The Cornerstone Imperium V2 merges two of the brand’s most beloved overdrive circuits — the Gladio SC and the Antique — into one incredibly flexible, touch-sensitive, and sonically rich drive unit.
Designed to work either independently or together, the Imperium V2 covers the full spectrum of classic amp-like overdrive tones — from gentle breakup and dynamic response to stacked saturation and full-blown rock power. Whether you're chasing sweet sustain, edge-of-breakup rhythm textures, or harmonically rich lead tones, the Imperium is built to deliver.
On the Gladio SC side, the CLEAN knob lets you blend in your dry signal for added articulation and control. It’s a perfect match for players who want their dynamics to shine through, even with gain on tap.
On the Antique side, the PRESENCE knob shapes the post-clipping high-end — allowing you to tailor the brightness to suit your amp, guitar, or mix. Push it forward for added bite, or roll it off for warm, vintage-voiced drive.
The Imperium V2's redesigned enclosure now features four I/O jacks, giving you full independent routing for each side. Insert effects between the two channels, change their order in your signal chain, or run them as standalone pedals in complex switcher-based rigs.
Whether used on their own or stacked together, these two distinct voices form a powerful and musical pairing — a modern dual overdrive with old-school soul and exceptional versatility.
