Cornerstone Music Gear Cornerstone Music Gear Gladio Double Preamp
Presenting the all new Gladio Double Preamp pedal from Cornerstone Music Gear. The team at Cornerstone have always been fascinated by the sound of great artists like Robben Ford or Eric Johnson (to name a few) and it’s always been their dream to recreate those sounds in a pedal. To do that, they soon realized that the key was to be able to offer something close to the amps those players were using. The design goal had a name: Dumble.This is the reason why the GLADIO is an Overdrive with a realistic tube-compression behavior to mimic the Dumble's famous preamp saturation, while always retaining a rich touch-sensitive response. Why two channels? It’s all about versatility. The GLADIO has two independent channels with totally different voices, which when combined together offer an even wider range of sounds. The 1st channel is able to deliver a smooth and creamy sounds (inspired by songs like Robben Ford’s Cannonball Shuffle). It’s really transparent and with a round touch-sensitive response that helps enhancing the playing. Controls (Gain, Tone and Volume) are self-explanatory and there’s a toggle switch called COMP to choose between two different compression levels. The 2nd channel is designed to offer a special hard clipping sound pretty much inspired by Sonny Landreth’s tone. Controls are all self-explanatory, and it duplicate's the amp's JAZZ/ROCK EQ switch. For even more versatility, The Gladio is equipped with a special toggle switch to choose between two different switching modes: Single (S) and Double (D). In Single mode you can use only one channel at a time, which means that pressing the footswitch of one of the two channels makes the other turn off (so you can avoiding tip tap dancing). In Double mode you can stack the two channels to reach a huge fat Dumble-esque sound. 2 Fully independent channels Run the channels independently or stack them together Standard 9V DC, Tip Negative (Boss spec)
