Warm Audio Centavo Mods?

[ThomasAvenue]

I've had a bunch of Klones over the years...never quite bonded with the circuit or "got" it...is there anything to do with a Warm Audio Centavo?
Received one in the WA Mystery Box and was curious if there was anything fun to do with it or if it's sacrosanct...

If you don't like it then you should put a ring mod in it.

you can desolder the diodes and put sockets for switching out diodes... or solder in wires and add a switch to switch between a couple different sets of diode types.... that would be an easy quick mod... While your there you could clip out the IC's and add sockets for those as well to future proof it...

Really though, there are only a couple of options...

both involve GUTTING IT, yet retaining the 3-knob format, so within the enclosure, place either

1) DIY PELITAUR : based on Pelican NoiseWorks' circuit — two distinct fuzz circuits running in parallel. One of the knobs blends between them.​

or

2) VHS with the switches hidden on the back side of the enclosure.​

Yup.



Well, okay, the BEST option was already mentioned by jwin615. RING IT!


Still though, come up with the least-expected thing in there... maybe a Producer's Switch? ie Empty, the IN jack hardwired to the OUT, but retain the LED on/off status.

Relegate it to pedal-riser status after removing the knobs and stomper?


Of course, rehouse the guts from it into something odd, such as a mixer, waffle-iron or Easy-Bake Oven™...
