    Warm Audio is well known for recreating legendary studio microphones at a reasonable price. No wonder I was really hyped to see that they came out with two guitar pedals, one of which is the Centavo. But is it "the real deal"? Does it bring us close enough to the crazy dynamics and sweet tone of the original Klon Centaurs? Let's find it out. Leave a comment below!

    Great video, just got the Centavo and a smile has been permanently implanted on my face. I have Tumnus Deluxe, OCD and Smallbox. I liked the Tumnus and it was first in the chain acting as a Klon, but honestly in my setup into a REVV D20 and 1x12w Celestion Vintage all of the settings on the Centavo sound great. Tumnus sounds great, but with all the tweaks, I get better overall sound out of the Centavo. Did not expect that, kind of got it to have another Tumnus type to stack into each other. Centavo is now always on and first in the chain. Thank you for what you do, have been a Thomann subscriber for years and glad I found your personal channel. And I love this pedal. Smallbox is pretty sweet also for a plexi sound. OCD goes without saying, it has to be the 3rd most popular of all time behind Klon and Tubescreamer. I am not a TS fan.

    @YellowBrickFloyd Před rokem +3

    Excellent video all the way start to finish...this checked all the boxes for me, very complete.
    Based on this video and other research, I purchased this Centavo on Reverb, and I'm waiting for it to arrive.
    My Klon Quest started about a year ago; I wanted: versatility ( no 1 trick pony), usable across full gain tone/ range, build quality, stackable with other pedals and clean amp settings, value ( no 7k pedals). A big selling point was the Jeff Beck (RIP, Rock In Peace) mod. I also like the simplicity and vintage look, layout ( not a lot of switches and options).
    PS. I also like that your vids do not include a bunch of silly, goofy, content, like many others. Your's are 100% usable content without a clown show, or extra bantering...Thank you!

    Nice video, great playing! One note, which has probably been said already, but that isn't handwired. When you see components on a printed circuit board like that, you know it's not handwired. There are traces (dark lines) on the layers of the PCB that connect the components, not the point-to-point connections that you'd see on a handwired circuit. Compare to gut shots of a handwired amp and you'll see the difference.

    Interesting background infos, Kris. My Demon FX Klon clone, much like your DIY, has not a lot of volume, and just sounds a tad thinner than the Wampler Tumnus. How do you see the Tumnus in comparison to the Centavo? It is less midrangy than the Archer to my ears, potentially as close as the Unobtanium clone side is?

    I'm a tad puzzled again regarding your test video:
    - Why did you use a Tele in the first half? A Tele always sounds best =!= no Pedal will make it better
    - I do get it ... a Paula just needs to have a golden pedal to make it sound - arrgurgle - acceptable BUT you should have used a Gold Top LP
    - the most fun i had with a Tele was pairing it with a Wampler Euphoria at low gain setting ... OkOk it's green but not TubeScreamer green ...

    Hi Chris, if these are not germanium diodes, what are they, silicon or something else?
    The tone of this pedal is fantastic, and very responsive with all settings, it kills.
    Do you think the tone would be better with germanium diodes? how different it is from the original design.
    I think you are competent to judge it, because you have had the opportunity to try many klon pedals.

      @@KrisBarocsi great question and thanks for asking! I watched a million reviews of various Klon clones. The only complaint I heard about the Ceriatone was that it could be a bit noisy, but I've also heard that about the Klon. My experience with Nik at Ceriatone was top notch. Excellent communication and got one to me faster than he said. Packaging is amazing. Look of the pedal is totally killer!!! I love the purple! My very first impression of this pedal is that it was almost dead silent. Now to be fair, I don't play loud at all, but I'm also sitting like 2 feet from my amp. He offered "clean boost" settings of Gain all the way down, Tone and Output at 11:00. I LOVE that. It is almost totally invisible, with only the slightest increase in...what? Clarity, articulation...maybe a hint of sparkle or depth to the sound vs with it off. My favorite sound is with the Gain at about 10:30, Tone at 12:30, and Output at about noon, with a Les Paul, with the amp on the cleaner side of approaching breakup. That is pretty glorious. I can still clean up ok with the guitar volume. It's always hard to try and put sounds into words. I need more time with this pedal, and I also need to try it at higher amp volumes. I've used it with my Tele, Strat, Schecter Nick Johnston, Epiphone Lazarus Les Paul, and my '94 PRS Custom 24. I can't really make it sound, and there are fantastic sounds to be had from all. I'm going to rewatch your video and see what phrases you used to describe the Warm...then see if I can offer a more direct comparison. One big problem is that YOU are playing yours, and I am playing mine! I think we are both happy about it though!!

      @@KrisBarocsi Yesterday... test: Then tried again, always the Centavo with switch to zero. Turning up the volume of the amp you have to go beyond half to hear the hiss again, but this time very weak. I tried to replace the battery that was already built in (probably the one hundred and eighth was available at the fair to have it tested). I put another battery in and no hissing is heard. I put the Battery that the Centavo had in one of my pedals (Fulltone OCD) and it doesn't make any hiss...boh
      Today: tried again in the exact same situation as on Sunday when the Centavo was hissing. Same cables, same battery. No hiss today. Everything ok... and the hiss, what happened to it? mystery

    Does anyone really need another overdrive pedal? At this point, if you're still watching pedal demos your soul is lost and you need to own a Klon. Speaking of which, I just found it on a boxing day sale. Price was right. Kris this video pushed me over the edge bud. I picked one up.

  • @hugomartinho2555
    @hugomartinho2555 Před rokem +1

    The warm audio pedals get a lot of critics because they are very obvious copies of other pedals.
    It's pretty ironic considering most pedals being made in the last 30 years are "boutique copies" of pedals that were created between the 60s and the 80s... so who is really making anything "original"?!
    Thanks for the comparison, I was already considering the Unobtanium, but this just made me pull the trigger for a good Klon and Dumble combo to mix with my Toxic Twins.
    Cheers!

    • @KrisBarocsi
      @KrisBarocsi  Před rokem +2

      Hmm, hard to explain. Most of the Klon style pedals have a „crackly“ and somewhat unpleasant treble AND loose bass (that’s part of the original circuit too) when you crank the gain above 1 o‘clock. I don’t like that at all. This one has a sweet tone, awesome treble and if you engage the mod switch it has the warmth I‘m missing sometimes. Does that make sense? I hope. 😅
