Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
Discover the CORNERSTONE MUSIC GEAR Gladio SC Preamp / Overdrive (Black), a pedal inspired by the Dumble tube amplifiers used by music legends. Ideal for guitarists seeking authentic blues tones, this preamp offers an unparalleled sonic experience.
Overview
The Gladio SC Preamp / Overdrive replicates the characteristics of the first channel of the Gladio MK3 Dual and focuses on the warm, natural tones associated with the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. This unit will appeal to guitarists playing styles such as traditional blues, modern blues, blues fusion, and pop-rock.
Exceptional tonal versatility thanks to a blend of clean and processed signals
The Clean control lets you blend a portion of your guitar’s unprocessed signal with the signal processed by the circuit, thereby optimizing definition, note clarity, and low-frequency density. You’ll feel as though you’re playing through two amps at once.
Adjust your expressiveness with the compression switch
The two-position compression switch lets you adjust the Gladio SC’s responsiveness and dynamics, ranging from a subdued, controlled sound to a punchy, open sound. This gives you total control over your musical expression.
