Features

Gentle and dynamic. Powerful and ready to roar. Discover the dual personality of Imperium V2. From smooth, touch-sensitive overdrive to bold rock tones, each side shines on its own. Or stack them for a rich, articulate wall of sound. A modern classic with a vintage soul.
A touch-sensitive overdrive
On the Gladio SC side, the CLEAN knob lets you blend your dry signal with the overdriven tone, giving you precise control over dynamics and clarity. The result? A touch-sensitive overdrive that feels like a true extension of your fingers.
On the Antique side, the PRESENCE knob shapes the high frequencies after clipping-dial in extra edge and clarity to cut through the mix, or roll back for warmer, vintage-inspired tones.
Imperium V2 is equipped with four separate I/O jacks (one for each side’s input and output), giving you maximum flexibility in any rig. Use the Gladio and Antique circuits as two completely independent pedals, perfect for pedal switchers and advanced routing setups. Insert effects between the two channels (like a modulation or fuzz), or reorder the signal path to fit your personal flow.
Combine Gladio and Antique for a massive, harmonically rich wall of sound, or use them independently for subtle, expressive tones. Imperium V2 lets you explore endless sonic combinations, giving you full creative freedom to shape your signature overdrive.

I just brought a used Imperium pedal and I would like to share how I’m impressed with the sounds quality and balance. I’ve used Barber pedals for a long time thinking that nobody could do better pedals or at least equal, but you did something in the same level (or better) with adds. Thank you!

As a session player, I need versatility. The Imperium gives me everything from a clean-ish boost to a searing Texas-blues lead. The ‘Presence’ and ‘Comp’ toggles on the Antique side are essential for tailoring the pedal to different amps. It’s incredibly quiet, built like a tank, and the order-switch allows for instant experimentation. Worth every penny for the professional guitarist.

This pedal transformed my rig. The Gladio side captures that elusive ‘Robben Ford’ vibe perfectly, especially with the ‘Clean’ knob adding back the punch. Flipping the order to put the Antique after the Gladio creates a massive, ‘violin-like’ sustain that is perfect for solos.
