Warm Audio Centavo Small Format Overdrive Pedal (Klon Centaur Clone)

The golden enclosure, top-mounted jacks, and compact 4.5" footprint make the Warm Audio Centavo Small Format Overdrive Pedal a pedalboard–friendly recreation of the legendary Klon Centaur circuit from the 1990s. Despite the smaller format, the internal circuitry remains completely faithful to the vintage design, using identical components to the full-sized Centavo: TL072 op amps, premium diodes, carbon and metal film resistors, and a charge-pump voltage regulator. The three front-panel controls – gain, treble, and output – deliver the full range of tones that made the original so sought-after, from pristine clean boost through transparent edge-of-breakup overdrive to hard clipping.

The rear-panel MOD switch extends low-end response when engaged, adding throaty resonance to the lower strings and bottom-end depth that works equally well pushing a clean amp into saturation or stacking gain with an already driven channel. Buffered bypass operation maintains signal integrity across the pedalboard. The pedal runs on either a 9V battery or standard 9V DC adapter, drawing just 40mA. At 2.5" long, 4.5" wide, 2.2" tall, and weighing 0.7 pounds, the Centavo fits where the original never could, with accurately tapered oxblood knobs and quarter-inch input and output jacks that keep cables organised above the enclosure.
