Behringer made a copy of the famous Klon Centaur guitar pedal for just $69. The company copied everything from the gold case to the red knobs and mythical beast picture. Bill Finnegan sued Behringer for stealing his design without permission. Stores ran out of the pedals after people heard about the lawsuit. Guitar players started selling the pedals online for crazy prices.
Some sellers ask over $2000 for a pedal that costs $69 at stores. Most listings range from $500 to $1000 on auction websites. One seller claims prices will keep rising because stores cannot sell them anymore. The original Klon Centaur costs thousands of dollars and famous guitarists like John Mayer use them. Josh Scott once jokingly listed a vintage Klon for half a million dollars online.
