Cornerstone Gladio SC - SRV Clean Drive Guitar Tones and Feel

The Gladio SC is a distillation of the larger Gladio preamp by Italy’s Cornerstone Gear. It can accomplish much of the same tone and feel as its larger brother, but has a penchant for Texas Blues and SRV tones I found the hype to be all too real. The very simple control scheme can bring a lot of variation in tones. The innovative Clean knob brings in different EQ shapes and interactivity with the other controls as you increase it. The Compression switch lets you choose between a very distinct note attack versus an amazingly smooth yet responsive and dynamic slurry of notes. The Gain is unlike anything I’ve ever played, I loved it parked right around 2-3pm but maxing out was beautiful too. And the Tone dial allows you to soften the high end if you opt for more headroom. Truly blown away by your creativity and taste for tone, Cornerstone gear!
