Warm Audio Centavo Overdrive

The Warm Audio Centavo Overdrive is a tribute to a legendary classic among overdrive pedals, known for its unique sound and coveted boost function. This pedal, which has captured the hearts of guitarists like Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, John Mayer, and Josh Homme, offers an accurate reproduction of the original from the years 1994 to 2009. The popularity of the original pedal remains unbroken to this day, reflected in the astronomical prices for a specimen. The Centavo keeps the myth of the original alive by faithfully reproducing the legendary and beloved tones.

The Centavo not only provides the famous boost sounds but also an overdrive function that plays on the edge of distortion. Whether you want to sharpen your rhythm channel or achieve true transparent overdrive rhythm tones, the Centavo covers it all with the authenticity of the original. As a boost pedal, it excels, but it truly unleashes its full potential at higher gain settings, offering a platform for truly transparent overdrive tones. The "MOD" function on the back, once requested by Jeff Beck for the original, allows for extended bass response, particularly affecting the lower strings and leading to more intense low-end drive tones.

The Centavo features three simple controls: Gain, Treble, and Output. The Gain range of the Centavo only starts to break up the tone late, with the actual distortion kicking in towards the end of the gain stage. The Treble control is excellent for adding more highs to dull-sounding guitars, such as those with double humbuckers or mahogany instruments. With its high output power, the Centavo can deliver both a clean boost and natural distortion, especially when your amplifier's tubes are already pushed to their limits. The MOD switch on the back is a useful tool if the lower register of the overdrive initially sounds too thin.

The Warm Audio Centavo Overdrive not only offers a faithful reproduction of one of the most coveted overdrive pedals of all time but also provides a wealth of possibilities to give your guitar playing a whole new dimension.
