While we had the Warm Audio Centavo pedal in for review, we thought it was a good opportunity to compare it side by side with our own Wampler Tumnus and call in a Ceriatone Centura from our friends at Andertons. Three of the key klone overdrive pedals on the market.
We dialled in three popular go-to settings on the original Klon Centaur but even though one of them is often called a 'blues-rock' setting, we wanted to avoid that style of playing as there's so many demos out there with it.
Direct comparison is tricky in that pot values differ, sometimes between two of the same model pedal, but we wanted to give a flavour of where these three sit for different applications.

Rob is the Reviews Editor for GuitarWorld.com and MusicRadar guitars, so spends most of his waking hours (and beyond) thinking about and trying the latest gear while making sure our reviews team is giving you thorough and honest tests of it. He's worked for guitar mags and sites as a writer and editor for nearly 20 years but still winces at the thought of restringing anything with a Floyd Rose.
