Cornerstone released the Imperium V2 overdrive pedal with two different drive sounds. The company combined effects from their Gladio and Antique pedals into one unit. Musicians can use both drives together or separately through four input and output jacks. Each drive section has its separate footswitch for easy control. The new design looks much better than the original version.
The Gladio side responds well to how hard players pick the strings. It features volume and gain knobs with a clean control that mixes the original guitar sound. Musicians can adjust how much drive they want mixed with their clean tone. The Antique section offers volume, gain and presence controls for shaping the high frequencies. Both drives work well for blues and rhythm playing at lower settings.
Players can stack both drives together for heavier sounds perfect for lead guitar work. The pedal costs 319 pounds or 349 euros from European dealers. Cornerstone calls this their ultimate dual overdrive design. The company already makes the popular Colosseum pedal with different drive circuits. Guitar stores can order the Imperium V2 directly from Cornerstone.
