OVERDRIVE- CORNERSTONE Gladio Mk3___NEW___Dumble-in-a-Box ___impressive

 Cornerstone 

 GLADIO   D O U B L E   P R E A M P

$355.00 USD

This has been a hugely successful Dumble-in-a-Box 

unit that several variations were made into both single 

and/or double pedals. At which time this was dropped 

and players cherry picked one of the niche variations 

that most nailed the superhero they emulated... BUT? 

Many guys like me were more concerned to dial in

their own perfect sounds. It is intuitive but I will let 

the video explain the layout or I would have to copy  

the manual, lol. 

            CONCLUSION

The extra high headroom and the Clean blend 

are to me its most exciting new features.  

They have always been very pricy. BUT? They have 

not raised them and lesser pedals have rocketed up  

past them. You get good value for your ca$h. 

 

A MUST SEE !!! BIGGEST FOR PEDAL SALES 1976 to 2026

HERE TODAY-GONE TOMORROW     

&  BACK NEXT WEEK !!! 

 

 

WHAT's NEXT ?   

My guess is Behringer is aiming to grab first place. 

They dropped the ball for a few years but the new 

formula is all about both cheap but great sounding & looking pedals. They will leave nothing untouched. 

They have the advantage of a massive high tech factory with everything in one place from designers to making their own parts & to the shop floor just a short walk away.

When I post a new Behringer 10 times more of you are looking at that post than @ other pedals & from within minutes of me posting it. My Posts are the voting booth and you guys are the voters.    

 

GOODBYE AMERICA 

Brands like Strymon, JHS Wampler & Keeley may disappear as we know 

them. The gap in MIC vs. U.S. quality keeps getting smaller & smaller 

& more & more product in China is assembled without human hands. 

Like TC Electronic Behringer might buy them. Alternatively they could 

simply like MXR have them made in China. Electro Harmonix have all 

the guts made in China then assemble the 4 or 5 parts in the U.S. to 

qualify as made in the U.S. This will be adopted by others.

Gourmet one man operations will survive especially if they specialize 

in one or 2 types of pedals and work from home, 😇.

____ AN OVERVIEW OF PEDALS IN THE MODERN ERA

 PEDALS NOW   

  ....is HOTONE the new BOSS ?  

     ...HOTONE has indeed changed expectations. They have also brought Boomers  

        that are retired and with both free time and money into the Modelers world. 

        But just like the iPhone killing off Blackberry companies like Valeton are  

        lowering prices or adding even more features. Then there are those that are 

        young and are ready to move on up. They will not pay 5 times more for 

        something that is barely twice as good so the big boys companies are 

        heading into a bleaker future.

FUZZ- CATALINBREAD Cold One___NEW___ DOD Punkifier clone

$290.00 USD

catalinbread 

COLD ONE    

The re-birth of the DOD Punkifier. 

The pedal is a Fuzzy Drive. A distortion pedal and Fuzz 

blended into one sound. The layout is Volume, Tone and 

Gain. Gain works only with the Distortion side. Glitch 

works with the Fuzz which messes with the BIAS & 

gives you controllable squelches. 

CONCLUSION __

I love it. You can rip 

it up without ripping 

it to pieces!!!

OVERDRIVE- LPD PEDALS Eidos Overdrive___NEW___ Nobels ODR-1 clone

LPD PEDALS

 EIDOS  OVERDRIVE

$220.00 USD

This pedal is more about getting a perfect replica of the original Nobels ODR-1 then hot rodding it. It even has the internal control that tightens 

the bass that can get muddy with some rigs.  The layout has the 

expected Level, Gain, Bass and Spectrum that voices the Mids. 

       ·····

            CONCLUSION __

All the pedals are made by Lawrence Petross in small batches and a new one is usually sold out in the first few hours. A lot 

of players collect them. So what's the big deal? A LPD pedal 

has details in the harmonics and overtones that are startling impressive. All also have touch sensitivity. Your fingers tell 

the pedal how to sound. The pedal never dictates how 

you have to play.
