【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.

This is a version produced using the original circuit when Centura was developed.
Comparing the tone of the Early Ver. and the regular version, the Early Ver. has a slightly thicker mid tone, and the regular version has a flatter tone.
Ceriatone Centura Early Ver. is a version produced using the original circuit when Centura was developed.
As is well known, overdrive pedals have different tones depending on when they were produced and each individual pedal.
When the Centura was first developed, the circuit was set up to approximate the tone of the original model owned by Ceriatone.
Since then, the regular model has been adjusted to even more closely match the tone of the earliest original model.
Comparing the tone of the Early Ver. and the regular version, the Early Ver. has a slightly thicker mid tone, and the regular version has a flatter tone.
The Ceriatone Centura is an overdrive pedal in the truest sense of the word, expanding the possibilities of your tone and amp. It is especially compatible with tube amps that are set to the perfect range, where distortion is added or not added to the tone.
Centura produces top-notch tones in all areas, from clean boost to full gain settings. Feel free to set all the knobs to find your own unique tone. You can't go wrong with any setting.
●Control
・GAIN: Adjust the strength of distortion. The minimum setting will give you a clean tone.
・TREBLE: Adjusts the tone mainly in the high range. It becomes flat at around 11:30.
・OUTPUT: Adjust the volume. The circuit will reach unity gain at around 11:30, but the actual volume will vary depending on the GAIN and TREBLE settings.
●Differences from “classic” units
The Ceriatone Centura produces a tone that is almost the same as the classic unit, but you can achieve the same level by setting the Output slightly higher than the classic unit. This difference is due to the pot taper. As you approach full-up, the difference becomes smaller.
Feel free to adjust the knob settings to find the best sound. There are infinite combinations of what kind of music you can play with any guitar or amp. In other words, there are an infinite number of optimal settings.
●Power supply
Centura is powered by a 3.5mm mini-plug DC9V adapter. The tip of the plug is positive.
●Battery
Centura can also be powered by a standard 9V battery. If you wish to use batteries, open the screw on the bottom with a flathead screwdriver and attach the battery to the internal battery snap.
If you feel that the tone is different with the usual settings, replace the battery with a new one. Also, when not using the product for a long time, remove the battery before storing it.
Each Centura is assembled by hand.
