Demonfx GLADIATOR Dual Preamp Overdrive and Distortion

The Demonfx GLADIATOR Dual Preamp Overdrive and Distortion pedal is a versatile and powerful effect designed to emulate the sought-after tones of high-end Dumble amplifiers, reminiscent of Robben Ford and Sonny Landreth's distinct sounds. Modeled after the Cornerstone Gladio, this dual-channel pedal offers two unique voicings:

• Channel 1 delivers a smooth, transparent overdrive, ideal for subtle drive and nuanced playing. It includes a "Comp" switch to adjust the dynamic range, which is particularly effective for clean, responsive tones.
• Channel 2 offers a more aggressive, hard-clipping tone with a "Jazz/Rock" toggle switch, letting players choose between a warmer or brighter sound. This channel excels at producing rich, creamy overdrive with ample sustain and is especially responsive to pick attack.

The GLADIATOR also features "Single" and "Double" modes: in Single mode, each channel operates independently; in Double mode, both channels can be stacked, creating a fuller, heavier tone with increased gain and sustain. True-bypass switching, a compact design, and robust construction make this pedal suitable for both live performance and studio use, offering guitarists the flexibility to shape their sound across genres, from blues to rock. Powered by a standard 9V DC adapter, it fits seamlessly onto any pedalboard setup.

This pedal’s combination of responsive tone control and dynamic range adjustments makes it ideal for players seeking the unique "amp-in-a-box" experience that captures vintage amplifier warmth and touch sensitivity.
