Sell them at TGP for profit

My first thought is Why?
If you plan on selling them and making a huge profit you may be disappointed, for an unknown builder it is quite hard to make a profit.
Now if you just enjoy building and want to make enough money to keep you in parts for your next build I say go for it.

Use your own layout if you intend to sell them.

Anyone know the price of the new centaur? I might get one just to see what the fuss is about.

I don't think they've announced a price yet, but you can be sure a lot of people'll be flipping 'em after they've seen what the fuss is about.
Wait it out, you'll pick up one for teh cheepz.

I might just build one when i have time, I have the klon buffer cct here and it is really nice for playing cleanish. In actual fact that buffer is so nice it would probably tidy up a lot of shitty sounding od/dist pedals
Thing I've heard about the klon is its the magical mystery diodes that gives it it's pixie dust mojo drive. But it's all bollocks i suppose cos most peeps just use it as clean boost with the drive turned down.

What you're saying is true, Buffalo Steve. I actually like the sound of the Centaur's overdrive, but you're right, it's rather mild sounding. Better as a cleanish boost.

honestly, you won't make any money, especially with the new Klon coming out. a Klon at $300 that's smaller than the original that sounds just as good is gonna sell a fortune. as ridiculous as a $300 overdrive sounds to me, you have all the "KLOOOOOOOOOOOOOONN AND DAMBLE TOANZ" people who have been waiting years for this shit.

But we already know it won't ever sound as good as the original.
Duh?
