The Klon Centaur is one of the most copied circuits in pedal history, and for good reason — that combination of germanium clipping diodes, active treble control, and charge pump-boosted headroom produces a transparent overdrive that sits in a mix without fighting the amp or the other pedals around it. The Alcmene is All-Pedal's take on that circuit in a mini enclosure, built in Kentucky with NOS 1N34A germanium diodes and a gold-plated PCB.

At low gain it adds presence and body without audibly coloring the tone — the kind of thing that makes everything sound slightly more expensive. Push the gain and the germanium diodes do what they do: a warm, organic saturation that compresses and breathes rather than slamming into hard clipping. The active treble control lets you cut top-end mud or boost clarity depending on the guitar and amp you're running it through.

Comes with a spare blank backplate so it can live on a pedalboard without scratching the artwork. Buffered bypass. 9V DC only — no battery.
