![]() RYRA Klone Overdrive PedalĪt first glance, you might not assume the Soul Food is a Centaur clone. Rockett Audio Designs pedal is nevertheless worth a look if you’re in the market for a Centaur alternative. Most customers are quite happy with their purchase but not surprisingly, some guitarists weren’t able to get their desired tone out of this unit. Not even close.Īnd, I think the Archer has its own charm too. Of course, you wouldn’t be spending as much on the Archer as you would be on the Centaur. I find it colors the tone of the guitar quite a bit. It’s a nice sounding pedal, and contrary to manufacturer claims, you can dial in a fair bit of dirt with it.ĭoes it sound as good as the Centaur? Certainly not to my ears. Rockett has chosen to market this pedal as a clean boost as opposed to an overdrive pedal, presumably to separate it from the droves of other options available.

Honestly, it doesn’t do enough for my tastes.īut you can get some good gritty tones with the gain all the way up. Having listened to how the pedal sounds myself, I must agree with Wampler – this isn’t an overdrive as much as it is a dirty boost. Wampler effectively considers this a “dirty boost” that can be used in tandem with other overdrive or distortion units.īecause it isn’t true bypass, it can also be used as a buffer. Nice to know it should fit even on a crowded pedalboard.Īnd, again, Wampler is not shy about pointing out that this is effectively a Centaur clone. The Tumnus, as with the Archer, resembles the Centaur in several ways (three knobs, color, etc.), with the main difference being its size. ![]() Wampler has a strong reputation among users of overdrive and distortion pedals.
