About Warm Audio Centavo

Enhance your guitar performance with the Centavo Professional Overdrive Pedal in a stunning gold finish. This high-quality, durable pedal is a meticulous reproduction of the most coveted overdrive pedal in the annals of guitar history, brought to you by the reputable Warm Audio brand.

Renowned for its shiny, professional look and stylish design, the Centavo Overdrive Pedal is celebrated for its exceptional boost and overdriven tones. Its popularity remains undiminished since its original production run from 1994 to 2009, with guitar legends like Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, John Mayer, and Josh Homme endorsing its mythical magic and superior sound quality.

The Centavo Overdrive Pedal is not just a boost pedal; it's a legacy at your feet. Whether you're seeking the legendary boost tones, edge-of-breakup overdrive, or aiming to push your rhythm channel to true grit, this pedal delivers. Its high gain settings offer a platform for truly transparent overdriven rhythm tones.

The unique design includes three knobs for controlling the drive, tone, and level, providing a wide range of sound customization options. The gain on the Centavo breaks up fairly late, with edge-of-breakup hitting after 50% and real clipping occurring late in the gain stage. The treble control is ideal for dialing in more top-end for muddier guitars, like dual-humbucker models or all-mahogany instruments.

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. 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.

In short, the Centavo Professional Overdrive Pedal is an authentic recreation of the original, legendary pedal, offering the same adored tones and legendary experience. It's a must-have for any serious guitarist seeking to elevate their sound.
