Warm Audio Centavo Professional Overdrive Pedal

Guitar legends like Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, John Mayer, and Josh Homme have long sworn by one of the most coveted overdrive pedals in history, and now the Warm Audio Centavo brings that legendary tone within reach of every player. This faithful recreation captures the magic of the original pedal that commanded astronomical prices during its 1994-2009 production run, offering the same mythical boost and overdriven tones that made the original so sought-after.

The Centavo excels across the entire gain spectrum, from pristine boost tones to edge-of-breakup overdrive and full rhythm channel saturation. Its three-knob design features Gain, Treble, and Output controls, with the gain breaking up gradually after 50% and true clipping occurring late in the stage. The treble control proves particularly useful for brightening dual-humbucker guitars or all-mahogany instruments, while the substantial output capability allows for clean boost or natural tube amp distortion.

Built with premium components including TL072 op amps, vintage-style diodes, and a charge-pump voltage regulator, the Centavo maintains the authentic character of the original. The rear-mounted MOD switch – famously requested by Jeff Beck himself – extends bass response for enhanced low-end drive, perfect for players who find the standard voicing too thin in the lower register. Housed in a custom-cast champagne enclosure with accurately tapered oxblood knobs, this pedal combines historical accuracy with modern reliability.
