Description
The Warm Audio Centavo is an accurate recreation of one of the most unattainable overdrive pedals in guitar history. Known by 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 prices for a three-knob overdrive, it’s no wonder that guitar players like Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, John Mayer, and Josh Homme have found all the mythical magic of the original pedals to be worth the hype. The Warm Audio Centavo is a true-to-original overdrive pedal that authentically recreates the legendary experience and adored tones of the original, legendary box.
NOW AVAILABLE in a Limited Edition Vintage Silver finish, only while supplies last! The Limited Edition Silver Centavo is available at select retailers worldwide.
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 of the adored tones of the original pedal. The Centavo is comfortable acting as a boost pedal, but the saturation in the higher gain settings provide 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.
Pedal Settings & Controls
The Centavo has three basic controls on the top - Gain, Treble, & Output. The gain on 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 useful 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. 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.

Overdrive Pedale sind natürlich immer eine persönliche Geschmacksfrage!
Der Ceantavo von Warm Audio war für mich sofort 1. Wahl und der absolute Favorit – Geschmackssache klar! Aber der klang am vollsten und, der Name ist Programm, auch am wärmsten!
Man kann ihn als reinen Booster verwenden oder aber als Overdrive. Er verbiegt nicht den Frequenzgang deines Amps, sondern lässt ihn so klingen, wie er klingt. Er fügt einfach nur schöne warmklingende, harmonische Oberwellen dazu, die in der Intensität mittels Gain-Regler sehr sanft und dezent dazu gemischt werden können! Selbst vor meinem Diezel verbessert er den Sound, indem ich den Gain-Regler des Amps runter drehe und stattdessen ein paar Oberwellen des Centavo dazu mische! Damit ist man einfach näher am Griffbrett oder mit der Gitarre einfach näher am Amp! Der Sound wird gefühlt „schneller“…
Die Verarbeitung, auch innen, ist absolut super!
Eines, was ich aber bei fast jedem Pedal vermisse, ist, dass die Leuchtdiode in einer eingeschraubten Metallfassung stecken sollte, damit, wenn man mal drauf treten sollte nicht gleich die LED eingedrückt wird …aber das ist Jammern auf höchstem Niveau ;-)
