Sound Pure's Take
The Warm Audio Centavo faithfully recreates one of the most celebrated overdrive circuits ever designed, capturing the transparent, touch-sensitive response that has made the original a legend among guitarists. Equally at home as a clean boost, edge-of-breakup overdrive, or rich lead enhancer, it preserves your guitar and amplifier's natural character while adding warmth, sustain, and harmonic complexity. The rear-panel MOD switch expands the low-end response for a fuller, more powerful voice, adding even greater versatility to an already iconic design. Built with premium components and vintage-inspired appointments, the Centavo delivers timeless overdrive tones with exceptional feel and musicality.
From Warm Audio
Unapologetically Vintage
The 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. 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. Centavo is a true-to-original overdrive pedal that authentically recreates the experience and adored tones of the original, legendary box.
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, Centavo’s controls take you from tone sweetener all the way to saturated gain. 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.
