Description
The Ceriatone Horsebreaker is a boutique dual-overdrive pedal that combines two of the most iconic overdrive circuits in the guitar world—the legendary Klon Centaur and the Marshall Bluesbreaker. Designed for tonal flexibility and high-quality construction, the Horsebreaker allows players to harness the best of both worlds in a single compact enclosure.
Features:
Dual Overdrive Circuits:
"Horse" Side (Klon Centaur Inspired):
Known for its transparent overdrive, the Horse side provides a clean boost to medium-gain overdrive. It excels at enhancing your guitar’s natural tone, offering warmth and clarity without overpowering your signal. It features the characteristic midrange bump and touch sensitivity the Klon is famous for.
"Breaker" Side (Marshall Bluesbreaker Inspired):
Modeled after the Bluesbreaker pedal, the Breaker side delivers a smooth, amp-like overdrive with a classic British flavor. It’s perfect for adding grit and character to your tone, making it ideal for blues, rock, and even cleanish rhythm work.
Flexible Signal Routing:
Each side of the Horsebreaker can be used independently or stacked together for a wide range of gain stages. The pedal also allows you to switch the stacking order, letting you decide whether to place the Horse or the Breaker first in the signal chain.
Simple Yet Powerful Controls:
Both sides of the pedal feature dedicated Gain, Tone, and Level knobs, making it easy to dial in your preferred tone.
High-Quality Components:
Ceriatone’s attention to detail shines through in the Horsebreaker’s robust construction and use of premium components, ensuring durability and superior sound quality.
Sound and Versatility:
The Horse side is perfect for players seeking a clean boost or low-gain overdrive that retains their guitar’s natural tone, with added midrange and harmonic richness.
The Breaker side captures the essence of cranked British amps, offering smooth breakup and dynamic response that works well for blues and classic rock tones.
When stacked, the Horsebreaker provides a thick, harmonically rich tone that can go from edge-of-breakup to saturated lead tones, making it a versatile tool for any guitarist’s pedalboard.
Why Choose the Horsebreaker?
It’s an excellent choice for players who love the tones of the Klon and Bluesbreaker but want the convenience of both circuits in one pedal.
With its stacking capabilities and customizable signal chain, the Horsebreaker offers unparalleled flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles.
Boutique quality at a competitive price point, delivering professional-grade tones without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re a blues enthusiast, a classic rock player, or a modern tone chaser, the Ceriatone Horsebreaker delivers inspiring tones and exceptional versatility in a well-built, road-ready package.

According to Beetronics; "Circuit #0, our hive's Bluesbreaker-inspired creation, harmonizes vintage amp tones with crystal-clear crispness, all while preserving that beloved tube-like warmth. Plus, its three flavors give you control over the low-end oomph. Circuit #1 is our hive's take on the legendary Klon. All those iconic transparent overdrive tones are here, with a sweet honey twist.
