The Cornerstone Centurio is a professional dual channel overdrive pedal that reimagines the classic Klon-style circuit for modern players. Handcrafted in Italy, it gives you two fully independent gain and volume stages in a single enclosure, letting you move from edge-of-breakup rhythm to saturated lead tones at the tap of a switch, without changing the feel or character of your core sound. Built around a Klon-inspired topology, Centurio keeps the familiar amp-pushing response that players love, but adds far more control over how the drive behaves. With dedicated Gain, Volume, Tone, Comp and Clip controls, plus a Hot mode toggle and a Bright switch for the hotter channel, you can shape everything from tight, articulate crunch to open, harmonically rich overdrive that responds beautifully to your picking dynamics. On a crowded pedalboard, Centurio can easily replace multiple gain pedals. Set the Normal mode for low to medium gain rhythm work, then use the Hot mode as your dedicated lead sound, with its own volume level and Bright voicing. The external switching input lets you integrate it with loop switchers or MIDI systems, making it a powerful choice for serious live rigs and studio setups alike. Dual Klon-Inspired Channels At the heart of Centurio are two independent overdrive channels based on a Klon-style circuit design. Rather than stacking two generic drives, Cornerstone have given each channel its own gain and volume stage, so you can dial in two distinct levels of saturation that still share the same musical, amp-friendly character. Normal and Hot Modes The Normal mode is ideal for always-on tone shaping, adding clarity, punch and a touch of grit to a clean or edge-of-breakup amp. Engage Hot mode and you step into a more saturated, singing overdrive that is perfect for solos and heavier parts. Because the channels are independent, you can balance their levels precisely for seamless transitions mid-song. Deep Tone, Clipping and Compression Control Centurio goes far beyond a simple three-knob overdrive. The Tone control shapes the overall frequency response, while the Clip control adjusts the clipping character, letting you move from smoother, more compressed textures to a more open, dynamic feel. The Comp control fine-tunes how the pedal responds under your fingers, so you can match the pedal to your playing style and guitar. Stage-Ready Switching and Bright Option With independent Normal and Hot gain stages that can be switched on the fly, plus an external footswitch input, Centurio is designed to drop straight into professional pedalboard systems. The dedicated Bright switch for the Hot mode lets you choose between a more cutting, present top end or a tighter, more focused response, helping your lead sound sit perfectly in any mix. Dual Independent Gain Channels - Two separate gain and volume stages let you set up distinct rhythm and lead sounds within one pedal. This reduces the need for multiple overdrives, simplifies your board and keeps your core tone consistent across all gain levels. Bright Switch For Hot Mode - The dedicated Bright switch only affects the Hot channel, so you can fine-tune your lead voicing without altering your base sound. Choose a brighter response for extra cut or a tighter option for a more focused, controlled overdrive. Adjustable Clipping And Compression - With Clip and Comp controls, you can decide exactly how the drive breaks up and how it reacts to your touch. This makes it easy to tailor Centurio to different guitars, amps and genres, from smooth, sustaining lines to punchy, dynamic crunch. Klon Circuit Reimagined For Modern Rigs - Built on a Klon-inspired design but optimised for contemporary pedalboards, Centurio delivers the familiar feel and amp-pushing character while adding genuine versatility. The external switching capability means it integrates effortlessly into complex live and studio setups.
