Bill Finnegan, the original designer and builder of the now legendary and highly coveted Klon Centaur overdrive pedals is now building and selling them again on a limited basis on eBay under the username klondirectsales.
"I'm Bill Finnegan, designer of the original Klon overdrive circuit, designer of the Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive unit incorporating that original circuit, and also the hand-builder of every single Centaur unit from the beginning of Centaur production in late 1994 until the end of that initial production a few years ago. Now, on a small scale, I am again hand-building a few Centaur units for sale by my company Klon LLC. Given the many demands on my time these days, and also given the labor-intensive and time-consuming nature of building Centaurs, it's inevitable that I will be able to build only a small number of these units, but I hope and expect to continue to be able to do so on a regular basis for some years to come. In the intervening years, I have occasionally built Centaur units and given them to a very close friend of mine so that she could sell them on eBay (to help her get through various financial difficulties), and I intend to continue doing so; as they've always been, those listings will be hers and not mine, and whatever money she derives from those listings will also be hers and not mine. Again, as with the units I have built for my friend over those intervening years, these units from Klon LLC will be hand-built by me in the exact same way as before, with original parts as before, and with the exact same testing as I have done throughout."
