Pre-Owned Decibelics Golden Horse Professional Overdrive

The Decibelics Golden Horse Professional Overdrive: Boutique Klon Inspired Tone in a Mini Format

Premium Klon Style Overdrive

The Decibelics Golden Horse Professional Overdrive represents an obsessive pursuit of one of the most revered overdrive circuits ever created. Built by hand using carefully selected thru-hole components and New Old Stock parts, the Golden Horse was designed to deliver the unmistakable feel, response, and harmonic richness associated with a highly sought-after original gold Klon Centaur while occupying a remarkably compact footprint.

Handmade Boutique Construction

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each Golden Horse is assembled one at a time with extraordinary attention to detail. The circuit employs the same component values found in the original inspiration, including Panasonic ECQ Series N.O.S. capacitors, N.O.S. 1N34A germanium diodes, a tantalum capacitor in the C16 position, and a carefully selected blend of carbon and metal film resistors. Every component choice serves a purpose, contributing to the touch sensitivity, clarity, and musical response that players expect from a world class overdrive.

Dynamic Headroom and Articulate Response

A charge pump that elevates the internal operating voltage from 9V to 18V, provides increased headroom and exceptional note definition. Whether used as a clean boost, edge of breakup enhancer, or primary overdrive, the pedal retains remarkable articulation while preserving the natural character of your guitar and amplifier. Buffered bypass operation further ensures signal integrity throughout your rig.

Studio Tested Performance

The Golden Horse stands apart through its commitment to authenticity. Each unit was originally designed to be compared directly against a specific 2001 gold Klon Centaur, serial number 2505, regarded by its builder as one of the finest sounding examples encountered. The result is a pedal that offers rich harmonic content, focused midrange presence, and the transparent yet musical drive characteristics that have made this style of circuit a favorite among discerning players worldwide.

Included Accessories

This pre-owned example includes the original white deluxe shipping box with foam interior, English manual, certificate of authenticity, and four rubber feet. It is an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly respected boutique overdrive known for its meticulous craftsmanship and premium component selection.
