WARM AUDIOCENTAVO SILVER WARM AUDIO
Vintage Style Limited Edition Overdrive FX Pedal
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.
An authentic re-creation, from mane to hoof
From their microphones to their studio tools, Warm Audio is exacting in their quest to replicate iconic vintage gear. The Centavo is no exception, boasting ultra-premium parts including TL072 op amps, high-end diodes, carbon and metal film resistors, and a charge-pump voltage regulator. We’ll leave the technical analysis to Sweetwater’s electronics engineers, however, to put in in plain English, the Centavo is about as close as you’re going to get to an original without paying well over four figures!
“Mod” switch for beefed-up bass
For many guitarists, the pedal of Centavo’s inspiration is a Holy Grail, and it's considered sacrilege to modify it in any capacity. However, we’re thankful that the world’s pedal gurus are willing to desecrate the proverbial (and black epoxy) seal on the heavenly horse, twisting and tuning components to provide us with the most tonal utility possible! Warm Audio have included one of the common mods found on the original pedal: a bass-boosting “Mod” switch located on the back of the pedal. This setting is particularly useful for beefing up the tone of a low-output single-coil guitar, providing some heft to your bottom strings.
