The Warm Audio Centavo is a meticulously accurate recreation of the iconic Klon Centaur pedal, one of the most sought-after overdrive pedals in the world. Optimised for both clean and dirty amps, the Centavo delivers all of the legendary tones of the original, for an authentically legendary pedal experience.

True to the original, the Centavo uses premium components including TL072 op amps to achieve the famous mythical tones as favoured by Jeff Beck, James Hetfield, John Mayer, Paul McCartney and countless others. On top of this, the Centavo also boasts a MOD switch on the back panel, extending low end response to get that desirable “throaty” sound on the lower strings.

Key Features

  • Great for Clean & Dirty Amps – Perfect for boosting solos, blending clean and gain, or pushing an already dirty amp further into overdrive,
  • Two Modes With Authentic Controls – The Centavo has three simple controls for gain, treble, and output, just like the original.
  • Faithful Recreation of the Original Circuit – Centavo uses carefully selected components including TL072 op amps and premium diodes to achieve true-to-original overdrive tones.
  • Unapologetically Authentic – True to the original mythical beast, the Centavo circuit is housed in a custom-cast golden enclosure with carefully tapered oxblood tone knobs. 
  • Made in USA – Like all Warm Audio gear, the Centavo is meticulously tested and inspected by real guitar players and trained technicians in Austin, TX USA.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar Pedal pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
