A true core tone pedal

The Gladio SC is built to stay always on, acting as the tonal backbone of your rig.

It enhances your guitar and amp instead of reshaping them, keeping your sound open, clear, and expressive.

Roll back your guitar volume or play lightly and it cleans up naturally. Dig in harder and it blooms with harmonics and sustain; exactly like a great amp pushed into its sweet spot.

Features

Gladio SC was built to recreate the feel, depth, and dynamic response of a great amp pushed to its sweet spot, where clean and driven tones blend together in a way that feels alive under your fingers. Here’s what makes that possible…
Clean blend control
The CLEAN knob lets you blend your guitar’s pure signal with the overdriven tone without lowering the gain. The result is greater clarity, natural note attack, and touch-sensitive dynamics that stay alive under your fingers.
Instead of running everything in series, Gladio SC keeps clean and driven signals working in parallel. This preserves openness, depth, and articulation, delivering a tone that feels wide, three-dimensional, and incredibly responsive.
The Compression toggle allows you to fine-tune the pedal’s feel and response. Go from smoother and more controlled to open, punchy, and expressive, adapting the drive character to your touch and your amp.
Gladio SC recreates the sensation of playing through two amps at once: one clean and one driven. The sound stays warm and saturated, yet every note retains definition, attack and harmonic depth.

GLADIO SC

Clean blend, pure dynamics

The signature Clean control lets you mix your dry guitar signal with the overdrive without reducing gain. This preserves pick attack, clarity, and note definition, the secret behind those expressive, touch-sensitive tones associated with players like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robben Ford.

Amp-Like feel under your fingers

Thanks to its carefully tuned compression behavior and dynamic response, Gladio SC feels less like a pedal and more like a driven tube amp. It reacts to your touch, cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob, and delivers a warm, vocal overdrive that breathes with your playing.

The Gladio SC is the closest I’ve ever come to that legendary Dumble ‘SSS’ sound. The ‘Clean’ knob is the secret weapon here; it allows you to layer your clean attack over the overdrive, giving you that thick, ‘Texas Blues’ snap that is usually so hard to dial in. It’s small, simple to use, and sounds massive through a clean Fender-style amp.

The way this pedal reacts to my volume knob is astounding. I can go from a shimmering clean to a gritty, singing drive just with my picking hand and guitar controls. It doesn’t mask the character of your instrument; it enhances it. If you want a Dumble-style drive that doesn’t sound ‘boxy’ and has incredible headroom, look no further.
