NPD - Behringer Centaur Overdrive

[rwillett]

This finally turned up today, I ordered it about three weeks ago from Andertons, to see what the fuss was about. I can't compare it to a Klone as I've never knowingly heard one so wouldn't have a clue.

 

 

This is the original artwork version, the new ones are called Centara and have a slightly different half-man/half horse (I don't want to get sued for calling it by any other name  )

A quick check on eBay shows that the loonies wanting $10,000 have gone and the range of prices is from £771.72 down to £52.72.

 

I'm happy to split the difference and sell it for £310. Nah, just joking. I'm going to plug it into and see how it sounds on a Strat and on a Jazz. It feels quite chunky and well made to be honest. If anybody has a Klone they wish to lend me to compare, feel free.

 

Thanks

Andertons own comparison video is hilarious

 

 

 

From about £50 all the way up to a real one.

 

And they all sound the same.

Thanks for this.

 

Just watched it all the way through and am delighted that I've got the cheapest pedal there. However as it sounds no different to the genuine Klon I am more than happy to sell it for a genuine Klon price, seems fair to me  Or should it be that the original Klon is not worth more than £59 now?

 

I have a feeling that the original Behringer colouring and design will actually be worth a bit more in 30 years time, we see the Japanese lawsuit Les Pauls now being flogged on eBay for silly money, we already have muppets on eBay trying to sell their lawsuit Behringer Centaurs, perhaps they will be worth gazillions then. 

 

Stuff it, I'm going to plug it in, wind the strat up and the Jazz and see what it sounds like

 

Thanks

Mine arrived today as well!

 

There were some chancers on ebay trying to sell these at £20,000 - more than a real one!

 

Naturally I offered £40.

There's still a fair few chancers on there now. I might do the same.
