NUX's Horseman combines both Gold and Silver Klons in one $69 mini pedal
Big drive sounds, one small enclosure
Chinese pedal maker NUX has announced the Horseman, a new mini pedal that crams two legendary circuits – the Gold and Silver Klon Centaurs – into one small enclosure.
The operation is excessively straightforward – hold down the footswitch and the gold pedal switches into silver mode, increasing the voltage up to 18V with more gain and headroom.
The three-knob layout boasts controls for treble, output and gain, and there’s also optional true/buffered bypass.
Best of all, the Horseman retails for considerably less than that vintage Klon – just $69.
For more information, head to NUX.
