Behringer Centaur, Centara, or Zentara

Now on its third name, should the original Centaur version be marked as discontinued, or should it simply be updated to reflect the name Centara, or Zentara? Or could all three alternate product names be added, instead of making it one long name?

  • Fender Jason Isbell Custom Telecaster
  • Crowther Hot Cake
  • Rivera Chubster 40

Updating the name makes the most sense to me. We should just note in the description that it was called something else before. I mean it's the same pedal regardless of what its called. The shape didn't even change. I've been doing the same with the Japanese guitar models that I've been adding-- noting in the description prior model names. And when someone adds a Centaur, or Centara, we'll catch it and submit it as a dupe.

It's kinda stupid that some are listing their Behringer "Centaurs" for more on reverb.

Agreed on the "flipping" but I think few people are successfully selling their pre lawsuit Centaurs for double MSRP. What's weird is I've seen people order them after they supposedly changed the name and get the Centaur version, I don't think I've heard of anyone actually getting the Centara or Zentara out in the wild.

are they the same circuit? not just generally the same centaur topology, but the same? can someone take all 3 apart and see if all the signal path components are the same??? If not, how significant are the circuit revisions? A name change is insignificant. If the circuits have been modified that may or may not be significant..,. depends what has changed.

No real revisions, just rebranding. I know we have some limited editions on here that are mere paint jobs, but I think these options could be added just like we added paint colors to guitars recently.

it is the same pedal. same case shape, same knobs, same innards, same color, same price, same everything except for the name and the horse graphic which they had to update because of a trademark infringement lawsuit from klon.
