Hagerman Amplification Neokløn Mythical Beast Overdrive

Earlier this month, I dove back into the world of Hagerman Amplification, as I got to check out their amazing Gamma Radiatiøn Transistor Distortion. Today, we’re sticking in the same general area, but investigating a classic circuit that produces tones everyone is chasing, but in a way that won’t break the bank. The Neokløn Mythical Beast Overdrive roars into any rig, bringing tonal balance, speaker crunch and much, much more…

The NEOKLØN is a completely re-imagined and re-vamped mythical beast overdrive pedal design with improved headroom and lower noise. After deconstructing the classic design, it was greatly simplified by removing the flat bandwidth response at minimum gain, instead making the very useful tonal response at medium-low gain the new minimum gain characteristic. A few other architectural changes improved performance, all while retaining the desirable tonality and breakup properties of the original.

The Neokløn Mythical Beast Overdrive lets you get all the Centaur-related overdrive and boost sounds you’ve been chasing, as well as discover some new tones you never knew you needed. And at a steal at just $139.00, it not only fits into any pedalboard, but any budget, too. Glad to be checking out some more pedals from Hagerman Amplification – thanks so much to Jim for sending this one my way! We’ve got a couple more coming soon, so stay tuned, and don’t forget to check out our demo on YouTube – cheers!!
