Two Legendary Klon‑Inspired Tones, One Compact Pedal.

NUX Horseman pays homage to the legendary mid-’90s "Klon Centaur" pedals — combining its most sought‑after features into one compact stompbox.

True to the Originals

Gold Mode recreates the transparent overdrive of the classic Gold Centaur, while Silver Mode delivers a boosted, higher-gain inspired by the Silver Centaur.

Dual‑Mode Overdrive

Gold Mode (vintage‑transparent) +
Silver Mode (boosted high‑gain).

Higher Voltage = Higher Headroom

Built-in OP‑AMP voltage converter turns 9V into 18V internally to boost headroom and richer harmonics.

2 Bypass Options

Choose between True Bypass or Buffer Bypass for signal flexibility.

Clean Boost Option

Can function as a clean boost, adding volume without coloring tone — great for pushing amp drive or other pedals.

Natural Distortion

Cranking the gain introduces Schottky‑diode waveform clipping for a smooth, harmonically rich overdrive / distortion.

Two Iconic Pedals in One

NUX Horseman distills the essence of both Klon Centaur variants (Gold + Silver) into a single, pedalboard-friendly mini unit.

Holding the footswitch for 1.5 sec lets you switches between two modes.

Gold Mode (vintage‑transparent)

For a transparent, dynamic overdrive rooted in vintage tone

Silver Mode (boosted high‑gain)

For boosted, high‑gain overdrive with extra punch and clarity
