Ceriatone is a company made by a Malaysian. Ceria means happy, tone is well tone. So put em both it’s a happy tone.

My late father left me 2. The gold one and a silver one, both in their boxes both original and in fantastic condition. I later bought the KTR also made by Bill Finnegan.

You played this so well I ordered and received this pedal. Most of the time its the only one on. Thank You and Ceriatone.

Best things about this video.... A tie for first place between the playing and the clean sound. The Centura an honourable third.

This was an interesting one. I really like the rhythm tones you go with the Centaura. Not so much the leads. BUT - when stacked with the octave fuzz...butter, man. That tone just melted everything in the room. Jimi would have been smiling down upon you.

The Centura and the Mythos Mjolnir are my two personal favorite Klones. What I like about the Mjolnir is the fact that it is more open/less compressed than other Klones out there, even when compared to an actual Centaur or KTR.

I bought the closest thing too. Perfect down to the germanium diodes. This demo sounds great with a Strat. I've really noticed a huge difference in the guitars with humbuckers. WOW Currently using it into a Princeton Reissue. I think I'm finally set for life.

Thank you for playing with an actual clean tone!

Really dig the tone on this one! Great playing and review. Contemplating a Klon clone for my board now. Your friend who you talked too about having a clean tone to show case the pedal and what it truly sounds like seems like he would be a smart guy FYI.

Transparent overdrives are a thing, on a circuit design level. They're just boosting the signal in the way that an amp would react to it... This isn't that though. The reason why the Klon is so nice is because the gain knob is a dual stack potentiometer where your clean signal is always passing through and you blend in gain to that signal.

Hands down, this is the best review of the Ceriatone Centaur (I pronounce it “Sierra-tone”). I also use it stacked with the Morning Glory and Steel String. It also sounds great with these: J Rockett Archer Clean, Mesa Boogie Tone Burst, Friedman Golden Pearl, JHS SuperBolt, JHS Charlie Brown, & TC Mojo Mojo!

This pedal is awesome, and it sounds better in real life as opposed to YT, but your playing Buddy is otherworldly. Just received the Horse Breaker, and that pedal is huge, with the Bluesbreaker on one side, and the KLon on the other, sounds way better than just about all other dual overdrives to my ear. Love your playing, tone and feel Buddy, your videos really are a highlight on my day

I have the gold one .....it is fantastic.

Keep making videos man! Your content and playing is so good!

I have 3, Built 2 Bought one. Its is the same as a Klon 100%!!!! Hype will blind many to pay 6k for the same thing. makes them feel important

Great sounding pedal! Great playing and demo! I’m definitely going to buy this pedal. Thx brotha 😎🤟🎸

Living Room Gear Demos did a direct comparison between the Klon Centaur and the Rimrock Effects Mythical Overdrive. I sold my Ceriatone based on that review. The Ceriatone gets amazingly close, but the Mythical is an EXACT sonic replica of the original Klon. I really believe that only a computer could analyze the frequencies created by the pair and identify minuscule sonic differences. There isn’t a human being alive that can truly do this (in my opinion!) Subjectivity and opinion create debate, which is great for promoting excellent review channels like this, and sales of course, but at the end of the day, if it makes you happy….it can’t be crappy!

First Ceriatone product and love it. Would it could never sell it. Any setting you put is fantastic. With or without the gain knob engaged that is.

Enjoyed the Daylights out of your video. Your amp and your tone with that fender what a glorious all on its own. But you sold me on that pedal man it's worth having even if it's not always on the board. It's just one of those must haves

I believe it's pronounced "cheeriatone" like cheerios and tone.

Cool review. 👍🏻 I can hear the TGP riffs.😎

So I literally just bought this pedal because I’ve been wanting a legit Klon(e) on my board and found a really good price. Haven’t listened to Gary Clark Jr. in a good minute but man, you absolutely nailed that “Bright Lights” sound my dude! I’ve also seen him live many times so I definitely know that sound well 😂😅. Makes me even more excited to get back home a plug it in!

I just bought a Gladio Preamp/Od can’t wait to try it with this pedal.

Whadayamean not a single girl watches this channel...??? Geez, that Octaland with the Klone is stunning!

Hey buddy you got a great ear and you're a great player to as well. Video is very well done and definitely help make my decision. I don't really think there's anything better than the real clown with man there's not a whole lot of difference anymore

The Most Amazing Overdrive Pedal in the World. Makes the Klon Centour looks like a Ford...and the Centura a BMW

Awesome playing man!

I have a KTR, Mythos Mjolnir, and both Archers. I like the Mjolnir best, it seems to have a fuller presence than the KTR.

"Most transparent of all overdrives" is hard to say.. But the closest I have tried is the JHS Morning Glory. I haven't tried the original bluesbreaker circuit. But the Morning Glory is remarkably flat. Not actually flat. But relatively flat. Funny thing about the Klon is that it's not very transparent at all. Like it's more transparent than a tube screamer, but only by a little and only when the gain isn't turned up too high.

Great playing.The Klon sounds great, nice fat tones.

I like putting my favorite klone clon archer pedal in the front of pedal board. Its got a good sounding buffer and it pushes other od pedals.

Just made two centura kits. The quality is incredible.

That sounded really good.

great playing mate

Hey Buddy. Just ordered one of these. I partially blame you. Not a bad thing. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

I purchased one of these 12/2019 on Reverb Very nice. Mine is gold and has a centaur with a guitar over its shoulder. I haven’t seen one of them lately. Considered selling one reverb, yesterday 2/20/2021 but after listen to you play it. I think I’m going to hold on to it for a while.

Still seems to be missing the Harmonics of the Original Klon Centar. Not quite sure. Maybe boosting the treble or the out put. This is a close tone and the JHS morning glory puts it closer. Nice work. Best video I have heard with an actual Klon centar was from Music is win. KZfaq chanel. Sounds insane, the sound and tone will met your brain. He found the best way to play the pedal was to have the amp set to just slightly edge of breakup. All though he was playing through a $5000 amp a $3000 guitar and an original Klon he paid almost another $5K for. Pretty nasty habbit we all have. 😆

Forget the pedal that Amp sounds Great !!!!

I wish I had your guitar playing skills dude

nice tone

All of the Line 6 Helix units have the ‘Minotaur’ pedal and it Klon’s beautifully.. if you have one.

Good video! Found your review quite funny, subscribed 😄

Yum + heat = yeet

I can't believe there's not a single person on here saying its just not as good. YEET

Owned this and really liked it but the enclosure is just too dam big and took up too big a section on my board

0:43 *yes it is*

Hey Buddy, thanks for this video and great playing. I just got a Rimrock Mythical Overdrive, another great Klone, and I also use a Vertex Steel String. They both do amazing tones and are both pretty versatile. I was wondering if you could let us know how you use your Klone with the steel string, since they’re both kinda midsy and they both seem to want to be the last pedal on the board. Thanks!

WOW!

I have one of these.

Love your playing, Buddy! Thanks for always making such great content. This video was what inspired me to purchase my first Klon clone and buy a Centura, and so far, I've been blown away by how good the clean tone sounds. I have a quick question I was hoping you could answer. I'm running my Eric Johnson Strat into the Centura into a Twin Reverb. I noticed that when I dial up the gain, I'm just not getting the same "bite" or "hair" that you get. I'm wanting to use the Centura for more than just a clean boost and actually get some of those great overdriven tones like you do starting around the 6:30 mark. Any advice or suggestions for how to get the most out of this pedal? Thank you!

I have the Klon KTR and the exact Centura that you are using in this review - I see no difference. I have never tried a real Klon Centaur, so I don't know how an original sounds. But, according to Bill Finnegan (the guy designed all the Klon pedals), the KTR and the Centaur sound exactly the same.

Love mine, as well. One thing that's not super cool: I have the shiny chrome version, and the lettering of the labels is totally coming off! It currently says "AIN, then nothing, then UTPU. And down by the switch, it reads CENTUR. Oh well.

Could you use this with the Vertex SSS? Or would that defeat the purpose of both pedals?

What songs we’re you playing or was most of the demoing like improvising and just playing whatever you felt it was absolutely the most killer blues I’ve heard I need to know how to play it

...until he tried to pick it out of a trio of pedals blindfolded and got it wrong! He loved the Archer and he was visibly upset that he "liked the wrong one" haha!

The tone at 6:45 is oh so divine.

Nice review. Time to over one

Please make video Nux Horseman pedal

Hey man what volume did you have your amp on to get that killer tone with this pedal? You just sold me on one

Try the JHS KLONE

have you tried stacking the centura with the steel string?

what do you think about the Klon KTR? Bill Finnegan claims it has the same exact circuit. I've also been looking in to the Studio Daydream KCM OD

Sort of reminds me of the Tru-fi ColorDriver

Do you still prefer the Ultraphonix?

The Pedal uses electrolytic capacitors which can fail, then it is unrepairable - great idea???

What amp you using ?

How are you mic’ing your amp? It’s one of the best tones I’ve heard online. Make me want another Klone! I stupidly sold my Architect awhile back. Also it the amp’s clean channel or the gain channel set clean?

Does the goop affect the tone tho?

What is the song you start playing at 10:00? It sounds very familiar but I can't find it..

Is this good with a fuzz?

I just bought a gold one and mine makes the clean channel break up when I’m playing through it when it isn’t engaged. Unplugged literally everything and it’s definitely the pedal, any idea what’s going on?

Hi. Is this pedal similar to the original Klon ? Thanks

That octave fuzz tone could seriously get it. I want that tone inside me! 🤘💦

They do sound cool though eh? Oh and why do folk think John Mayer is some kind of savant? I'm 47 and have been playing since I was 7 years old and there are thousands of players just like me and yourself who could probably humble young Mr. Mayer. I hear him play I don't hear anything supremely special, his earlier stuff was very good I acknowledge and like it but as far as his skill set, there are plenty who are equally as skilled if not more proficient Blues players than him.

that accent.... are you from montreal?

Mfw I'm the only girl watching this channel >_>

Yep, the CENTURA sounds like every other clone of the Klone out there, nothing special.

Un circuito tan básico que se puede fabricar y sumamente excesivo el precio
