The Warm Audio Centavo Professional Overdrive Pedal faithfully recreates the sound, feel, and functionality of one of the most sought-after overdrive pedals in guitar history. Designed for players chasing legendary boost, edge-of-breakup, and transparent overdrive tones, Centavo delivers a versatile range of sounds from subtle tone enhancement to saturated gain.
Its Gain, Treble, and Output controls provide straightforward control over the pedal's core sound, while the rear-panel MOD switch expands the low-end response for additional bass and drive on the lower strings. This makes Centavo equally effective as a clean boost, tone-shaping tool, or overdrive for pushing an amplifier into natural-sounding breakup.
Authentic Vintage-Inspired Construction
Warm Audio built Centavo with carefully selected components to recreate the character and response of the original circuit. The pedal uses TL072 op-amps, vintage-style diodes, carbon and metal film resistors, and a charge-pump voltage regulator. Critical diodes, capacitors, and resistors are hand-selected for consistent performance.
The custom-cast enclosure is accurately sized and machined, with custom-tapered oxblood knobs and a dual-concentric Gain control designed to reproduce the look and feel of the original-style pedal.

Designed for Legendary Guitar Tones
The Centavo can function as a clean boost, tone enhancer, edge-of-breakup overdrive, or saturated rhythm drive. Lower gain settings help push an amplifier toward natural breakup, while higher gain settings provide transparent overdriven tones with increased saturation.
The rear MOD switch adds extended bass response, making it possible to achieve a fuller low-end character and additional drive on the lower strings. Whether used to enhance an existing amp tone or create a complete overdrive sound, the Warm Audio Centavo provides a highly versatile platform for modern players seeking classic-inspired guitar tones.
