• WARM AUDIO / Centavo review by Daisuke Ishimoto published!

  

  2023/10/04

  We have published a review of WARM AUDIO's Centavo by Daisuke Ishimoto, a musician active in music production for TV and stage and support performances for various artists!
  
  "CENTAVO seems to have a slightly wider and more modern range, both above and below, and a wider range of gain settings." "Although the curves of each knob are slightly different, I was astonished that I couldn't tell the difference at times when I was playing!" "The two are almost equally matched, but they also have a wide range that matches the modern field of music that the original does not have, and it was well worth considering introducing." Mr. Ishimoto gave it high marks!
  
  In the 5-minute video, he plays various settings and phrases, comparing them with KLON CENTAUR to quickly understand the differences. This is what guitarists around the world wanted to hear the most. We hope you will listen and consider introducing it to your effects board!
