Cornerstone has transformed the extraordinarily complex into the beautifully simple. This pedal is not just another Fuzz. This pedal combines an original fuzz circuit with a fully built-in Gladio SC circuit producing one powerful fuzz.
Key Features
- Two BIAS Controls, Two Different Sounds – Equipped with two independent bias controls, you can effortlessly transition between tones with the click of a footswitch.
- Controlled Compression – The SC Circuit in the Nero manages the overall compression, resulting in a controlled, impactful fuzz.
At its heart is a rich FUZZ gain stage that beautifully cascades into a steadfast GLADIO SC circuit; a combination designed to unlock new realms of musical flexibility.
Controlled Compression
The Comp is the clean of the Gladio SC which, being hit from a fuzz in front, can’t be called “clean” anymore. Since it controls the amount of fuzz signal allowed to “pass-by” the SC section of the pedal manages the overall compression for a more controlled fuzz.
Stacked Drive Effect
The Nero pedal combines a unique fuzz circuit with a built-in Gladio SC, activating both circuits simultaneously for a stacked drive effect. It features a “Comp” knob for compression management, altering overall compression, and two independent bias controls (“voices”) for a range of fuzz and overdrive tones.
Flexible Gain
Notably, Nero allows for flexible gain control, maintains high input impedance for pedalboard versatility, offers constant compression adjustment, and seamlessly transitions between gritty fuzz and full overdrive with a footswitch. It also achieves gated fuzz and nice cleanup effects under specific conditions.
