Cornerstone Music Gear Centurio Dual-Channel Overdrive Pedal

The Ultimate Evolution of the Legendary Klon Circuit

If you love the sound of a Klon Centaur, you probably know the secret trick: stacking two of them together for different gain stages. The Cornerstone Centurio solves this problem by packing two independent, footswitchable Klon-style overdrive channels into a single, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Hand-built in Italy, the Centurio delivers everything from a pristine transparent clean boost to heavily saturated, sustaining lead tones.

Dual-Channel Versatility

  • Normal Mode: Your classic transparent overdrive. Featuring independent Gain and Volume controls, it operates perfectly as a dynamic clean boost or an edge-of-breakup rhythm tone that preserves your guitar's natural EQ.
  • Hot Mode: A dedicated second channel with its own Gain and Volume knobs. This mode introduces a second gain stage for aggressive saturation, heavier compression, and endless sustain—perfect for soaring solos.

Advanced Tone Shaping

Unlike traditional overdrives with static toggle switches, the Centurio gives you absolute control over your clipping profile:

  • Variable Clipping Blend: A dedicated "Clip" knob lets you seamlessly sweep between the warm, soft attack of Germanium diodes and the tight, articulate bite of MOSFET clipping.
  • Dedicated Bright Switch: Shape your Hot Mode channel without affecting your Normal tone. Toggle up for extra high-end presence, or down for a focused, tighter response.
