It’s an excellent choice for players who want a wide range of overdrive sounds in a compact footprint, especially those with a penchant for European boutique gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

It blends the distorted signal with a clean signal, allowing you to tame the high-gain output and create a more balanced, less saturated tone.
It's designed to be a parallel output, allowing you to send the Gladio SC signal to another amp or effect while the main output carries the Antique signal or the combined FX order.
The Italian craftsmanship and distinct circuit designs of both overdrives set it apart – it's not just another two-in-one; each side has its own unique character, rivaling dedicated pedals at a similar price point.
