Warm Audio Centavo 

Warm Audio Centavo: Professional Overdrive Pedal

The Warm Audio Centavo is an accurate recreation of one of the most sought-after overdrive pedals in guitar history. Known for its lauded boost and overdriven tones, the craze for this uber-popular pedal continues today, long after its original production from 1994 to 2009. With prices soaring into unthinkable ranges for the original three-knob overdrive, it’s no wonder that guitar players like Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, John Mayer, and Josh Homme have found the mythical magic of the original pedals to be worth the hype. The Warm Audio Centavo authentically recreates the legendary experience and adored tones of the original, legendary box.

Unapologetically Vintage

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. The addition of 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.

Legacy At Your Feet

Whether you’re after the fabled boost tones, edge-of-breakup overdrive, or you want to push your rhythm channel to true grit, the Centavo has all the adored tones of the original pedal. The Centavo is loaded with output and can easily deliver clean boost, or create natural distortion if the tubes on your amplifier are already being pushed. Engaging the MOD switch on the back is a great tool to have at your disposal if the overdrive initially sounds thin in the lower register.

Pedal Settings & Controls

The Centavo features three basic controls on the top - Gain, Treble, & Output:

• Gain: Breaks up fairly late, with edge-of-breakup hitting after 50% and real clipping occurring late in the gain stage.
• Treble: Useful for dialing in more top-end for muddier guitars, like dual-humbucker models or all-mahogany instruments.
• Output: Can easily deliver clean boost or create natural distortion if the tubes on your amplifier are already being pushed.
• MOD Switch: Located on the rear for extended low-end response.
