Description
Why on earth does a single Overdrive fetch a premium price of over 200,000 yen?
It was a device coveted by guitarists everywhere, and a rare model that was suddenly discontinued in 2009 after around 8,000 units were made.
It is a magical effect that is rumored to "improve the sound just by connecting it," and is a professional piece of equipment that can almost always be found at the feet of a master.
This is the ultimate drive pedal that guitar sound seekers will eventually reach, and it has an irreplaceable tone, so once you're hooked, you won't be able to let it go.
However, despite being such a special effect that everyone knows about, there are still many mysteries surrounding it, and it feels as though its legend has begun to take on a life of its own.
So, is the Kron Centaur really the most powerful overdrive ever made?
With the cooperation of numerous experts, including professional guitarists, famous pedal designers, and well-known equipment writers, the Effector Book editorial team will put all their efforts into verifying the truth!
