Features

Imagine a gadget that harks back to classic, vintage sounds yet embraces ingenuity and forward-thinking design. That’s the Nero Fuzz. Equipped with two independent bias controls, you can effortless transition between tones with the click of a footswitch.
A "Comp" knob that manages compression
The NERO includes a “Comp” knob that manages compression by blending the sound from the Fuzz section with the Gladio SC section in parallel, thereby adjusting overall compression.
The switch between voice 1 and voice 2 can also be done with an external latching footswitch. This is ideal for use with looper switchers or when the pedal itself is not easily accessible, such as with multilevel pedalboards.
Nero combines a rich Fuzz section with a full Gladio SC circuit, giving you stacked tones without needing additional pedals. Acting like a preamp, it delivers a rounded, controlled final tone-even when your amp already has some dirt-making complex layering effortless and musical.
Forget the usual placement restrictions of fuzz pedals. With a 1 MΩ input impedance, Nero can sit anywhere on your pedalboard (first in the chain or later) without compromising tone.

NERO

Two voices, endless possibilities

Nero features two independent bias controls, letting you switch between distinct voices instantly with the dedicated footswitch. Voice 1 delivers gritty, aggressive tones that open up into gated textures as you roll back your guitar’s volume. Voice 2 brings a full-bodied overdrive that cleans up beautifully when the guitar volume is lowered-perfect for dynamic playing and expressive control.

Compression under control

The Comp knob manages the interaction between the Fuzz and the Gladio SC sections. Think of it as a parallel mix: it controls how much of the fuzz signal feeds into the SC, shaping the overall compression and giving you full control over your tone’s dynamics, always tight, always expressive.

Finally a fuzz for my clean amp! I’m a clean amp player and a clean-up-with-the-volume-pot fuzz lover and this pedal checks all my boxes. The sound is thick if I want it to be and the versatility of the two voices is fantastic as well. 100% recommended.

As always with Cornerstone, you have to try to say….. wow i didn’t know i need a fuzz.
Cause this is not just a fuzz. I bought a fuzz face one year ago and after two or three times i put it back in the box. Here u have something different, it’s a blend between an od and a fuzz, and what an od (gladio Sc). The only problem u will have after buying this it’s always the same…. U must change your pedalboard…. Damn’t

If you’ve been looking for the right fuzz for a long time, it’s probably this one. I have a lot of fuzzes and they’re all fun but I couldn’t find the “right” one for me until Nero dropped. Nero has lead me to my favorite sounds I’ve experienced so far in my guitar playing journey. It pairs beautifully with other drives, isn’t finicky about location in a chain, responds to rolled off guitar volume SO well and just has so many useable sounds in it. Antique v3 is definitely next on my list and I can’t wait to try more Cornerstone pedals!
