QTY:

Lasso some serious tone courtesy of the Behringer Centaur, a faithful rendering of the legendary ’90s-era overdrive with transparent, amp-like tone and response. This guitar pedal bears all the major hallmarks of its predecessor, from its germanium clipping diodes to its vintage-inspired housing. The Centaur replicates the original stompbox’s dual-concentric Gain knob, enabling you to craft boost, overdrive, and all-out grind without sacrificing your core tone. You also get Treble and Output knobs, which allow you to dial in your high frequencies and adjust how hard you hit the input of your amplifier. You’ll revel in the expansive dynamic range afforded by the Centaur’s stepped-up internal voltage, and its high-quality buffered bypass maintains every ounce of your tone over long cable runs. We’ve played through the gamut of Klone-style pedals here at Music Experience, and Behringer’s Centaur holds its own against the lot of them. Let's face it, these sought-after original dirt boxes command a hefty price tag on the vintage market. The Centaur is exactly what you need to satisfy your tonal craving — and you'll have plenty of cash left to grab some more gear!

    What Behringer Says...

    It’s a pedal as legendary as the many mythological creatures it’s named after. But whatever shape it takes, or whichever four-legged animal it goes by, it’s popularity and mythical status among guitarists is unquestionable. Introducing the Behringer CENTAUR OVERDRIVE!

      The CENTAUR Mythos

      The heart of CENTAUR OVERDRIVE’s transparent circuit is a dual potentiometer gain control – an improved version of the original concentric gain control which makes it more reliable and precise. Simply put, you get to easily dial in your tone to get a completely clean signal or have more overdrive mixed in as you turn the knob all the way up!

      Squeaky Clean or Awesomely Dirty

      Another great characteristic of CENTAUR OVERDRIVE is its natural ability to respond well to picking dynamics. The pedal’s high headroom and high-quality diodes make this possible. With CENTAUR OVERDRIVE in the chain, you can dance lightly on the strings for a cleaner tone or really dig in to make your guitar, and amp, roar.
