Description
The Cornerstone Imperium V2 brings together two of Cornerstone's best-loved circuits-the Gladio and the Antique-into one versatile dual overdrive. This is ideal for players who want both touch-sensitive, amp-style breakup and smooth, harmonically rich drive on their board, all in a setup that's equally at home in classic rock, fusion, or blues. If you're looking for a pedal that can deliver subtle grit or crank out massive, articulate gain, the Imperium V2 can do both, either independently or stacked together for a bigger sound.
On the Gladio SC side, the CLEAN blend lets you mix your dry signal with your overdriven sound, giving you dynamic control and letting your playing really come through. The Antique side offers a PRESENCE knob so you can fine-tune the top end, making it easy to sit just right in a band mix. Each side has its own input and output, meaning you can split, route, or reorder your drive sounds to suit your pedalboard, or even insert other effects between the two circuits. The intuitive controls make it easy to dial in a huge range of tones, from subtle edge to a stacked wall of drive.
Build quality is what you'd expect from Cornerstone: handmade in Italy, solid-feeling, and built for years of reliable use. The footswitches are responsive, and the pedal is easy to integrate into even complex setups thanks to its independent ins and outs. We like it because it adapts to almost any playing style or rig and makes it simple to go from smooth, dynamic rhythm sounds to saturated leads-all without compromise.
