    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.

    Centavo has a permanent place on my pedal board. I stack it with a Full-tone OCD and the tones are absolutely pure bliss. 50 LP standard through a Tonemaster super reverb. Honestly the best tones that I have ever heard. I also stack it with a Friedman BE OD for heavier tones. I leave my centavo on all the time by the way. Thanks for the great video and review as always. I've been a huge fan ever since the beginning of PG magazine and always enjoyed reading your articles too. Great playing too! Thanks again.

    There’s a video where Robben Ford describes his ZenDrive and he said the Voice control is “Fender” to the left and “Marshall” to the right… or “American” vs “British.” I have an ‘05 ZenDrive and that makes since to my ears. I prefer a saggier Marshall sound and like my ZenDrive Voice set at about 1’clock.

I went and had a deep tissue massage on my forearm. The therapist used metal instruments to knead out knots in my arm. It was an instant fix. BTW I enjoy your reviews including this one. Take care.
