Cornerstone nailed it with the Colosseum. It’s a clever pairing—the BB side delivers a refined, usable take on a classic, while the Klon side adds some grit and character with that clip-bender. Perfect for players wanting a versatile overdrive solution for rock, blues, and beyond, without needing multiple pedals.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Clean control subtly tames the low-end and darkens the high frequencies, offering a more transparent boost or a slightly brighter overdrive tone.
It's inspired by the Klon, retaining its core DNA but adding the clip-bender for extra flexibility and a slightly different sonic signature.
The clip-bender introduces a more aggressive, dynamic distortion that can range from subtle harmonic enhancement to a more pronounced, saturated drive depending on the setting.
