LILT GLADIATOR I
$80.00 USD |
It is meant to give you a Dumble/SRV sound
It has quickly become the pedal of the gods with the vibe of the original Klon and now has a King of Tone waiting list, lol.

THE SECRET SAUCE
To the best of my knowledge Lilt is in gourmet fashion a guy with perhaps a few assistants that builds your pedal one at a time. At $80.00 USD a pop and without a single video review I decided to push my luck and ordered one, lol.
My guess is the guy is an engineer. In a poor English translation the guy tried to explain the complex filter thing that adds harmonics as you push up the 'clean' knob.
That feature is the 'secret sauce' of both these pedals. It is 'not' just blending in cleans. It is a similar process used to restore historical audio. It adds harmonic content. It is frequently used in big budget documentary's that have inaudible old recordings.
Without this process you would be dealing with just another low gain OD.
CONCLUSION
OK ..got mine and had some serious time using it. The short story is I borrowed that Martin Frydas uses on the video. I got the sound of the single EQ of the Gladio by setting both bass ans treble at 2 o'clock.
is this the one on ali express. Can't find site for lilt
ReplyDeleteYes it is . Just type in Lilt.
