Description

The fusion of two of Cornerstone’s most iconic circuits — GLADIO and ANTIQUE —Imperium V2 is the ultimate dual overdrive pedal. Independently dynamic, ferocious when stacked. With four I/O jacks for full routing control, a versatile tone-shaping section, and intuitive controls like CLEAN, COLOR, PRESENCE, and COMP, Imperium is your new sonic centerpiece.

Gentle, Dynamic, Yet Powerful

Explore the dual nature of the Imperium V2.
From smooth, touch-sensitive overdrive to raw rock tones—use each side on its own or stack them for a wall of sound that’s articulate and powerful. A modern classic with vintage soul.

Gladio SC Side

On the Gladio SC side, the CLEAN knob lets you blend your dry signal with the overdriven tone—giving you total control over dynamics and clarity.
The result? A touch-sensitive overdrive that feels like an extension of your fingers.

Antique Side

On the Antique side, the PRESENCE knob adjusts the high-frequency content after the clipping stage—perfect for dialing in just the right amount of brightness to cut through the mix. Turn it up for added edge and clarity that cuts through the mix, or roll it back for warmer, vintage-flavored tones.

Stack & Reorder Each Side Onto Eachother

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.

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
