Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
After finally finding the diodes of the original Klon Centaur, Rockett set about tuning the circuit to match the original: a genuine Klon Centaur Gold. Rockett tuned the Archer Ikon until its resemblance was absolutely imperceptible. The sound is slightly more compressed than the silver Archer and fuller with the Gain setting low (in Boost mode), which is how most musicians use their Klone. With the Gain set to full (in Drive mode), the Archer Ikon demonstrates a smoother, more compressed clipping section, something lacking in many of the Klon copies on the market. The Treble setting respects all frequencies well, perfect for Les Pauls or guitars with humbucking pickups. Like the original Centaur, an internal converter transforms the 9 volt DC power supply into 18 volts to provide all the dynamics for which the Klon is famous, which is also why the Klon works so well with other pedals.
