Centaur

I've never played the "real thing" but damn, this one is an outstanding clean-boost & low-to-mid gain OD. I use it after the Les Lius as my main overdrive and it rocks !

joel_aguilar

Nice overdrive

Versatile, some times too midy, but great for that extra punch for the amp.

trevor_holly

Awesome Pedal

Thinking about getting a second one... superb clean boost, and when you get the gain around 4-5 o'clock... WOW!
