It's more expensive than a TS reissue, but if I save you the hassle of buying several other ODs in between the TS and the Centaur, it's worth your money for sure. |
Keep in mind that the Centaur Horsey-Man, besides costing the same as a decent small amp, isn't a Tubescreamer and doesn't act or sound like a tubescreamer. It IS a very good OD (though overhyped and obviously overpriced, imho), but it's a different beast.
I'm a Cochrane Timmy man myself - cost half as much as a Klon with more tonal variety available and in a nice, small package. Plus, Paul Cochrane is one of the nicest builders I've ever come across.
