The Gladio SC by Cornerstone Music Gear is a preamp/overdrive pedal designed to provide the same sound as the "big brother" Gladio but in a smaller and more compact size. It is inspired by the famous Dumble preamp and aims to achieve a realistic tube-compression behavior. The pedal is based on the Gladio's first channel, featuring the same sound and controls, with the addition of a new CLEAN knob. This knob allows for a "clean layer" to be added on top of the overdrive sound, contributing to achieving a Texas-blues sound. The CLEAN knob affects three parameters simultaneously: Bottom End, Compression, and Saturation.
