Pedals that stack with the Klon Centaur

Ibanez Tube Screamer

Stacking the Klon's transparent boost with the Screamer's mid-forward drive is a well-worn combo for pushing an amp harder while keeping note clarity. — also used together by 1 artist

Beetronics Nectar

Running the Klon ahead of the Nectar's higher-gain settings adds clean push without losing the transparency both pedals are known for.

Beetronics Overhive

Stack the Klon's midrange bump in front of the Overhive's own transparent gain for two boosts with slightly different character rather than a wall of drive.

Boss BD-2 Blues Driver

Two clear, transparent drives — stack the Blues Driver into the Klon and the breakup layers without turning muddy or losing note definition.

MXR Micro Amp

The Micro Amp's clean, transparent boost pushes the Klon's midrange breakup harder without adding its own coloration.

Walrus Audio Mako D1 High-Fidelity Stereo Delay V1

The Mako D1's high-fidelity stereo delay follows the Klon's transparent boost for a wide, modern trail. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII The Analog Leslie Simulator

The Rotosphere and Klon are a documented combo, the Klon's transparent boost pushing the Rotosphere's tube preamp into a fuller, more driven Leslie swirl. — also used together by 3 artists

Ashdown Velvet Compressor

The Klon's transparent boost pushes into the Velvet Compressor's smooth, low-noise squash without masking its clarity.

Electro-Harmonix Canyon

The Klon's transparent midrange boost pushes the Canyon's own modulated delay circuit louder without recoloring the repeats. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Friedman IR-D

The Klon's transparent midrange boost pushes the IR-D's own clean, tube-driven DI signal louder without recoloring it.

Cordovox TR-8

The Klon's transparent midrange boost pushes the TR-8's own vintage tremolo pulse louder without recoloring it.

JAM Pedals Tubedreamer

Stack the Klon's transparent midrange boost on the Tubedreamer's own compressed TS-style clarity for two distinct boosts, not a wall of gain.

Ashdown Macchiato Compressor Guy Pratt Signature

The Klon's transparent midrange boost pushes the Macchiato's own compressed bass tone louder without recoloring it.

EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird V2

The Klon's transparent midrange boost pushes the Hummingbird's vintage tremolo pulse louder without recoloring it.

Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive

Stack the Klon's transparent midrange boost on the Sweet Honey's own natural, expressive drive for two distinct boosts, not a wall of gain.

Electro-Harmonix Bad

Running the Bad Stone's phase sweep after the Klon keeps the swirl reading clearly against the drive instead of blurring into it.

Blackstar HT-Boost

Stack the Klon's clear midrange boost with the HT-Boost's own natural, valve-driven saturation for two distinct shades of push.

Pete Cornish LD-1

Run the transparent LD-1 into the Klon and the midrange boost pushes an already-consistent, boutique-buffered signal further.

Strymon El Capistan

El Capistan's tape-style echo trails the Klon's midrange breakup with warm repeats rather than any added gain. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Gamechanger Audio Plasma Pedal

The Klon's transparent midrange boost pushes the Plasma's own uniquely natural, ionized distortion louder without recoloring it.

Alexander Pedals History Lesson Vol. 2

Boost with the Klon's clear midrange push before the History Lesson's delay so the echoes pick up that transparent breakup. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Max

Push the Holy Grail Max's simple, natural spring reverb with the Klon's clear midrange boost and the wash gets a brighter signal to swell into. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Walrus Audio Luminary

Boost with the Klon first and the Luminary's octave tracking stays clean and accurate off a fuller, more consistent signal.

Vertex Steel String Slight Return

Two transparent overdrives stacked - the Slight Return's touch sensitivity in front of the Klon's midrange push - build sustain gradually instead of all at once.
