Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.36% — somewhat different

The Keeley Klon Centaur-Style Overdrive is Keeley's take on the celebrated Klon Centaur transparent overdrive circuit, aiming for the same warm, touch-sensitive, harmonically rich push into an amp that made the original Centaur legendary and famously hard to obtain. It delivers the classic Klon-family clean-boost-to-mild-overdrive range, preserving pick dynamics and note clarity rather than imposing a heavy drive coloration.
The Warm Audio Centavo is an accurate recreation of the legendary Klon Centaur, one of the most sought-after and expensive overdrive pedals ever made, reproducing the original circuit down to its TL072 op-amps, internal charge pump, and vintage-style diodes. It works best as the Klon is famous for, as a near-clean to lightly dirty boost that adds harmonic thickness ahead of an already-driven amp rather than as a standalone distortion. An added mod switch subtly changes the distortion character and tightens low frequencies so palm mutes stay clean and defined. Priced far below the six-figure vintage market for original Klon Centaurs, it delivers the sought-after transparent boost and treble-forward push at an accessible price. Suited to players chasing the classic Klon-style boost into a driven tube amp.
