Description: AFTER ELECTION SALE & BEST PRICE ON EBAY Up for auction is a very nice klone overdrive pedal. It's an Aion Refractor and it is a good one. As most know, Aion sells DIY effect pedal kits/projects. I bought this kit new from Aion and built it myself a few years back. I've built a few of their kits and they all sound great. The Refractor is a part-for-part replica of a mythical overdrive effect noted for its high-end tone and price. The Klon Centaur and its successor, the KTR, remain highly original designs in an industry full of clones and tweaks to existing circuits. You won't be disappointed. I want to give you my opinion on this pedal, and I have only one. The pedal sounds great. If you want a Klone pedal and one that doesn't cost much, then this pedal is for you. I own two of these pedals, but I only need one. So out the door it goes. I never painted the exterior, so you have the opportunity to put your own touch on this pedal. Lots of info online and some really good you tube videos. I urge you to check those out. I pack items up properly and I ship out quickly. I do use ebay's Global shipping for all international shipping. Please do not bid if you are not willing to use that service. Below is some more information: The Refractor Professional Overdrive is a clone of the Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive and its successor, the KTR. While the original Centaur was buffered bypass, the newer KTR added the option to switch between buffered bypass (called “Almost Always Better” by the designer) and true bypass (called “Almost Always Worse”). There were an overwhelming number of requests for this to be added to the Refractor, so this updated version implements the switch. As of its release, the Refractor is the only DIY version of the Centaur or KTR that uses the correct true/buffer switch wiring from the original unit. Several other projects use a simpler wiring method that does not preserve the original circuit in buffered mode, which was one of the inventor’s stipulations. Aside from the addition of the true bypass / buffer switch, the KTR is identical to the original Centaur circuit except for two components:A pulldown resistor, RPD, has been added to counteract switch pop in the true-bypass mode.R2 has been changed from 1M to 2M so that the input impedance stays the same with the addition of RPD (since two 2M resistors in parallel make 1M, which was the original value).
