Features & Capabilities

ChowCentaur is an audio plugin emulation of the renowned Klon Centaur guitar pedal. The emulation features the three knob parameters from the original pedal, along with a bypass switch, and a menu to choose between two different emulation modes. The "Traditional" emulation mode uses traditional circuit modelling techniques, while the "Neural" mode uses a recurrent neural network.

ChowCentaur began as a research project, intending to compare the benefits and drawbacks of different circuit modelling techniques. As such, there are several supporting materials that may be interesting to users with a more technical background:

User Reviews

Put this up against the Nembrini version and it’s pretty impressive how clear and articulate this is… does what a great boost should which is to make a great amp scream and sing without getting in the way or too much overt coloration. Using this in front of THU fender amp rigs feel so lifelike and expressive it gives me a huge grin and it’s such a great time to be a guitarist with all this emerging iOS sim software. Pure Heaven, thanks!
