Harby Pedals USA overdrive-boost-buffer guitar effect pedal CENTAURI

Specifications
Modernized
The original Centaurﾒs components were attached to the circuit board using ﾓthrough-holeﾔ techniques, with pins that go through the circuit board and are soldered on its underside. This process got the job done, but it was expensive and time-consuming. Eventually, Bill Finnegan began producing his pedals using surface-mount technology (SMT), attaching the components directly to the circuit boardﾒs face. This is the method we used to design the Harby Centauri.

True to the original
Bill Finnegan once said of his 1N34A germanium clipping diodes that they are ﾓﾅ the most important factor in how the circuit sounds when itﾒs being used to create distortion.ﾔ As a tribute to his insight, the Centauri uses only 1N34A diodes, with an original forward voltage of 0.35v (ﾱ15%). Itﾒs also built using the original Centaur circuit board layout and features its buffered bypass, rather than the more modern true bypass.
