The vintage-style gear specialists dive into the legacy of two classic drive pedals.The Warm Audio Centavo is an accurate recreation of the most sought-after overdrive pedal of the 90’s and beyond. Whether you’re after the fabled clean boost tones, transparent overdrive, or you want to push your dirty channels to true grit, the Centavo has all of the adored tones of the vintage box. In addition, the Warm Audio Centavo has the infamous “MOD” selectable on the back. When in the “up” position, low-end response on the bottom strings is extended. With a true-to-original, custom-cast golden enclosure & all the signature sounds of the original, Centavo delivers an authentically legendary pedal experience. The Warmdrive is a true reproduction of a highly revered pedal known for delivering the tones of an unattainable overdriven amp. The original pedal is known to go from silky-smooth tones reminiscent of a special overdriven amp at the sweet spot, all the way to sustain-rich distortion. The Warmdrive combines carefully-selected components & true-to-original circuit design to achieve the same tone and sonic profile of the legendary pedal. The “secret sauce” of the Warmdrive, just like the original, is the unique voice/tone control combination on the stomp box. Giving artists extra versatility, this control allows the player to modify the frequency both before (Voice control) and after (Tone control) the clipping stages.(Info courtesy of Warm Audio’s website.)
