Based on the undisputed king and catalyst for the transparent overdrive craze, the Behringer Centaur Overdrive delivers everything that made the original gold box OD the most highly desired pedal on Earth. Meticulously re-created from the inside out using selected Germanium diodes and uniquely designed circuitry, the only missing detail is the eye-watering price. Just like the original, the Behringer Centaur provides the same transparent, clean boost and subtle point of breakup through smooth-sustaining overdrive and amp-like sensitivity that guitars love about tube amps. On the outside, the gold enclosure with brown indicator knobs works with your guitar's volume control for expressive control over gain, treble, and output. The slightly smaller size has the familiar look in a slightly smaller size for extra room on your board. On the inside, the gain control features the same dual-potentiometer design and stepped-up voltage for the wide range of boosts and drives that made the original so in demand. Even the Centaur’s dynamic tone-saving buffer is present to preserve your signal on long cable runs and boards with multiple pedals. Perhaps best of all, now you can hear, feel, and project the sounds of the mythical 4-figure overdrive in one of the most affordable pedals available today. An extraordinarily faithful and affordable version of the most coveted and expensive OD’s ever made.
