Warm Audio Centavo is an overdrive pedal that recreates a widely copied 1990s transparent drive circuit. The design covers clean boost, light breakup and fuller saturation from three controls.

Gain sets the amount of clipping, while Output sets the overall level. Treble is an active control centred around 400 Hz, adding brightness clockwise and cutting it anticlockwise.
A MOD switch on the rear panel changes a filter value in the circuit. In its alternative position, low-end response is extended, mainly on the two lowest strings.
Inside are TL072 op amps, vintage-style diodes and a charge-pump stage for extra headroom. Bypass is buffered. The custom-cast gold enclosure measures 171 × 127 × 57 mm, larger than a standard compact pedal. A smaller version is sold as the Centavo Mod.
