Olbia
High-headroom Klon-style drive with active 3-band EQ
Description
Olbia is our evolved take on the Centaur circuit, engineered to address the original’s limitations and expand its tonal palette. While the classic operates its gain stage at standard voltage, Olbia internally runs at 15V, providing increased headroom and a more open, uncompressed feel at the input. Outdated, noisy charge pumps (such as the 7660) have been replaced with a silent, modern power supply for studio-quiet operation. For added texture, your signal travels through a distinctive clipping sequence — first a Red LED, then NOS Soviet D2 diodes — delivering complex, harmonically rich grit. With separate Overdrive and Clean Blend controls for precise mixing, and an active 3-band EQ for tone shaping, this delivers a Klon-style sound without compromise.
Controls
- Drive - gain level.
- Clean - clean signal level
- 3-band EQ - active EQ with filters centered around 80Hz (Bass), 800Hz (Mid), and 1.5kHz (Treble).
- Volume - output volume.
- LED brightness trimmer - placed on the PCB, the trimmer allows you to adjust the status LED brightness.
About the name
Named after Pontic Olbia—written as Olbio by the Greeks and known as Olvia in Ukraine—this ancient city lies near Vitalii’s hometown. As the son of history teachers, Vitalii spent his childhood exploring its ruins, making it the perfect personal counterpoint to the Klon’s mythological roots.
