolytics. Circuit and component values are exact sonic reproduction of an original gold Klon Centaur, horsie close-tail, serial number #2505 from 2001 of my particular collection – a selected best tone unit.

It consists of two Decibelics Golden Horse circuits, A&B, with two separate channels that can be used either individually or stacked. It solves the eternal dilemma of using a single Klon/Golden Horse either as a Clean Boost or as an Overdrive, and opens a new world of exquisite tones and textures when combining both channels.

Golden Royal

Decibelics Angry Swede is the first Mini ‘Chainsaw’ HM-2 clone ever made.

+ Hand-built with high-quality standards Decibelics is well known for, and uses old through-hole components just like in the originals from the 80s. It provides huge amounts of raw chainsaw tone in the most pedalboard-friendly footprint. You won’t believe how big and powerful this little monster screams.

+ With this project, as with the Decibelics Golden Horse Mini-Klon project, my goal was to create not only the first Mini HM2 ever made, but also the most accurate yet improved clone. The perfect HM2. This is what the Waza version should have been!
