The Behringer Centara brings a thing of genuine legend into the hands of the common man. A pedal which has certainly earned its’ name sake, the Centara is as legendary as the many mythological creatures it’s named after, its mythological status in the realm of guitar is second to none, and now Behringer brings their take on the icon. With dual potentiometer gain control it provides a reliable and concise tone dialling experience, so whether you’re artisanally dialling in the perfect break point, or cranking up the gain for a screaming dirty solo it just makes sense. Its high headroom means it’s got dynamics for days, from picking lightly to really digging in the drive is naturally responsive to your playing, all thanks to the high quality Germanium diodes.
