In 1994, one Bill Finnegan (and two engineers from MIT) sat down and created the Klon Centaur, one of the most talked-about circuits of all time. While it was at its core an overdrive circuit, it boasted several innovations that put it ahead of the rest of the stuff out there. For one, it included a robust power supply that provided a theoretical 27 volts of headroom from a nine-volt supply. Perhaps more notably, the Centaur thrust the idea of dual-gang potentiometers into the groupthink of pedal development. While these weren’t cutting-edge tech in 1994, very few pedals utilized them. In fact, the Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe is one of the only popular pedals I can remember using one (C100K in fact).

Manual

OD820 Overdrive Pro

The Maxon ST-9 Pro+ Super Tube Pedal stakes a big claim for being one of the most sonically customisable overdrive pedals ever invented. The secret behind this incredible functionality and tone lies in the design which was loosely based on the late 70s OD-808, just with some major upgrades.

The Mid Enhance control lets you vary the amount of iconic mid-boost that Maxon overdrives provide, while the Low Boost switch allows a rumbling low-end response with increased saturation thanks to an alternate set of clipping diodes. Add to this, the pedal can operate at either 9V or 18; run at 9V for the classic 808 sound or switch to 18V for increased headroom, improved dynamics, and thicker, chunkier overdriven textures.

ROD881

Designed in homage to classic 70’s distortion modulators such as the Flying Pan and Jetlyzer (both of which Maxon designed and built for Ibanez), the VJR-9 Vintage Jet Riser creates a Doppler jet effect so realistic you can almost feel the wind in your hair.

Rather than sticking with the old-school Jet design of phase shifter into distortion, the VJR-9 features an analog Bucket-Brigade Flanger as the modulation source to add a more realistic depth of field to the effect.  Speed and Width controls allow adjustment of the flanging from slow takeoff to sonic boom.
