Warm Audio WA-CVS Centavo Limited-Edition Silver Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

The Warm Audio Centavo is hands down one of the most impressive Klon clones I've ever plugged into. Warm Audio set out to capture the magic of the original Centaur, and they absolutely nailed the tone, feel, and responsiveness that made the original mythical in the first place—without the mythical price tag. Right out of the box, the Centavo feels premium. The enclosure is solid, the controls are smooth, and the gold finish gives it that unmistakable "holy grail" vibe. But the real magic starts when you kick it on. The tone is rich, articulate, and incredibly musical. The Centavo adds just the right amount of warmth and harmonic complexity without ever sounding muddy or overbearing. As a clean boost, it's phenomenal—your amp suddenly feels more alive, more 3-dimensional. Push the gain and you get that classic transparent overdrive: clear, dynamic, and beautifully touch-sensitive. One of the pedal's standout features is how well it stacks with other drives. Whether you use it as an always-on sweetener, a boost for solos, or the foundation of your drive tone, the Centavo plays nicely with everything. It keeps the character of your guitar and amp intact while enhancing all the good stuff. Another win: the "MOD" switch. Warm Audio included the option to engage a modification found on certain highly sought-after originals, giving even more flexibility and tonal texture. In short, the Warm Audio Centavo delivers everything you want from a Klon-style pedal—clarity, punch, presence, and that unmistakable mid-forward magic—at a price that doesn't require selling a kidney. If you've ever wanted the Centaur sound without the collector's cost, the Centavo is the no-brainer choice. It earns a permanent spot on the board.

Bought mine directly from the manufacturer and paid more than what it's selling here…The pedal is big, they pay homage to the original Klon model but they also modified the tone structure and added a dip switch between the two inputs that actually bumps up the bass and treble and smooths out the mid hump. Overall the pedal works great and boosting any amp, if your amp has a little gain this pedal add sustain and if the amp doesn't this pedal will add a little extra gain… I've owned several Klon clones however this one took it to a different level and offers a little extra benefit from what an original Klon does…
