Cornerstone Music Gear Gladio SC Preamp, Single Channel Dumble Style Drive NEW (Authorized Dealer)

From Cornerstone Music Gear:

"Gladio SC (single channel), isdesigned to offer the same sound of the "big brother" Gladio but in asmaller and compact size.

While the Gladio double channel was inspire by the artistslike Robben Ford and Sonny Landreth, the Gladio SC tries to take a step closerto the Steve Ray Vaughan sound, which was achieved using a Dumble amplier too."

"The Gladio SC is based on the Gladio 1st channel, with theexact same sound and controls, except the new CLEAN knob. This addition makes avery big dfference, and it's the one that could actually make the sound becloser to SRV.; the clean signal is taken directly at the input of the pedaland mixed back with the overdriven signal at the output, the CLEAN knob thusmanages the volume of the clean signal. with the result of having a "cleanlayer" on top of the overdrive sound, which help a lot to achieve thattexas-blues sound."

"A Clean knob like this affects 3 parameters all at once (youcan notice their change sweeping the Clean from zero to even a 40% rotation):
- Bottom End: the sound becomes fatter
- Compression: The non-compressed clean sound comes into themix, and the change in compression is particularly accentuated on the attack.
- Saturation: When the clean sound comes into the mix thefinal output sound becomes hotter, and it’s able to better push the front endof the amp."
