Behringer CENTAUR OVERDRIVE Overview

Legendary Overdrive Pedal with Huge Dynamic Range
Based on one of the most legendary overdrive pedals of all time, the Klon Centaur, the Zentara Overdrive from Behringer delivers the huge dynamic range and soft clipping of the original to your pedalboard for a fraction of the price. Sporting dual pot gain control and all-analog circuitry with germanium diodes, this pedal offers versatile control, amp-like touch response, and epic dynamics.

The stepped up internal voltage allows the Centaur Overdrive to offer a huge dynamic range, letting your drive tone get as subtle or face melting as you want. Dedicated treble control provides a method of shaping high frequencies to tailor your needs. With a discrete buffered bypass, your signal is propped for long cable runs or complex pedalboards without losing tone or signal strength. And with a robust metal housing and vintage styling, this stylish pedal will stand out visually and stand up physically to the rigors of touring.

The Centaur Mythos
The heart of Zentara Overdrive's transparent circuit is a dual-potentiometer gain control—an improved version of the original concentric gain control which makes it more reliable and precise. Simply put, you get to easily dial in your tone to get a completely clean signal or have more overdrive mixed in as you turn the knob all the way up.
Squeaky Clean or Awesomely Dirty
A great characteristic of Zentara Overdrive is its natural ability to respond well to picking dynamics. The pedal's high headroom and high-quality diodes make this possible. With Zentara Overdrive in the chain, you can dance lightly on the strings for a cleaner tone or really dig in to make your guitar, and amp, roar.
Optimal Signal Chain Placement
Zentara Overdrive is a versatile overdrive pedal and can be placed in your signal chain in a variety of ways, including:

  • As a clean boost, ideal for kicking on during a solo
  • In front of an amp at the edge of breakup, gain at around 60%, with the rest of the controls at noon
  • Overdrive at full, in-your-face saturation
Incredibly Flexible
Whatever guitar, amp and pedal combination you have, Zentara Overdrive can easily make its home in your rig and give you all the legendary tones you've been searching for, or let you discover new ones never knew you wanted. With support for both 9V batteries or 9 VDC power adapters (both sold separately), you always have a power option nearby.
