GLADIATOR DOUBLE PREAMP

12*9.5*4.5CM

Demonfx GLADIATOR DOUBLE PREAMP
Based on Cornerstone Gladio Double Preamp

WHAT IS THE GLADIO?
GLA is an overdrive with a realistic tube-compression behavior, still always retaining a rich touch-sensitive response,
with two independent channels with totally different voices for a lot of versatility.


The Gladio is specifically designed to help worldwide Robben Ford fans to reach his fabulous Dumble tone.
You will not only get a similar tone but you’ll find renewed inspiration and ideas thanks to Gladio’s exceptional
touch sensitivity and amp-like feel.

WHAT ABOUT CHANNEL 1?
Smooth, edgy and transparent inspired by Robben Ford’s Cannonball Shuffle, with a comp switch to allow more versatility over the dynamic range

WHAT ABOUT CHANNEL 2?
Hard clipped, creamy and Fat inspired by Sonny Landreth’s Elemental Journey. with a switch called JAZZ/ROCK to choose from mellow or brighter sounds

WANT MORE VERSATILITY?
The Gladio is also equipped with a toggle switch to choose between two different switching modes.
“S” which stands for “SINGLE” and “D” which stands for “DOUBLE”.

In Single mode you can use only one channel at a time. Very useful to switch between one sound or another in a live situation.
In Double mode you can stack the two channels to reach a huge FAT sound


Lower gain settings give us beautiful, blooming edge-of-breakup tones with a bold and immediate attack.
There’s smooth soft clipping, huge sustain and dazzling, amp-like touch response.
 Up the gain you are rewarded with focused, articulate lead tones that simply roar from the speakers
but flip the ‘comp’ switch if you’re seeking lower headroom and a smoother ride.


Switching to the smaller tweed amp, the tones are no less impressive and the P-90s in our Goldtop enjoy side two’s more aggressive hard clipping.
The ‘jazz/rock’ switch changes the midrange voice, with the rock position particularly excelling for American-voiced slide that verges on fuzz.
Switch to double mode and stack both drives to transform a vintage combo into a colossal multi-channel monster, capable of handling just about any genre.
