Warm Audio Centavo Overdrive

Guitarists seeking the coveted sound of the Klon Centaur, a legendary overdrive pedal known for its transparency, boost, and smooth breakup, can rejoice. The Warm Audio Centavo offers an accurate recreation of this iconic effect at a fraction of the original’s price.

MOD switch

The Centavo is comfortable acting as a boost pedal, but the saturation in the higher gain settings provides a platform for true “transparent” overdriven rhythm tones.

Adding the MOD switch on the back – famously requested by Jeff Beck on the original pedal- allows players to extend the bass response, impacting the lower strings to get added low-end drive tones.

Warm Audio Centavo: Built for Legendary Tone

The Warm Audio Centavo isn’t just another overdrive pedal. It’s meticulously crafted with premium components to deliver the authentic sound and feel of a legendary overdrive. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Uncompromising Tone: Experience the magic of TL072 op-amps, vintage-style diodes, and a charge-pump voltage regulator, meticulously chosen to replicate the iconic sound.
• Seamless Integration: Buffered bypass ensures no signal loss when the pedal is off, maintaining your pristine tone.
• Intuitive Controls: Dial in your perfect sound with simple Gain, Treble, and Output controls.
• Extended Low-End Response: The MOD switch on the back unlocks additional low-end power, perfect for thicker tones.
• Classic Aesthetics: A custom-cast “Champagne” enclosure with accurately tapered oxblood knobs adds a touch of vintage flair to your pedalboard.
• Plug and Play: Connect using standard 1/4″ input and output jacks. Power it with a 9V battery or a standard 9V DC pedal adapter (not included).

Why is the Klon Centaur so sought-after?

Produced from 1994 to 2009, the Klon Centaur has become a holy grail for guitarists due to its:

• Praised Clean Boost and Overdrive: Musicians like Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, John Mayer, and Josh Homme have used the Klon Centaur to achieve transparent boost, smooth overdrive, and mythical tonal magic.
• Rarity and High Cost: Original Klon Centaurs fetch exorbitant prices, but the Warm Audio Centavo offers a more attainable solution.

Warm Audio Centavo: Capturing the Legend

The Warm Audio Centavo faithfully replicates the Klon Centaur experience, allowing guitarists to:

• Achieve Legendary Tones: Enjoy the same revered boost and overdrive characteristics that made the original Klon Centaur famous.
• Experience Transparency: The Centavo preserves the natural character of your guitar and amp, adding subtle enhancement rather than drastic coloration.
• Own a Piece of History: At a significantly lower price point than the vintage Klon Centaur, the Warm Audio Centavo makes this legendary sound accessible to a wider range of guitarists.
