Warm AudioCentavo Mod Overdrive Pedal

Golden overdrive tones only matter if the pedal can earn its place on your board. The Warm Audio Centavo Mod overdrive pedal brings the full-size Centavo circuit into a smaller custom-cast enclosure without changing its internal components or signal path. Top-mounted jacks conserve pedalboard space, while a rear MOD switch extends the low-end response for a throatier voice. Gain, treble and output controls retain the familiar three-knob layout, supporting everything from clean boost and edge-of-breakup sounds to thicker overdrive and harder clipping. With TL072 op amps, vintage-style diodes, carbon and metal film resistors, buffered bypass and a charge-pump voltage regulator, the Centavo Mod preserves the established character and response of the full-size pedal in a more compact format. Original Centavo Circuit in a Smaller Enclosure The Centavo Mod retains the same circuit and components as Warm Audio’s full-size Centavo, preserving its established response and character. Its custom-cast golden enclosure reduces the overall footprint, and top-mounted input and output jacks leave more room for neighboring pedals. Accurately tapered oxblood knobs maintain the familiar control feel and visual character of the larger model. This smaller layout gives players the full-size Centavo circuit in a format that integrates more easily with crowded modern pedalboards. Familiar Controls With Extended Low-End Response The three-knob layout provides direct control over gain, treble and output level. Lower gain settings support clean boosting and edge-of-breakup tones, while higher settings introduce thicker overdrive and a harder-clipping response. The rear MOD switch extends the pedal’s low-frequency response, adding greater weight and presence to the lower strings without adding another control to the face of the enclosure. Players can move between the standard Centavo response and a throatier low-end voice while retaining the pedal’s familiar core character. Circuit Components and Reliable Buffered Bypass Operation TL072 op amps, vintage-style diodes, carbon and metal film resistors and a charge-pump voltage regulator form the foundation of the Centavo Mod circuit. Buffered bypass helps maintain signal integrity through longer pedal chains, while 1/4" input and output connections support straightforward integration with common guitar rigs. The pedal can operate from a 9V battery or standard 9V DC adapter and draws 40mA. For players seeking the Centavo voice in a smaller pedalboard-ready format, the Warm Audio Centavo Mod overdrive pedal preserves the full-size model’s circuit while reducing its footprint.
