Cornerstone Imperium V2 Overdrive Pedal

Imagine fusing two legendary tones into one powerful unit: on one hand a smooth, expressive voice and on the other a raw, dynamic punch.

The Imperium V2 seamlessly unites two of Cornerstone's most celebrated circuits, the Gladio SC and the Antique V3, into a single pedal. Each side is voiced to capture a distinct sonic legacy, but when combined, they deliver a tone that’s powerful yet articulate, creamy yet cutting, rich in dynamics and feel. 

Stack them, shape them independently, and control the synergy between them

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.

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.

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.

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 flow.
